Steven,
 
You make a decent point...but please try to keep the discourse civil. It's already hard enough trying to figure this stuff out without fanning more flames.

It's amazing how foolish some people are to continue trusting governments especially in light of recent history: a seemingly endless, Orwellian 'war on terror', multiple regional conflicts often justified by fake evidence, wholesale disregard of law and basic human covenants such as do not torture, ubiquitous and secret global surveillance.

Anyone who doesn't consider governments the proper threat model is either a shill or an idiot.

Until this is settled, Bitcoin has no clear direction and developers cannot make effective decisions:

How exactly do things set "settled" in this environment?

People looking at Bitcoin think a small group of developers and miners "control" these decisions.  Not sure if "control" is the right word but that is the perception.
