AKA a free market

What a novel idea 😂 Just trying to frame this debate about Ocean and mining in different ways. “Censorship” is clearly a bad word on a censorship-resistant protocol, so it behooves anyone who wants something allowed to cry censorship when things don’t go their way. But how loosely should the concept of “censorship” be defined here? There any several things bitcoin doesn’t allow. Is that then censorship as well? And if that’s how we want to define censorship, then isn’t bitcoin just a protocol of censorship of anything that isn’t accepted by the nodes?

Few understand.

Happily true
