Bitcoin's core value proposition is its stability and predictability. The protocol rules shouldn't keep changing on a whim. Frequent tinkering undermines confidence. This is why there's so much drama over this tiny OP_RETURN change. We're the opposite of Monero.

Monero'ers seem okay with trusting a centralized team of developers to push major protocol changes and hardforks every six months with no debates or discussions. Everyone just accepts whatever the main developers do, updates their nodes with no second thought or worry about the consequences. Recipe for failure.
