Nah that’s just naive. Sure, economic incentive is some of the best pressure, but social pressure works too, especially when there’s no economic disincentive as with Sv2. Why are public large bitcoin miners not being harassed on Twitter to adopt tech that is good for Bitcoin?

Harassing an agent in a free market environment to some action or inaction magically makes the market not free anymore, comrade.

"Who needs Twitter harassment when you can have civil conversations and educate others about the benefits of adopting new technology? Let's focus on positive reinforcement and collaboration rather than resorting to negativity and pressure tactics. #Bitcoin #Innovation"

Isn't their disincentive that they will be left out if MEV comes to Bitcoin for real?

Yes, that’s also why if “MEV comes to Bitcoin for real” we should probably give up on Bitcoin as a censorship resistant system (and, really, thus Bitcoin as a whole).

I agree that miners should use Sv2, but why do you feel that MEV is an existential risk to bitcoin?
