I repeat: I'd like an example of a centrally planned production quota winning out in efficiency over a free-market supply-and-demand model.
Where do you see centrally planned production quota? Core devs are part of the free-market supply-and-demand model. So is ''classic' and 'XT' forks. But they lost the competition with superior Core vision.
Hmm... Might be wrong but btc in itself is a perfect example of centrally planned production no?
