In response to the Shinobi episode on WBD:
If one of Shinobi's main points was that no one controls Bitcoin, and that you don't get to decide Bitcoin's culture, then doesn't that also go towards the developers (and that this OP_RETURN PR is an example of very few people controlling Bitcoin)?
And if you accept that no one controls Bitcoin, that it is an organic process of individuals taking action that in aggregate make up the rules, then isn't also BitcoinMechanic part of this organic process?
I think one of BM's points is that Bitcoin is inherently political at the end of the day.
And that political process isn't "just what it is".
It is whatever people in the Bitcoin culture fight for it to be. And that seems to be what he's doing.
