Is ever more nodes part of the solution here? Every freedom-seeking human that has a little bit of tech know-how running a node...gatekeepers against malicious hard forks??

And miners...more indiduals mining in pools, and observing the pools to make sure they are balanced. Also, perhaps some of the biggest whales pooling some resources to develop an ASIC fabricatiin facility? That seems like an attack vector considering so few manufacturers.

Seems like many challenges down the road.
