👮‍♂️ Bitcoin Helps Fight Police Brutality
On June 6, 2012, Travis Kiger secured the recall of three Fullerton city council members and charges against two police officers who beat homeless man Kelly Thomas to death.
This story is interesting because #bitcoin played a significant role in Travis's fight against corruption and police brutality – the libertarian Republican's campaign was partially sponsored by bitcointalk forum members.
It is also interesting that Kiger saved the coins collected in spring 2012 to later sell them at the peak of the 2013 cycle.

🏙️ New York Disagreement Day
The Bitcoin scaling agreement, better known as the "New York Agreement", jointly proposed by over 50 companies at the Consensus 2017 conference, added fuel to the "block size war" in 2017.
The New York Agreement was intended to end the long-standing debate about #Bitcoin #scaling by increasing block capacity through the activation of Segregated Witness and doubling the block size (i.e., SegWit2X).
