 But that doesn’t destroy Bitcoin as is. They want total control. Their coins, new coins mined on their chain

 Right it wouldn't but with 0 hashrate BlackCock doesn't have much say when it comes to a fork and generally speaking they can want whatever they want. They aint getting it. Their stacks aren't even shark size yet compared to some individuals aka some paranoid crypto anarchists who've been around since day one.

 I agree with you 100%. Their desire to make Bitcoin whatever they think Bitcoin should be is clearly hanging in the air. I just don't think they'll succeed. They should have done this "buying up Bitcoin" 10 years ago and they might have succeeded. Fortunately they didn't and over 93% of the supply has been already distributed. 

Imo the worst case scenario is that wall street tampers with the price in a massive collusion, gets chewed up by the whales and spit out.
