It's been quite impressive to see so many Bitcoin users and developers
saying, "Bitcoin is totally decentralised because it's open source and
nobody is in charge...... oh nooooooo we didn't mean you could change *those
lines! *If you want to change *those lines* then *we* must agree first!"
Believing simultaneously that:
1. Bitcoin is decentralised
2. Nobody should modify the code in certain ways without the agreement of
me and my buddies
is just doublethink.
