Part 11/13:
The discussion touches on the technical difficulties of scaling Bitcoin through soft and hard forks. Ethereum’s experience with a contentious hard fork serves as a warning: such actions can create persistent split chains and community disagreements. Bitcoin’s challenge is to find scalable solutions—either through soft forks or alternative mechanisms—without creating fissures that undermine trust.
