Hi Dan.
What might be better aim is to have built in wipeout protection? In
softfork scenario this would protect a majority threatening a minority
with a wipeout if they do not opt in to some soft-fork consensus
change.
This could be partly done done by having automoated consensus critical
re not blacklisting.

Even this can be
Thanks for this link. From my reading though, it seems that only
soft-forks that attempt to freeze funds are problematic on ethereum.

my concern is that the community can be manipulated via political means.

consensus rules.
The goal of such a cryptocurrency would not be to have the latest and
greatest tech, but rather to be a long-term store of value and to offer
