Watch how the debate on Bitcoin's scaling issues and Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin turned into a tension-filled exchange between Bitcoin.com's Roger Ver shut down Blockstream's Samson Mow.

“I think the scaling that works is to take an engineering standpoint to look at the code and to follow consensus rules and build layer 2 solutions,” Mow said. “I think scaling Bitcoin, we have to take into consideration the computer science aspect of it. We can’t just make things up. We actually have to look at the code and we have to follow the consensus rule, so if you look at what Bitcoin Core has been doing, is they’ve been scaling all along so that everything is backwards compatible.”

“Bitcoin Core is having negative merchant adoption around the world. Bitcoin Cash is having positive merchant adoption around the world,” Ver said.“So even if Samson and Blockstream and Bitcoin Core supporters have the absolute best intentions in their heart, we have the empirical evidence to show that the effects were negative and incredibly damaging to Bitcoin. Let’s judge things by their effect and their results, not the intent of the people that were putting it together.”
