Wang Chun, co-founder of the crypto mining pool F2Pool, made statements drawing attention to the discussions surrounding Bitcoin protocol updates. Sharing an assessment via the X platform, Chun argued that changes to Bitcoin’s core protocol should not be advanced through “political compromises” or mandatory package deals. Chun stated that it would be wrong to apply the “package bill” approach, frequently seen in US politics where various provisions are added to a single legislative package, to the Bitcoin development process.
