#[2] Bitcoin can change, and it's still Bitcoin. I'm not as good with words as Jameson.
I'm pushing back against the argument that we should accept that the Bitcoin protocol is ossified in its current state. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/03/18/should-we-be-worried-about-bitcoin-ossification/

Never said it couldn’t. Bitcoin has changed many times already.
We were talking about monetary policy, and I said it was very important that it never changes. Once changed, who’s to say it can’t change again?
Yeah. Anything can be changed. Perhaps that's the argument for ossification. If the monetary policy was inflationary, I'd certainly be barking for change.
However, I can see how admitting that the monetary policy is up for debate, which it really isn't from a cultural standpoint, would be proplematic.
