Waaait, but I thought OOP was carefully crafted to "scale with big teams", and that's why it works so... ahem... "well". Turns out it was just memetic spillover from the creators' previous work?

With everything hand-written from scratch in C, just like God intended. Great work.
It doesn't have nothing to do with it. It's much easier to sell software if it's closed source. Some people manage to sell open source software but it's obviously pretty hard to compete with some guy who just compiled your software, changed the name and is giving it away for free.
Which would be illegal with a rights reserved license
To me that’s a turnoff, you might get an IDE where the speed is faster, but updates and fixes will be slow to come because the team could not get over NIH.
From what I've heard from 10x users I know, the dev is extremely responsive and bug fixes are often published within hours of being reported

In what way "permissionless"? In the way "the government has agreed that they can be unregulated financial products" or in the way "hopefully it can evade government financial regulation"? or in some other way?
Evasion of regulation. Not just from governments, however. From anybody who wants to control people without consent.

I never understand critiques like these.

There is now a sovereign nation state that accepted Bitcoin as a currency, and, mark my words, no doubt more will follow this 2022.
Replacing central banks, and by extension, their grasp on the limitless money printing, is the whole reason why bitcoin and it's blockchain exist. And it is working wonderfully well.
People in countries where the central bankers and politicians are letting them down are flocking to bitcoin and other later inventions (such as stable coins).
Just check these countries:
- Lebanon: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/2/25/distrust-in-leba...
- Turkey: https://etfdb.com/crypto-channel/as-turkey-lira-falls-bitcoi...

Yes, I agree, and this is all very cool, however regarding this point:
> There is now a sovereign nation state that accepted Bitcoin as a currency, and, mark my words, no doubt more will follow this 2022.
Sure. That's true, but doesn't actually matter, imo., because the point of crypto is to:
> Replac[e] central banks, and by extension, their grasp on the limitless money printing
So approval from the government in the case of crypto is worth about as much as it is for making love. It's the losing side of a game saying "You know what, we'll be so gracious as to allow you to win". Never needed your permission to begin with.
