well also i was kinda didnt understand bitcoin fundamentally as a culture before matthew.
changed my view of bitcoin in that way. same for mechanic.

like ok 21M is good, but how do we enforce it? decentralization
what makes bitcoin decentralized, people not trusting someone, but only trusting their own node.
so running your own node is import, verifying, how can we maximize it? because it seems like bitcoin without that and mining pool cartel is nothing but CBDC with extra steps. they can enforce any softfork they want including tail emission via utxo age tax.

etc. i used to think "i dont have to run a node, others are running it." etc.

i think most important question is how do you stop an unwanted MASF?
because you cant. on the suitcoin chain. history says hashrate decides it.

etc.

so i think XBT experiment worth it.

It's important to be very pragmatic about exactly how much power running a node actually gives you. So you don't have to trust anybody else to tell you what the change state is. Okay, that's great But can you prevent the rest of the network from forking off and doing tail emission or whatever? No,...
