When it is&#xA;&gt; controversial, it is obvious and plain to see.&#xA;&#xA;I think its plain to see the soft fork is controversial.&#xA;&#xA;But that’s not the point.&#xA;&#xA;The point is that Bitcoin Core claims to have a consensus mechanism and sticks &#xA;to &#34;no change&#34; on not reaching a consensus. And that rule is the reason why &#xA;bigger blocks were blocked for years.&#xA;&#xA;History has shown that for many decision making processes this doesn&#39;t work, &#xA;and this argument has been made to Core. &#xA;Until today this was essentially a rule that hurt the things that Mike was &#xA;really passionate about.&#xA;Today this hurts the things that some other devs are passionate about.&#xA;&#xA;I think today is the day that everyone should agree that the past is the past &#xA;and we all learned our lesson and Bitcoin Core will make decisions a different &#xA;way.</html></oembed>
