#比特币网络升级 Recently studying the Bitcoin network upgrade, I came across a statement by Michael Saylor that felt quite enlightening 🤔



He means that Bitcoin upgrades cannot be changed arbitrarily; they must have the consensus of 8 billion people worldwide, especially considering changes only when quantum computing truly poses a threat. At first glance, it sounds a bit conservative, but upon reflection... does it actually make sense?

Since I just entered the crypto space and am not very familiar with protocol layer details, a metaphor suddenly helped me understand: giving a group of super-strong developers unlimited funds to "improve" Bitcoin might actually destroy it. It's like frequently renovating a house—eventually, you might end up damaging it...

This made me think of a question: are many newcomers (including myself) under the impression that more features and faster upgrades are better and cooler? But Bitcoin's core competitiveness actually lies in stability and consensus. Lack of rapid iteration might be its advantage—I've never really thought about it from this perspective 😅

What does everyone think about this view? Do you lean towards conservative upgrades, or do you think it should be more aggressive? Looking forward to your insights, everyone.
