The changes BSV makes to the protocol will inevitably centralize the protocol, and this is being touted as a feature, not a bug by the leaders.
Bitcoin is not and has never been about ‘censorship resistance’. I added the alert key to be able to freeze and reverse transactions, if needed. All that matters in Bitcoin is a public record of any transaction that is reversed.
That vision is NOT decentralized.
Period.
Well said. A blockchain whose eventual goal is to be measured in petabytes is inherently centralizing, as is one where transactions can be reversed by a single entity.
