Thanks! What you're saying about the node relay policy makes sense ... that node operators choose the preferred way forward and see which version prevails. That is indeed not coercion, no. And here again I'd wish that people choose freedom. Some may prefer the runes, token path, maybe because they think there's a chance to solve the privacy issue. I'll follow the debate. You are also right, I don't run a node yet. But I'll soon go about this seriously and will have a closer look at that BIP-110 discussion then. As to the "ought-to" and "should", as a former environmental lawyer myself and from the experience I gathered, I would like us to be able to live with as little regulation as possible, by educating ourselves to understand freedom at its core ... that means beyond mind and matter. The more we got that down, the less regulation we will need. So, I don't say lockpicking should be permitted. But if we don't understand freedom and hence don't live in abundance, locks will be picked because it's possible. Inner work + education (root) over laws and regulation (surface) is what I'm saying.
