Blackrock makes btc eft and gets approved by SEC
Blackrock etf brings in trillions to btc ecosystem, increasing price by 10x
Other etfs get approved and bring in even more capital, increasing mkt cap to what we would consider obscene levels today
Blackrock initiates hard fork that maxis will definitely not follow.
The trillions of capital that flowed into btc because of etfs follows Blackrock because obviously...
Only nodes that validate Blackrock's chain are the handful they run
Majority of capital is still in Blackrock's chain because plebs and og whales don't hold majority stake in the network anymore
People don't care because they aren't interested in their freedom, money, or self interest.
Current institutions coopt the btc protocol and plebs are left with our own worthless chain that will never be the main chain, regardless of security and decentralization.
