As the debate over Segregated Witness rages on, the bitcoin community is starting to lose sight of the digital currency’s original ideology—to become a decentralized money that will help everyone move out from the arms of the banks.
It’s time, however, to get back on track.
In a rare appearance at the recently held The Future of Bitcoin event in the Netherlands, Australian academic and inventor Dr. Craig Wright made a case for bitcoin scaling—and for the bitcoin community to finally start acting like one.
“We need to scale. We need real leadership,” Wright said. “There should be no king in bitcoin. There will be no king in bitcoin. We are a community, and it is time we start acting like one.”
