00:00Bitcoin isn't just money, it's more like a living constitution.
00:03Every upgrade feels like an amendment, every fork like a civil war,
00:06and every node operator like a citizen defending the charter.
00:09Today, we'll explore Bitcoin's biggest upgrades through the lands of the United States of Bitcoin metaphor.
00:14Let's dive in.
00:16Think of Bitcoin's consensus rules as its constitution.
00:19They defined a law of the land, 21 million supply, proof of work, block size, and more.
00:24But just like a country, Bitcoin has amendments.
00:26And every amendment is a battle of ideas, coordination, and power.
00:30In 2017, Bitcoin faced its greatest internal conflict, the block size war.
00:35Segregated witness, or Segwit, was proposed to fix transaction malability and boost capacity.
00:40But not everyone agreed.
00:41Miners resisted, users revolted, and for the first time,
00:44citizens of the node operators have stood the ground with a user-activated soft fork.
00:48The result?
00:50Segwit was enforced, but a new nation, Bitcoin Cash, seceded.
00:53This was Bitcoin's civil war.
00:55Fast forward to 2021.
00:57Taproot brought Schnorr signatures and smart contract improvements.
01:01This time, there was no civil war.
01:03Consensus came smoothly, almost like a bipartisan vote.
01:06Bitcoin showed it had matured amendments could pass without bloodshed.
01:09Before Segwit and Taproot's smaller amendments quietly shaped Bitcoin's future.
01:13Checklock time verify and checksecrets verify allowed time locks and relative locks are the foundation for the Lightning Network.
01:19Like I was in a young nation, these rules connected states an open path for innovation.
01:24Back in 2012, pay-to-script hash gave Bitcoin more flexibility.
01:28Complex spending rules could be hidden behind simple addresses.
01:31It was a quiet but powerful change, like writing a clause in the constitution that future generations would use for everything from multisig to escrow.
01:37Every upgrade, every debate, every fork at all reinforces one thing.
01:42Bitcoin's governance isn't controlled by politicians or corporations.
01:45It's driven by voluntary consensus, by citizens running nodes, and by a culture that values low, deliberate change over rash decisions.
01:52The United States of Bitcoin may not have a Supreme Court, but its constitution is enforced by everyone who chooses to participate.
01:58The United States of Bitcoin is a very popular and the United States of Bitcoin is a very popular and the United States of Bitcoin.
