&quot;It is like exercising a veto you hold for anything and everything, and yes, vetoes are important in consensus systems. But disrupting conversation is not the veto, the actions of actual transacting economic actors deciding what software to run or not run is the veto. This denial of service on dialogue is not some noble or righteous crusade to save Bitcoin, it is an active attack on those economic actors and their ability to gain a better understanding to make an informed decision on whether to veto something or not.&quot;
~ Shinobi

Today we dive into the contentious arena of Bitcoin consensus and the dialogue around it. Reading an insightful piece by Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine, we explore the alarming trend of &quot;denial of service attacks&quot; on meaningful discussion within the Bitcoin community. Is this a calculated attack to silence new ideas, a necessary friction to maintain the integrity of Bitcoin&#8217;s foundational principles, or is it an unavoidable consequence of Bitcoin&#8217;s success? Listen as Guy offers his insights and invites you to judge the merit of open dialogue in the face of technological conservatism.
