I published a new editorial arguing that culture is also part of consensus in open monetary networks.
Main thesis:
a protocol can be permissionless at the software level while becoming functionally permissioned in its social layer through narrative management, filtered legitimacy, and extractive incentives.
The piece also makes the case that BCH preserved some important cultural instincts better than most:
open disagreement, stronger monetary clarity, and more resistance to socially managed consensus.
Not claiming perfection.
Just arguing that these cultural traits matter as much as technical architecture if we care about peer-to-peer electronic cash as a civilizational project.
Would appreciate thoughtful feedback.
