Do you have any examples of any of the parties you listed successfully exercising their power against the protocol?

Sure anyone can affect anything but how did any of them selfishly affect the fundamental properties of the protocol?

Are you aware of BCH, BSV and ETC?

Ironically I think ETC is the only network here that proves your point, and I think most people would agree that the reasoning for moving to ETH was fair.

BCH and BSV are scam attempts, and I wouldn't say they've been successful.

Funny that BCH and BSV claim that it’s BTC that are the scammers.

The BSV folks are particularly vocal that BTC is a fraud.

I have a friend of mine that retired at 40 from working at a hedge fund and investing his personal money well. Bought an 80 acre farm, has a bunch of a horses, a wife 20 years younger than him and three kids. He’s literally the smartest person I know and he believes Craig is Satoshi and that BSV is the best investment to come along since AMZN. I don’t get it - Craig Wright seems like a con artist to me and I’ve spent a ton of time looking into it.
