From Self Custody to Shareholders | Bitcoin Asia 2026

"It turns out that miners aren't in charge of Bitcoin." David Bailey's read on the BIP 110 episode is one of the sharpest takes yet on how Bitcoin governance actually works and who really holds the power. In conversation with Stephan Livera in Hong Kong, the Nakamoto Inc. CEO explains why economic nodes are stakeholders that can't be circumvented, why the loudest voices don't decide consensus, and why the community needs practice on a low-stakes soft fork before quantum forces a decision.
