Why is THORChain held to a "higher" (=more centralised and censored) standard than Ethereum and Bitcoin?

> ""Four operators could halt THORChain." True.

They can halt it for everyone, in 720-block windows, or not at all.

What they cannot do is freeze your address. That tool was deleted in February 2025.

A pause is not a blacklist.
