📝 Original message:>2) Changes to the consensus rules: As others have said, this isn't
anyone's decision for anyone else. It's up to each individual user as
to what code they run and what rules they enforce. So then why is
everyone so up in arms about what Mike and Gavin are proposing if
everyone is free to decide for themselves?
Because the notion that people are free to decide for themselves is just
a rough approximation of the real world situation. If your software
does not agree with merchants and exchanges you can't pay your bills and
if Bitcoin splits the exchange rate could plummet and damage the
ecosystem. People are free to decide within the constraints of the
Bitcoin system.
