 Are we ready for the governments and banks of the world to lead a covid level propaganda campaign to fork to increase the total supply of Bitcoin and add KYC markers on chain?

 Think about it like this - would Russia and China use the American Bitcoin fork?

Any country which tries this has a huge risk of blowing up their entire economy. The winning move is to play by the rules. That's what makes Bitcoin succeed.

 They can try but will fail. They would need to create better incentives to win. 
 Yep.
