At some point we are going to have to do something about them, because they aren't going to just stand by while the structure they've been building is dismantled and replaced by one where they are powerless.
Yes, they won't but I don't see how they can fight us without highlighting the point of bitcoin and thus strengthening our cause.
Does anyone else have the feeling that just about everything that's been happening since Bitcoin made it's debut on the NYSE has been an attack on Bitcoin? Even COVID-19? Even Ukraine/Russia?
No, not really. Sorry, that sounds too conspirational for me. Doesn't mean it's wrong though; I just don't know. Regarding stuff like this, I tend to agree with the following quote:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

bring justice to them before they have a chance to hurt a huge number of people. What do you think?

and he doesn't have to. it is a kind of trigger to slow down the progress of implementation. after recalculating the difficulty, it is disabled and the blocks will be 100-200 minutes) and so do every 2015 blocks) it's simple... or there will be a fork that will change the rate of difficulty change to 215 blocks) but that's another story...
