the community *is the system
Discussion
there is no community
there are a bunch of sub communities that all rely on bitcoin and dont trust each other
fair enough
lets change community to "operating environment" or "context"
the system is not separate from the environment it functions within.
as you say
not homogeneous.
but if the larger context ("community") decides crypto dickbutts for fiat is more economically valuable than censorship resistant transactions you get a different result than vice versa
which is why its important to keep the Overton window squarely over the cypherpunk ethos
I think this every time I hear “the bitcoin community”
