If that’s what you took away from my post, I must have done a poor job with it.
Firstly emergent consensus is a big part of decentralized systems. Core providers convening on a decision and supporting it is perfectly healthy. That’s quite different than a CEO saying things will be X way and everyone just having to accept it.
Additionally, my point is that people WILL likely try to have a contentious chain (as is their right in a decentralized project), but due to the maturity of Ethereum the technical consequences are much more impactful than the BTC/BCH scenario.
Appreciate your thoughtful reply here. I can tell you're excited about emergent consensus. So am I! Is there a DAO or L2 project you're particularly excited for here?
