policy exists not because they are less important than consensus, but because its more beneficial for them to be dynamic. because we dont wanna lock ourselves in.

and also i believe having more dynamic options between nodes keeps the protocol more decentralized.

if we suddenly have a ceo of bitcoin (core maintainer) changing what its, is it still bitcoin? you cant just change playing field and expect everything to keep working. if you change the multiplier of gravity you would break many things.

if you remove all of the policy, its not the same bitcoin anymore.

and tapscript didn't exist while satoshi was active.

also there was nothing stopping inscriptions from being existed before taproot, except the script size limit policy for witness. which was also removed for tabscript with the taproot fork. so policy has stopped exploits like these many times before. until its removed for another excuse.

because of policy vitalik left bitcoin and built the ethereum shitshow. let them build their own country, because they are not welcomed fucking with people's money.

bitcoin doesnt run on the ether, it runs on people's devices, that what makes it different and decentralized. and just like in any protocol you have to filter spam, exploits of protocol, and other attacks.

timechain is not a storage. it exists to prevent double spend. if we had another solution, it wouldn't have existed.
