A heavy answer, and appreciated. My own thoughts are quite similar.

When a person initiates the use of force against another, they are no longer playing a consensual game of social rules, they are playing by the laws of physics. As such, the laws of physics determine who wins. The person or group that is able to bring more force to bear, more effectively, is the one that wins.

We bitcoiners already play this game. We simply apply an additional social rule that says the force will be electric, rather than kinetic.

If Wright is not met with the amount of force necessary to end his use of force, then he wins, just as thoroughly as if he controlled 90% of all the mining power. Maybe we can bring some of that force through the same governmental systems he's using, but if that isn't enough, we bring whatever else is required. Or we lose.
