Bitcoin recently experienced a small blockchain reorganization.
Two mining pools, Antpool and Spiderpool, produced valid blocks at the same height. The network eventually followed Antpool’s block, leaving Spiderpool’s block behind.
This was a one block reorg, which can happen when miners find blocks almost simultaneously.
It is generally not a major concern, but deeper reorgs can create serious security risks.
