This is good. See, this is what I want to hear. I don't want there to actually be any problems I the future from this.
Of course, I am overgeneralizing. Also, progressive Bitcoiners seem completely fine not changing Bitcoin. (However, in the case that fiat and Bitcoin don't coexist, would they choose to...
A) live in a world without welfare, social programs, food stamps, etc.
B) (try to) change Bitcoin.
It's a hard choice for them to make.)
What I am afraid of is that Bitcoin attracted a pretty darn politically non-conventional group of people as it's first 1% of adopters. With the next 5% still with relatively strong correlations towards anti-tax tendencies.
These attitudes have been here so far.
Bitcoin has worked great so far.
If those attitudes aren't there any more,
Does Bitcoin not work great any more?
Of course, we can only speculate, but a funny thing that just popped into my head, is, in the event of a fork, are these "pro-tax bitcoiners" even running nodes, lol? Maybe not, if they are culturally apart from mainstream Bitcoin culture.
