Bitcoin's adolescence
Probably the best description for what is happening within bitcoin recently came from TechCrunch columnist Jon Evens, who wrote that he believes bitcoin, and derivative technologies like blockchain, "are still in their gangly antisocial adolescence".
This is fitting, given Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's new argument on bitcoin’s longstanding block size issue in which he alleged that some Bitcoin Core developers "lack maturity".
To remedy this issue, Armstrong believes it is time for competition in bitcoin development so the technology can push forward.
This has been widely viewed as contentious by members of the community, but perhaps it shouldn't be.
