As a casual observer outside the cryptocurrency community, this whole thing seems quite surreal to me. Is it really necessary to have a religious war and a hard fork that divides the community whenever they need to make any sort of change? This sort of internal fighting really weakens the credibility of cryptocurrencies as a whole.

Given the current era of hardline identity politics I'm surprised it hasn't amplified though.
