summary
Argues that ossification of the base layer is both a long-term limit and a defensive feature, warns of coordinated psyops and legal suits used to pressure named-core contributors, and shows practical mitigations: multisig, air-gapped machines, randomizing supply chains, and shipping anti‑interdiction checks. Points out inscriptions/spam raised fees only temporarily, chain‑analysis claims are likely overstated, and that quantum computers unlikely near-term so migration to post‑quantum sigs or soft forks is feasible if needed.
