DECENTRALIZATION IS NOT “ANYTHING GOES” (shorter version)

My first note on this was too long, so here’s the core of what I was trying to say:

* Censorship resistance is not moral neutrality. No central authority controlling speech doesn’t mean everything said is wise, truthful, or good.

* Sovereignty works both ways. You are free to speak. Others are free to challenge you, mute you, distrust you, or refuse to associate with you.

* Freedom requires responsibility. Bitcoin has no central master, but it still has rules. Human freedom likewise doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

I’ll conclude with two principles:

Sovereignty: I own my choices.
Responsibility: I own their consequences.

Hope this is clearer.

Thanks!
