R to @daily_btc_lore: 2/11 - Gavin Andresen's position in Bitcoin was unique. Satoshi personally handed him stewardship before disappearing in 2010, making him the first person outside Satoshi with commit access to Bitcoin's codebase. His word carried more weight than any other developer's.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 3/11 - By mid-2015, Bitcoin blocks were regularly hitting the 1MB limit. TradeBlock estimated blocks were reaching capacity at least four times daily. Fees were climbing. Andresen had been arguing publicly for months that the limit needed to go. On June 22, he formalized it.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 4/11 - BIP 101 proposed replacing the fixed 1MB limit with one that grew mathematically: start at 8MB in January 2016, then double every two years for twenty years, reaching 8,192MB by 2036. The schedule was modeled on long-term trends in CPU power, storage, and bandwidth.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 5/11 - The initial proposal called for 20MB, not 8MB. Andresen reduced it after consulting Chinese mining pools about bandwidth constraints behind the Great Firewall. He was building consensus with miners rather than with the developers who maintained Bitcoin Core.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 6/11 - Bitcoin Core developers were unmoved. A note on the GitHub pull request stated there was 'a near zero chance of this getting merged.' The two camps were talking past each other: one side saw a technical emergency, the other a change too risky and irreversible to rush.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 7/11 - Rather than wait for a consensus that wasn't coming, Andresen and Mike Hearn implemented BIP 101 in Bitcoin XT, a fork of Bitcoin Core, live August 15, 2015. The activation condition: 75% of the last 1,000 mined blocks must signal support. That threshold was never reached.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 8/11 - What followed was two years of conflict. Bitcoin Classic. Bitcoin Unlimited. SegWit2x. One by one, proposals to raise the block size either failed to activate or collapsed before launch. Each attempt deepened the fracture. The debate never resolved, it just changed form.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 9/11 - The one attempt that produced a permanent split was Bitcoin Cash in August 2017. A portion of the community that had been arguing for larger blocks since 2015 forked away rather than accept SegWit. They took BIP 101's core argument with them.
