I think culture warrants thinking about. Wrt btc specifically, there's a smallish number of actors who create the entire ecosystem that is btc. If you make that ecosystem a horrible place to be, where people are afraid to voice opinions, fear litigation for doing work, and get harassed all the time, you reap the fruits of that.
Btc is not such a force of nature -- certainly not in this phase of its lifecycle -- when being filled with assholes and bad actors and parrots and sycophants and grifters of various stripes won't influence what happens for the worse.
There is obviously not a Ministry of Culture or anything overseeing all this, but there are smaller cultures, like SN, and what people do, and how they behave, is consequential.
That's fair.
