Rationality only works if you’re true motivation is financial. I suspect that anyone with the means to achieve a 51% majority is playing a different game than you or I. At that level power becomes the motivation and the power to crash it all on a whims notice is infinitely more valuable than any profit obtained. That scenario is heaps more frightening to me as bitcoin (and other blockchain coins who make it through the inevitable great cryptocurrency filter) become more popular, we may see a power struggle between nations and individual high level players. Who knows though, it’s all fascinating to watch either way. There are smarter people than me studying this every day and it really does feel like we are on the dawn of some societal breakthroughs.
