content: That's kinda the point. bitcoin's protocol is a static agreement, however Hearn says if the current protocol is not changed, it won't be able to cope with it's own growth therefore it needs to be changed. Unfortunately getting everyone to agree on the change isn't working so they tried to get the miners to adopt a new protocol by hard fork, but that didn't work either so basically in his point of view the whole thing is fucked. If anything there needs to be more versions of the protocol for miners to choose from and they should be choosing between them fluidly and deciding which version is best for them, but they're not, they're all blindly following bitcoin core despite the devs of bitcoin core not having the balls to change anything.
