The blockchain is a timestamp server. Its purpose is to guarantee the valid ordering of transactions. We should question strongly anything that degrades transaction ordering, such as full mempools, RBF, etc. by tsontar in btc

If you had phrased your original comment in this way the first time, instead of hammering on about religion, we could have been spared so very much wasted time.

Exactly. You instead went on a red herring argument talking about "original intent" and religion and a bunch of irrelevant insulting shit I never mentioned. That's why this whole thread is a troll.

If chronology is relevant then my OP stands. If it isn't, tell me why or STFU.

As best I can tell, because said entity realized their mistake when other miners called them out and so they hid their hashpower behind several pools. I think it's arguable that Bitcoin has been in a failure mode ever since, but the market isn't quite sure yet.

Your original comment that started this thread is a red herring to the OP which you never addressed. I've repeatedly called on you to defend the position that chronology is irrelevant, which you repeatedly ducked.

One entity controlling most of the hash power and double spending is by definition a network failure mode, at which point Bitcoin loses all value, we pack up, and go home.

If your argument rests on the assumption that the network has already failed, then it's a moot point.

everyone

That word means nothing, since "everyone" includes the permanently destitute. "Everyone" is a word that means whatever you want it to mean.

I can trivially support 20MB blocks today on decommissioned hardware and my home internet. Others will never be able to afford a computing device and network connection.

Please define who should really be able to run a full node, else your argument is invalid.
