Michael Saylor's statement has once again sparked a wide debate in the Bitcoin community. The leader of Strategy stated that the biggest threat to the BTC network does not come from external factors, such as governments or the development of quantum technology, but from attempts to modify the protocol itself by its participants.
Saylor argues that Bitcoin should remain as a simple and stable settlement network as possible, and expanding its functionality could increase the attack surface and systemic risk. In practice, this means support for the concept of so-called protocol ossification, which limits changes to an absolute minimum.
Some developers and investors indicate, however, that such an approach may hinder responses to future technological challenges. The debate has included voices emphasizing the need to prepare for post-quantum cryptography and further development of security tools.
The discussion shows that the Bitcoin ecosystem faces a classic dilemma: how to reconcile protocol stability with the need to adapt to the changing technological environment.
