 Oh, a completely new rabbit hole then… he was called Bitcoin Jesus in the early days and was in the bigger blocks side in the blocksize war. Big advocate for Bitcoin Cash.

 Ok I've heard that moniker before. I never really spent time on all the history to be honest. I just was more interested in how it actually works before I jumped in. I honestly dont even understand what the block wars was all about or the pro/cons of each side. Was before my time in so never really thought it something that mattered to me. Cant change the past, so F it ya know😁

 It’s important to know what happened during the blocksize wars in case we’re ever in a contested fork situation again. It also shows the resilience that bitcoin has even if faced with an existential risk that a large part of the community embraces. Worth familiarizing yourself for sure.
