              >Analyzing Bitcoin Consensus: Risks in Protocol Upgrades
            </a>
            - This paper provides an analysis of bitcoin's consensus mechanism,
            focusing on the roles of various stakeholders, their powers, and the
            incentives that guide their actions. Bitcoin is incredibly difficult
            to change by design. The default is no change. Any significant
            change needs to pass that hurdle. We categorize the roles people
            play in bitcoin's consensus into six distinct stakeholder groups,
            each with their own motivations and influence. We also notice that
            the relative powers of the stakeholders shift depending on their
            role in the network's operation and the stage of the consensus
            change process. Notably, while Bitcoin Core maintainers do not have
            excessive power to change Bitcoin, they possess significant power to
            veto changes. We also introduce the concept of State of Mind, which
            affects the degree that stakeholders engage in the process of
            finding consensus.
