You’re missing the part where a highly centralized cabal of Core devs and their funders took over a formerly open source project, then proceeded to force through insane protocol changes despite 4:1 community opposition.
Is that the precedent you want set?
Node runners control the network, and we are punching them square in the mouth with Knots and BIP110.
I don’t see how the current college education racket can continue much longer… if I’m being optimistic it will be replaced by much cheaper competitor formats (like online degrees).
Value of degrees plummeting while prices are skyrocketing can’t go on.
