“The English term "taboo" originates from the Polynesian word "tapu," meaning "prohibited" or "forbidden." This term was first recorded in English in 1777 by British explorer James Cook, who observed its use in Tonga to describe things that were forbidden to be eaten or used. The word "tapu" is found in various Polynesian languages, including Tongan, Māori, and Hawaiian, and is derived from the Proto-Polynesian *tapu and Proto-Oceanic *tabu, which conveyed a sense of something being sacred or off-limits due to spiritual reasons.”

Correcting my misspelling in english language from “tabu” to “taboo”.

If for

central banking

the word: “audit” is taboo,

then for

Bitcoin-Core

the words: “economic framework”

is also taboo…
