Pierre Rochard (co-founder Nakamoto Institute, co-host Noded podcast) and I talk through Bitcoin’s Decentralised Governance. This is the process by which Bitcoin’s rules are decided, implemented, and enforced without having a central authority. Bitcoin’s governance matters because Bitcoin is the first successful, most liquid, and most widely known crypto-currency.
Some topics covered:
- The different parties involved in Bitcoin Governance
- Network Governance, rather than Miner Democracy or Dictatorship
- Bitcoin has no central authority
- Process of Research, Proposal, Implementation, Deployment, Enforcement
- Schelling Points
