 As this last pump has showed
the vast majority of inflows into Bitcoin are coming in through highly centralized Entry points

Not to mention that Bitcoin as an Moe Is highly discouraged

So I feel like this isn't going to work out the way you think it is

 Then, one needs to assume that Bitcoin is corruptible. That rests my case. Thanks.

 Thanks for the link – a good post. 

Though I didn't find anything there that suggested that bitcoin is corruptible as it currently stands. We have a leadership problem that could be potentially exploited, and it is good that we are discussing these things now. 

As for me, I vote with my node and hash power. 

What I dislike is when folks downplay Bitcoin and cheer for monero; these are two different beasts with different directions and tradeoffs. I own both and appreciate both.

 the point is that you dont have to compromise the network. Bitcoin will not scale and custodians will be necessary (obv they're already here).
All that has to be done is control the custodians. Regulatory capture is a real thing.

Monero is still a small faster moving project and has different problems lol

nice to meet you.
