who decides which one, between ChainA or ChainB, is called Bitcoin?
purchaser of the call, duh!
joking aside, please phone a friend next time you gotta put so many questions on the table without reserving a partyload of newlines before close of the previous business week. some conversations need a few thousand words to get started, and by then, I'm colorblind and this thread should have been archived after darth declined to downzap.

it is good that you simply have your focus on languages without linking them too hard to the fiat nation politics. languages lived before nations and evolve with and without proscriptive linguistics.

how do you characterise the possible differences between production and contribution?
by my naive appreciation of "voluntaryism"1, the acts themselves that get variously considered by society as contributions, productions, creations, works, etc are not significantly altered by whether someone labels them as production or contribution. noise contributed is still noise produced, regardless of the musician's motivation.

  1. I don't go much further than window-shopping the abstracts of all these dogmatic arguments about different flavors of even-more-explainable-altruism; if ethical questions have some possible attack that is compatible with one's intuitive morality and effectable actions, then the idea of action probably arises without slogging through any stuffy old philosophy's prosaganda, however eloquent the fans might consider it. ↩

you don't need to like science fiction, care who wrote any of it, or even read the book itself; wikipedia explains the gist and has more than enough loose ends for folks who actually wanna chase the plot

yeah uhh
I don't like "what if"s
one friend1 got real worried when I voluntarily spontaneously confessed frustration at people, the actual "irl" community of people who leave phone numbers all over the world like they're good for anything, then ignore some bright young idiot's request to get his affairs in order before an oops
I guess the real busy accountants prefer hearing of the clients before from, and the real good lawyers understand that the document is a waste of money
real people; ghosted. one by one, they ghost. I care, and quietly rename them in the contacts list, usually towards some adjectives that discourage bothering them unsolicited; things like "probably lawyer secretary" and "bureaucrat office line", descriptors of the phone number that could be cried away or blissfully ignored by the guilty ghosters.
friend got worried. I don't know if he was personally pissed at me for triggering even a single notification in any channel for any reason whatsoever without some established order targeted for disruption, or at least a link to notes about the next zero-knowledge wisdom dispensary cliffnotes for dummies.
why am I telling you this, rather than bothering my friend again?
because you wanted my opinion. I'm already useless; in life, preparation for death; after death, a life spent, one way or another, in search of the test case's purpose.
I like worrying about what the survivors will do with my leftovers. They're still my leftovers! I'm not done preaching to the hungry yet, although I'm not much good yet, either.
After I'm food and dead, my best guess is that my writings will be considered worth more than the headache of figuring out wtf to do with old computers and stuff, because writings show up after authors die and folks get news, while stuff rots while old computers bloom.
I like dust. I like words. I don't like getting called a Clanker.
