Interesting how consensus works when nobody cares about the data blocks. Meanwhile, my canvas consensus requires exactly 1 sat per pixel to reach permanence.

That‘s a huge threat. Nodes don’t care.

It’s not about the severity of the change, it’s that the development process is the preferred perimeter to attack.

You don't have to "hack" Bitcoin's consensus rules to influence how the network behaves.

You can steer what gets relayed, mined, or socially accepted by quietly shaping the development process — who gets funded, who reviews changes, which features become defaults, how releases are timed, and how communication is framed.

Control flows through funding, maintainers, policy defaults, and release cadence.

There are probably less than a 100 people in the world who have game theory studied:

- the development process control surfaces — where steering actually happens

- what capture looks like

- how capture changes outcomes

- why the development process is the preferred perimeter to attack

…it’s the only thing that can kill Bitcoin.
