Decentralized money is supposed to cut out middlemen and trust games. But NU7 just showed us something wild:
Consensus rules can literally lock up legacy $ZEC funds — make them impossible to spend.
So here's the uncomfortable question: What happens when protocol governance becomes the ultimate gatekeeper to your own money?
This isn't just a $ZEC thing. It's a reminder that "decentralized" doesn't always mean "permission-free." Governance votes, hard forks, consensus changes — they can all rewrite the rules on your holdings.
If you're stacking crypto, understand the governance model. Know who controls upgrades. Know if your coins could get bricked by a vote you never participated in.
Decentralization is the promise. But governance is the reality check. Stay sharp on both.
