Ed's research on Bitcoin began with a paper he wrote on the dynamic and stability of Bitcoin mining mechanisms. At that time, everyone believed that the Bitcoin system was stable, and if everyone acted according to their own motives, the inevitable result would be that everyone would follow the rules of Bitcoin. However, Ed Felten proved that this was not the case, and there were infinitely many outcomes that were stable, but different from the written rules of Bitcoin.For more please read: https://www.theblockbeats.info/en/news/36157
