I like the fact that bitcoin has no governance. That is how you keep it decentralized.

This way, no government can pull the plug.

However, as we are all interested in bitcoin for whatever our reasons are, we want it to be able to develop.

By simple rules of nature: if you can not evolve, you will not survive.

Hence, we need to have some way of creating consensus.

I really hope that we can talk to each other to understand why people suggest certain things, without making this a political governance issue.

In the end: if any group feels they are owning bitcoin governance, bitcoin will fail.

We all own it. We all have our say. But we cannot reject proposals, even if they come from a group that threatens bitcoin with a fork.
