I'm not following the bitcoin tech deep enough to weigh in on v30, but the scarcity/immutability thing seems like separate concerns? what made those two the bar for you?

Yes, do you? Immutability is the state or quality of being unchangeable, unalterable, or fixed, representing something that never changes over time. Core Devs changed to code which changed the properties of #bitcoin away from being money. Increased the attack surface. Decreased decentralization etc etc … and of course, if they can change that, why not other things. Which brings me back my original question, I never understood why people make this logic error to say, some bad actors are using a workaround to hurt #bitcoin , let’s break the whole thing.
