Ed Felten, Deputy US CTO on the blocksize debate...

[Pecuniology]

"I am also watching with interest the debate within the Bitcoin community about the block size limit. (To be clear, the government is paying attention to that debate but are not participating in it.) This is a challenge to Bitcoin’s governance model, because it requires the community to come to a consensus on an issue where there seem to be high stakes and plausible arguments on each side."

Peter Rizun, and everyone else working on Bitcoin Classic: no pressure, eh?

One positive development from this mess is that gvt everywhere must be asking themselves, "if we want to subvert this whole Bitcoin-thingy, who the heck do we call?"
