Issues stack little by little. The rot is long and almost unnoticeable until it’s too late. First was the unintended consequences of SegWit and Taproot. The exploits were left to be exploited although fixes were available. The UTXO set exploded. Spam became normalised. Controversial changes were announced, the pushback was ignored. Heavy handed top-down approach is being pushed aggressively. Risks are being ignored, criticism is waved off as being not technical and ignorant. Failing to see the political creep and dismissing it as unimportant is how frogs are being boiled. Don’t be the frogs.
