Reminds me of a "bitcoin" marketer a couple of years ago that was introduced to me. He sold himself like he was the ultimate genius when it comes to marketing to bitcoiners (showed some youtube channel numbers as proof of his skill) and offered his services to increase ticket sales for a bitcoin conference I was organizing.
Unfortunately he insisted that I pay upfront and his compensation not be based on performance i.e. ticket sales, so unfortunately I never got to test his talent 🥲

https://pretyflaco.github.io/bitcoingovernance/
🧵 I published my perspective on Bitcoin governance.
Where does Bitcoin derive its censorship-resistance from? And how do we preserve it?
Sharing some frameworks I've found helpful 👇
The main insight: Bitcoin's unique value comes from censorship-resistance, and the two magic ingredients to achieve it are:
✅ Free users
✅ Free software
-> Censorship-resistance requires free users
-> Free users require free software
Traditional governance asks "who decides?"
These systems are easy to co-opt and can therefore never preserve censorship-resistance.
Bitcoin governance asks "how do we preserve free users?", and this is they key to preserving censorship-resistance.
For developers, this means:
-> Optimize for user agency
-> Default to user choice over "optimal" outcomes
Remember: we're building infrastructure for freedom.
These are just my current thoughts - governance philosophy evolves with experience - but it's clear to me that censorship-resistance is a derivative of free users.
There is a leap of faith required in bitcoin’s governance model.
We must trust that when users are given genuine freedom and access to good information, they will make choices that preserve what makes bitcoin valuable.
Users who want bitcoin to remain censorship-resistant will choose software and rules that maintain that property.
Users who prefer other properties may make different choices, but the network’s evolution will reflect the aggregate of all these individual decisions.
When we take the leap and trust that free users will make the right choices, Bitcoin succeeds.
I would love to hear perspectives from builders, users, and researchers working on or thinking about these problems.
