Well written

The article seems generally well written. There were some parts that stood out as in need of basic copyediting, which I duly did. There was also a MOS:ORDER issue with the portal bar, which I have also fixed. However, there is a MOS:FIRST issue. The sentence says "is a consequence of". It should probably describe the issue, not what causes it. That could be moved to the second sentence.

Verifiable

Sourcing seems good. It's at 14% WP:COPYVIO, so it seems unlikely to be (although there are a few phrases from sources verbatim, they're short).

Broad

The article appears to be broad in its coverage. The fork section, however, is virtually the entire content of the main article: fork (blockchain). This needs reworking - mention it as a general concept, as it is only really explanatory content.

Neutral

The article seems to be in line with WP:NPOV. There have been issues raised on the talk page about the title being a WP:NPOV, with a strong consensus to keep the title. Per discussion on the talk pages, there seems to be a lot of debate within the bitcoin community about whether to solve the issue. I am convinced (with the consensus line) that there is very little debate about whether a problem exists. As such, the title is appropriate, and the article covers different approaches to the problem.

Stable

There does not seem to be an issue with edit warring.

Illustrated

There is an image on the article, I'd say that this guideline largely doesn't apply here. However, I think it might be possible to include a pictorial representation of forking.
