Now that a BIP300 hard fork is launching, it seems even less likely that Bitcoin will adopt the tech before the miners start starving&#xA;– Bitcoin maximalists being the smartest people in the room. They’re not anymore, it’s been a decade since this was the case. &#xA;&#xA;What else was I right/wrong about?</html></oembed>
