What do you guys think. Blackrock have been buying shares in Bitcoin Mining Companies as well as Vanguard. Can Bitcoin be captured and how do we stop it?

When people say "Blackrock is doing A, B, C"....I think they don't even understand the basics of the market.
"Blackrock" and "Vanguard" just package and sell shares to public investors. The "shareholders" own those miners, not Blackrock.

While technically true, do you really believe the shareholders are going to take a stand in support of libertarian principles regarding bitcoin?
That being said, what exactly do people think Blackrock can do to Bitcoin? Censoring transactions seems to be the most I can envision them doing, but there will always be miners who are willing to take any tx. I doubt they have enough capital to acquire 51% of the hash rate.
