So, when you say "the original protocol", does that mean just like it was during the first couple of years? No SegWit, no RBF, and 1MB blocks? Or have there been some changes? It's interesting to see this tug of war for the Bitcoin name.

My understanding is that as a protocol the same interfaces that were there originally as well as the blocks are constructed the same. Sure there are code updates but the way the blocks are constructed and the way you query it remains the original.

In addition over time the code gets updated but the way you build on it will not change. Like building on TCP you wouldn't want the protocol to change.
Oh, OK, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!
