What about immutability? All this years preaching the dogma and now let's use social consensus to decide what chain we like?

Radical immutability serves no purpose. Bitcoin is a tool made by humans to serve humans. If it stops being useless, we need to be able to change it (and we are - we can always move to an identical copy without e.g. a bug)

"Serves no purpose"?! WTF?! Good grief you are one of these vile creatures: https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/hello-kitty-people.html … You have outed yourself as an enemy of Bitcoin security. Blocked.

Nick, I'd urge you to reconsidering blocking Hasu. He's a potent and thoughtful Bitcoiner.

to the triggered people below: bitcoin will fail if it has no intellectual diversity. ideas need to be fought over in the market, not ignored and feared. luckily, the puritans have no control, and they're not persuasive.

I agree with the previous tweet but “bitcoin will fail if it has no intellectual diversity” isn’t very meaningful. Bitcoin doesn’t have intellect, it’s an asset class. Stakeholders will be diversified because.. why won’t they be? and the occasional block has nothing to do with it

I disagree; Bitcoin's future depends on a disparate community of people collectively expressing their values and making good decisions. The UASF was a decision; future decisions do/may include Schnorr, sighash_noinput, blocksize inc/dec, on-chain privacy improvements, etc.

To the extend that they are unable to engage w/ diverse ideas and challenge their assumptions, the likelihood of them making good decisions decreases

Diversity of ideas is important but it’s not the top priority on an individual’s plate, sometimes diversity takes a hit for some other value (like a false positive when blocking people to salvage one’s time), that’s balanced and normal

And it's not diversity, it's bog common error. I see "governance is good" on my tweet stream every day. Multitudes don't understand that the main value add of Bitcoin comes from using simple rules strongly enforced by security protocol to minimize vulnerability to governance.
