My article "The Senatorial Governance of Bitcoin" for
Economy & Society (
https://doi.org/10.1080/03085147.2019.1678262) trended on Hacker News recently and caused some heated debate among some key Bitcoin figures (
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21975736).
As of yet, no comment has discredited the framework I outline there but I would still like to find someone who can challenge my argument and highlight anything that may have been missed in the paper. It would be great to get the opinion of someone who has knowledge about Bitcoin's production process over its recent history (including events like SegWit and the UASF) and, preferably, with Bitcoin Core development experience (although this is not essential).
If you are interested in reviewing this article, please email

Thanks!
