This raises an interesting thought. I think one of the more interesting second-order effects of "what if red wins?" and a massive chunk of the population just dies off. My first thought was, "could modern civilization survive a 20-30+% population collapse overnight?" and I would imagine that it's a "maybe" with the condition that it really depends on what those 20-30% were doing. But this raises a good counterpoint, which is: "What if modern society actually depends on most people to be red?" This fundamentally changes the equation. The operator between parties in this scenario would be "selfish-cooperation." More of a "I cooperate with others, not because everyone has the same interests and is looking out for each other, unconditionally, but others have something I value, and I have something others value." All are red to varying degrees, i.e. everyone is "selfish", but have an incentive to work together.

I also find it kind of weird that it was all good and dandy, "a mistake, and we'll look at including yours as well" and then coming back less than a day later with "it's not the path we want to go" and almost copy/pasted the same post publicly like it was damage control. Including the "sufficiently decentralized" BS. It's almost like a lawyer or marketing got in his ear and the story changed on a dime.

I want to say, thanks @cassie for having our backs. The amount of toil and time node runners have invested into running nodes and figuring out this ecosystem... It would piss me off to no end (and kind of does that there are people who would want to do this) to learn that I had to earn my tokens the hard/right way and somebody was allowed to come in, buy a massive bag at discount, and then devalue all of the work node runners have done. And then to try claim they are pro-crypto 🧐 If they want tokens, just run the servers like everyone else. If they believed in the token, it's the same concept as buying a chunk OTC, it is just earning over time... Oh, wait... They aren't here for the network.
