You don't like the government, you're free to go
Come on, man. Seriously, that is your counter argument?

Here are a few reasons why you are not as free to go as you are in Bitcoin:

- You have a family. Opting out of the Bitcoin network can be done without even your family noticing a difference.
- You have a job. Opting out of the Bitcoin network does not mean you need to find a job outside your country.
- You don't have enough money to migrate. I don't think there is anything needed to be said here.
- Legal barriers like visa etc.

These are just from the top of my head. You can't really compare me the completely straightforward and feasible option of re-installing a client with other rules, with leaving the borders of your country. It's apples and oranges.

And no it's not superior because in a normal country you can elect  the government every 4 years, good luck trying to that with Foundry or Mara and the lead developers, put it simply in Bitcoin you have the freedom of packing your bags and go away if you don't want to obey the rules but no chance of you and your finds even with a majority managing to change them
What's the problem with migrating to Bitcoin Cash? Or Litecoin? Or Monero? The only obstacle, as I perceive it, is the limited number of merchants accepting them.
