Roundtable_014 - Soft Forks and Censorship

Listen Later

Grab your drink and pull up a chair - it’s another Bitcoin Roundtable with Simple Steve, Bitcoin Mechanic, and my brother Jeff Swann.

This time we’re diving into the chaos around soft forks, censorship, and the latest round of Bitcoin drama. We get into the weeds (and the memes) of BIP 444, Taproot fallout, node wars, and whether limiting data on-chain is smart security or overzealous gatekeeping.

Between technical tangents, Halloween costumes, and a few “did that really happen?” moments, we bounce between philosophy and practicality... all while trying to figure out who exactly broke Bitcoin this time.

Check out our awesome sponsors!
