> but one of the hardest promises Bitcoin makes is that you can't change the rules mid-game

Am I misremembering or did the other blockchain do exactly that in response to the DAO hack?

Compare that to the ease of rolling back a transaction in USD. I think we'll find the cost was orders of magnitude higher.

That doesn’t sound like a “hard promise”

Wasn't that on Ethereum? My impression is that it has very different governance/promises.

Governance on ethereum is the same as bitcoin, regardless of what bitcoin maxis want you to believe

You need support of the miners to effect a change on bitcoin, they won't support a change which is contrary to their interests.

not Miners, Users. The Users with their own Node govern the rules of Bitcoin. The Miners are bending to our will.

That was Ethereum, not Bitcoin.

Bitcoin did the same, to be fair.
