  • Bitcoin was not «captured» by anyone. The community agreed on not increasing the block size (actually on a slight one-time optimized increase with segwit). Although their use is marginal, there are several Bitcoin-core alternatives (functional node implementations). Both node admins and miners always had a choice. The Bitcoin brand is what the majority of people consider it to be.

    Roger Ver is just upsed and can’t admit being wrong. Bitcoin’s most important feature is decentralization. Without it, it becomes censorable and «permissionfull», just like CBDCs.

    Note: I did not (yet?) read the book.
