Hijacking Bitcoin

Hijacking Bitcoin — by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson: a critical or dissenting view of Bitcoin, crypto markets and their institutions.

Hijacking Bitcoin is a specific Books coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: Hijacking Bitcoin — by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson: a critical or dissenting view of Bitcoin, crypto markets and their institutions. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.

Written by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson and first published in 2024.

Use this book as a route into a critical or dissenting view of Bitcoin, crypto markets and their institutions. Its Atlas links connect the reading to the people, mechanisms and events it discusses.

Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson presents a partisan history of Bitcoin's scaling conflict, Bitcoin Cash and disputes over fees, blocks and institutional influence. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.

The practical limit is: the book's framing and attribution are contested and must not replace primary mailing lists, code, BIPs and contemporaneous records; advocacy for a fork is not proof that its account is neutral. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.

For the clearest picture, read this entry together with Lightning Network, SegWit, Roger Ver, Bitcoin.
