on "freezing" the protocol: good, better, best

There are no doubt benefits to ossifying or freezing the protocol. Stability and protection from certain kinds of attacks come to mind. The key insight is that you make the engineering changes you need to make first, and then you "freeze it" (if you're going to freeze it).

BTC is a "good" protocol because it is more or less frozen and handles 300-400k transactions per day.

BSV is a "better" protocol because it removed the silly blocksize limit (and then froze the protocol). (Note: I'm not saying BSV is better or a more legit project than BTC overall. There are plenty of other reasons not to support BSV outside the scope of this post.)

BCH is the "best" protocol we have because we have a solid roadmap to make the engineering changes, and then, we can consider freezing the protocol as it will be complete, at least for a foreseeable future.
