content: From the guy on Reddit in r/Technology:  Except the nightmare is still unfolding. What was supposed to be a decentralized digital currency is now controlled by Core developers who are intentionally not allowing the block size limit to be raised.  Yeah, sorry, gotta call bullshit on this one. Its an open source project, anyone who makes a change and gets it adopted by people participating in the network can make it go "live". The real frustration is by those who would like to make unilateral changes, but the network itself has to vote by installing the software whose rules they agree with. Its definitely in the hands of "the people", but every skeptic makes it look like there's a handful running the show. They may be the most visible, but they're not changing anything without actual consensus.
