But what you described is what is happening right now. 15-20% of node runners discovered on Saturday that fighting for node affordability to avoid node centralization was moot, as the network was already controlled by the colluding centralized set of miners.\nA new chain may resume on September, but the triumph of whoever colluded to do this is they got to keep the brand name and ticker for the captured chain. This is a huge blow, it can range from decades of delay of separating money and state to the decentralized chain becoming the Linux of money, only used by those in the known, but maybe even without an equivalent server market.\nI know this is too scary to concede. We assumed bitcoin dynamics will always eject the \"big blockers\" dujour, but this time, if you look at the chain from 2022 you understand big blokers won this one, even worse, they are a small centralized cooptable colluding group.\nPeople don't like to think their money is fragile,  happens with Fiat minds, and can happen within bitcoin with a little overconfidence and complacentcy. \n\n"}
