Allow me to simplify.

Don't fuck with my money.

This isn't an "experiment" anymore. The moment people incorporated it into their lives and DEPEND on it -- it ceases to be something that you can view as your personal petri dish.

Let me paint a theoretical picture for you:

You, enterprising software engineer have the itch to change Bitcoin. Maybe you do, through hook or crook, and the entire ecosystem falters.
Do you really want to be the idiot in the hotseat when millions of pissed off former Bitcoin holders come looking?
I'd think not.

Take this shit seriously, and don't propose changes just to soothe your ego. This is a real system that people depend on. We could give a shit about how clever you think you are.

Don't fuck with OUR money.

Got it?
