That's the most feasible and easy route, the biggest threat to Bitcoin is mindless propoganda about Bitcoin development from people who have no clue how Bitcoin development actually works.
Discussion
There’s been quite a few discussions and a lengthy ama on stacker news discussing op return. If people don’t know how it works maybe try explain why their opposing ideas are flawed instead of just pretending like it’s all an attack. This doesn’t score any points.
I didn't say anything op_return. It's a bikeshedded conversation. It's not even that consequential as a code change itself.
But if such a dumb conversation have consequences enough to warrant a rollback, then it's a feasible attack vector for the future where said change is important.
I find it really sad that people resorted to calling community pushback an attack or attack vector. It’s like saying less conversation is better. Losing respect for a lot of people on here.
If a change is important and it warrants discussion I think we should have as much discussion as necessarily and not simply dismiss that as an attack vector.
But was important? Or was it politicized to sound important? It's a very common trick to politicize issues and forcing people to choose sides, after a while the conversation doesn't have anything about the initial issue at all.
I’m referring to your point about a future potentially important change.
I'm sure someone will find a way to politicize it, we'll be forced to choose sides, even though it might not have been necessary to do so. People love to be on one side or the other, doesn't matter what the nuances are.
