I would love seeing wall street ending up on a shorter chain.

Wall Street is the least likely to fork—their priority is preserving monetary value. The incentives naturally push them toward the longer chain, reinforcing Bitcoin’s security and stability—which, of course, is a good thing.

The bigger risk comes from disaffected developers—a reality in every FOSS project—who see an opportunity to make a name for themselves by adding their "must-have" feature to "save" Bitcoin. And the problem? It’s all too easy for them to be swayed, whether by ideology, incentives, or external influence.
