7 years ago today, the Bitcoin community activated Segwit, despite Bitcoin Core refusing to allow anyone other than miners to decide.
Today, we have a similar situation with updating spam filters. And sadly, the community has been largely too complacent - or brainwashed - to act.
Bitcoin isn't about blindly trusting a centralised maintainer team - we already had that with fiat. Decentralisation needs activist users, who make their own decisions.
