This is an important point. Bitcoin holders are not dumb, ETF holders maybe are not as informed. But they would surely take note of the stink kicked up by holders should some large economic nodes (i.e. institutions) start being stupid. ETFs are also businesses. The best ways to go out of business are to loose the confidence of your customer or destroy your product. Trying some softfork stupidity would do both. Miners are also not dumb. They would surely forsee the stupidity of institutional soft fork attempts and the risk they posed to their profits. I'm not saying all this couldn't happen, it just doesn't seem likely imo.

And you can't shut Bitcoiners up, since we have our own communications protocol, now. 😁
Ignoring the fact that governments can just _make_ any miner and institution under their jurisdiction enforce compliance coin...
How much of the network do you believe would be willing to put their Dollar value at risk to ensure that "terrorists and criminals" can continue to use bitcoin?
True in theory. Have you been on any podcasts to raise more awareness of this? I think it would be good. nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz760mw3c Lola would make a good guest along with nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm or someone else capable of analysing this issue.
Was thinking on same line, what if govt. buy the miners or make them move some where else. By jurisdictional laws they can do whatever they want. Look at Ross , Assange and others. But I do believe that as humans we have the weapon in the form of Bitcoin if we play well we can win. nostr:npub1yx66n3ea20z5v4rnqpzp67qxs2mxea8wve4uh4vj86caswd9gkmqn9ndt2
Only the parts that matter
You seem ready to be surprised how dumb people are. That's great, but I'm ready to not be surprised if people are dumber than you think.
