Decentralized money requires technical and arguably social consensus. People must agree, and when they don’t, a split happens. Splits allow for like minded individuals to go their own way. In August of 2017, a disagreement over how to scale Bitcoin led to Bitcoin Cash. Currency that relies on consensus is unique in its ability to be defined by those that use and contribute to it. It’s software – if you don’t like it, don’t use it, use something else, or change it. If enough people follow, maybe you can start the next Bitcoin.
