Hard Forks vs. Soft Forks

Vitalik advocates for hard forks as a more transparent means of governance in blockchain, emphasizing that they force users to make clear decisions rather than sneaking in changes. He draws parallels between blockchain splits and political disagreements, suggesting that the costs of separation are lower in the crypto space. Reflecting on the block size wars, he expresses disappointment in the outcomes, noting that opposition groups often struggle with political capacity and policy formulation.
