Really...
“Security and governance.”
For fuck’s sake, no.
You do not secure a protocol by turning it into a committee meeting with hash power somewhere in the footnotes and social politics in the chair. Nobody “evolves” the Internet Protocol every time a gaggle of self-appointed priests decides the congregation is restless. You scale it. You build on it. You use it. You do not drag the protocol into the alley every few years and beat it into a new shape while calling the bruises progress.
That is not permissionless. That is permission dressed in thrift-store libertarian drag.
Permissionless means people build. They transact. They compete. They create. They do not wait for a little club of buddy developers, forum moderators, conference pets, and internet hall monitors to decide what is acceptable this season.
The whole thing is deranged. They spend years telling people what they can and cannot do, which use cases are “spam,” which transactions are “allowed,” which applications are ideologically impure, and then, with the hide of a rhinoceros and the manners of a damp pamphlet, they call it permissionless.
No. That is governance. That is control. That is a committee with better branding and worse hygiene.
Bitcoin was not designed to be steered by squabbles, vibes, and developer priestcraft. It was designed to scale, to process transactions, and to let people do their own thing.
Everything else is tripe.
