#White House Crypto Report# Today we celebrate Bitcoin Independence Day.
On August 1, 2017, the known Block War came to an end, a conflict between two factions of the Bitcoin developer and user community over how to scale the network.
The debate revolved around whether the block size, originally set at 1 MB by Satoshi Nakamoto himself, should be increased.
One of the positions proposed to increase the size to process more transactions per block. However, this implied an exponential growth of the blockchain size, which could compromise its decentralization and make it difficult for more people to run full nodes.
The conflict culminated in a hard fork, which gave rise to Bitcoin Cash, while Bitcoin continued on its current path, implementing SegWit as a scalability solution without altering the base block size.
