I don't mean to spin you round but each government funded each code base attack and malicious developer attack from 2011 - 2016. Now, having said that there is no circumstanceal evidence, but look at the individuals that began founding and funding the hard forks and it becomes clear.

Governments learned quickly that the attack vector of bitcoin literally exposed the financial incentives behind it. Everyone was watching bitcoin volume when Litecoin released, and guess what ... price drop. The same is true with eth and most other early pow forks.

Does anyone remember when Azure added eth mining services in their early 2015-2016 releases? Microsoft has a lot of money, along with Amazon, in capturing the idea of Bitcoin Blockchain, not the tech itself. All the dots are there, along with certificate authorities, hardware manufacturers, cloud services licensing, open source pushback, backend systems, and 0 infrastructure changes to improve the grid.

Ignore the noise.
