@moel For what it is worth, I think that this is an incredibly deep topic and worthy of discussion. We can leave the war analogy out of it, but ultimately what you are (I believe) pointing out is that there could be a valuable signal which the bitcoin community can send. It might be faint at first, but it would be a start.

Time-locked utxos (or the more esoteric, work-locked¹ utxos) might be an additional way to measure bitcoin's commitment to its own future.
