Create voluntary overlay networks and software on top of existing systems. Once the overlays are sufficiently matured, you won't notice when the foundation they were built on top of dissolves or you actively Exit it entirely. Imagine taking a complicated clay sculpture and sticking little motion-capture-style nodes in it and wrapping wires on those nodes, etc. at first your wire sculpture would be inaccurate and coarse, but if you add more nodes and wires, bringing up the fidelity of your wire overlay, eventually you'd be able to melt the clay out and still have an accurate representation in your wire armature. This is what we'll do; pemissionlessly and therefore unstoppably.

remember when Bitcoin was just going sideways for a while and everyone was bored?

I'm not picking a side here. I just want to clarify Mechanic's point as I understand it. A scammer just needs to get Granny to double-click on an application that does those things automatically. Fetch op return data from a block on the chain, does whatever parsing and chopping, and then runs it locally on her machine (stealing her credit card number or passwords or whatever arbitrary malicious malware activity). If the scammer hosted this malware on his own server, downloads would leave a paper trail that investigators could follow. Uploading the malware to any other public server would likely be blocked or filtered by whatever security and content restrictions that plarform has. his point is the Bitcoin blockchain becomes the least filtered, easiest place to upload that sort of thing. whether one sees this as a problem or not is up for debate, but I wanted the argument to at least be clear.
