Defenestrated.

This word details what is about to happen to those who sought to grab power and subvert the underlying nature of bitcoin.

Power is not balanced when a group can control the future of a system where others are directly and negatively impacted by the change.
People like to talk about how bitcoin is a decentralised system. The nodes are part of a distributed ledger. A distributed system is not the same as a decentralised system. In bitcoin, the nodes do not vote on the protocol.
3.
Rather, they enforce. Those who enforce rules don’t set them in a balanced society or system. Where those who can enforce rules also set the rules, the result is always corruption.
4.
Moreover, it is important that a protocol is fixed so that no individual can change the protocol in a manner that negatively impacts others. In any protocol change, there will always be winners and losers. Those who are associated with the in group will benefit.
5.
Those who are associated with ideas that are less popular according to the ruling cadre (Core Developers) will find themselves isolated.
6.
More importantly, long-term development and hence innovation requires something stable. In the early days of networking, Novell changed the protocol on an annual basis. Conversely, TCP has remained the same on the Internet for over forty years.
7.
Innovation occurs when there is stability and order, not chaos and anarchy. Through history, we have found that innovation has occurred where there is a stable foundation to build upon. In this, we see a world that enables long-term planning.
8.
If an organisation cannot plan for five years or even a decade, the level of innovation will be minimal. Rather than the promise of flying cars we have silicon valley's reinterpretation of innovation. That is, a system that is static but equally increasingly captivating.
9.
There was innovation in the Brave New World of dystopian pleasure predicated by Aldous Huxley.

To this I also recommend reading a peace that is little known today (Huxley, 1923).

Huxley, A. (1923). Pleasures. Vanity Fair, May. archive.vanityfair.com/article/1923/5…
10.
Creativity and innovation require a foundation that is stable enough to support growth and innovation. With bitcoin (note #BSV as #BTC is passing off) a transaction created today is guaranteed to run in the year 2040 and beyond. That is stability.
11.
And through that stability, others can achieve much more including building processes that are based on innovation, creativity and a desire to implement a system that delivers value to many people.

The purpose of bitcoin is not decentralisation. Rather, decentralisation is merely one part of the design of the system to deliver digital cash.
The issue before bitcoin was never one of decentralisation for decentralisation sake; it was solving the method of having small casual payments. That is digital payments under one US dollar and preferably under one US cent.
The ongoing arguments about decentralisation are all red herring arguments. They are logically flawed. The first premise of a digital cash system is whether it acts like digital cash. To do this, the cost of any transaction cannot be more than a tenth of a cent.

The social media trolls will attack me. The reason for this is that they cannot attack my arguments. We still have a series of institutions that are purely based upon logical arguments and fact (truth). These are common law courts.
Luckily, the power of individuals like Facebook and Twitter in court is diminished. They don’t realise this yet, but in taking me want in court they will not only conclusively prove that I am the creator of bitcoin.
They will prove how asinine their concepts and understanding of bitcoin really is. They will demonstrate how BTC is not bitcoin and is passing off as my creation.

One of the primary problems with social media, including Twitter and Facebook, is that they create a space that allows individuals and trolls to think that because they are anonymous.
Or at least they believe that they are anonymous to attack people in a way that they would never do either in a face-to-face meeting or in a public space.
This is not a new problem and has even been addressed philosophically by Plato. In the Ring of Gyges, we see the effects of what happens when a person gains the power to remain anonymous.

Digital cash systems have been falsely misrepresented as being a cyberpunk/anarchist creation that is outside of the reach of government and was designed as an alternative that could not be controlled.
Systems such as Bitcoin are more easily regulated and controlled than any prior monetary system. Existing regulation within the United States and Europe allow for the control and regulation of digital currencies as digital cash systems.
Know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are sufficiently powerful to be able to ensure that the United States and Europe can control monetary transactions within its borders even with the rise of digital currency systems such as bitcoin.

Dal Pont recognises three possible categories of agents (G E Dal Pont, Law of Agency (Butterworths, 2001) [1.2]):
(a) those that can create legal relations on behalf of a principal with a third party;
(b) those that can affect legal relations on behalf of a principal with a third party;
(c) a person who has authority to act on behalf of a principal.
Agency applies to open source development groups just as it applies to corporations.

Bitcoin was designed to scale across a small number of server farms. Right now, there are four BTC nodes controlling the network.
As Mike Hearn noted, I had said that Bitcoin would scale right from the beginning: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…
“Visa processed 37 billion transactions in FY2008, or an average of 100 million transactions per day. That many transactions would take 100GB of bandwidth, or the size of 12 DVD or 2 HD quality movies, or about $18 worth of bandwidth at current prices.”
