Bitcoin Core Strategy Sparks Controversy in Community
Bitcoin Core’s new strategy—enabling full Replace-by-Fee (RBF) by default—has sparked controversy in the community. Supporters say it improves transaction flexibility and fee management. Critics argue it undermines zero-confirmation transactions, making double-spends easier and threatening merchant trust.
Other tensions include debates over block size, NFT-like ordinals clogging the chain, and concerns about centralized developer control, especially with influence from corporate sponsors like Blockstream.
Overall, the controversy reflects deeper divides over Bitcoin’s future: digital gold vs. peer-to-peer cash, and decentralization vs. developer dominance.
