So, is all FOSS considered gatekeeping to you? Because it works the same way.
If an update is really that contentious it will fork. Monero community has a clear goal to pursue, private p2p digital cash, and been overwhelmingly in agreement on updates.
Willing to bet you have never taken advantage of bitcoin's transparency and manually validated supply. So, a bit larpish. But you might trust a node is doing it correctly for you. Exactly like a monero node. Just because you don't know how pedersen commitments work doesn't mean your node can't do it.

quoting nevent1q…5wckGreat resource, thank you!
No need to reply to this, I just want to summarize for my own learning: it seems like monero’s supply can be algorithmically verified - you just need to trust the algorithm. This is different from bitcoin which *could* be manually verified. Now nobody or nearly nobody does that for bitcoin because it would take too long. Instead they write algorithms to add everything up automatically. The main difference then is that the bitcoin supply verification tests can be run on real blocks and manually checked, while monero blocks can never be run on real blocks and manually checked. Just on test blocks generated for quality control purposes. The two paradigms are closer than most give credit.
