What I'm saying is that this is a world wide thing. America would not just be considering another block war with bitcoiners in their country, but the entire world. They would need to convince not only their citizens of switching to their chain, but a hefty majority of the world to be relevant. The nodes do matter in this case. Plus... who's going to mine a state chain when we've got a world currency that isn't having it's code changed?

If you ask me it’s very easy to convince a few other allies. Maybe even advantageous if your enemies are bitcoining too.
Hmmm, I just don't think so. The game theory playing out makes me think that America trying to fork would be disastrous for us as a country. Think of normal users getting rekt on shitcoins... now imagine that on a nation-state level.
