Bitcoin Core Just Keeps Lying (UTXO Set Bloat)
Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/join
In this video, I discuss the dangers of Bitcoin UTXO set bloat, and Greg Maxwell's surprising flip-flop when it comes to this issue.
We can see from this how Bitcoin Core devs are willing to use any narrative to justify themselves, and then dump that narrative when it no longer serves to protect their institutional power structure.
