In bitcoin there are rules.
Outside of bitcoin there are no rules.
Discussion
We can see this with every debate over protocol development that rapidly delves into ugly mud-slinging....
Bitcoin "the protocol" is hard, anarcho-capitalist money. It is in many ways the most perfect and inviolable set of property rights that has ever been developed.
Bitcoin "the open source project", however, is basically anarcho-communist. It's a voluntary collective of workers with no defined rank or hierarchy w/r/t one another, whose only means of dispute resolution is to either discuss or leave. It's "from each according to their ability".
This conflict can lead to some interesting cognitive dissonance.
But Bitcoin is a permissionless network, HODL! How can there be rules in a permissionless network? 🤪
outside there are just rulers
