RE: A bit of a rant.

Bitcoin isnt stake based so no one can change the protocol on chain just by having a ton of btc. You would need a lot of hashrate, but with BTC marketcap being so large, that its asking a lot of an attacker to destroy their own investment as it's better to be greedy than destructive in PoW mining. Of course a rogue nation could attempt but it would be rather obvious where the influx of nasty hashrate is coming from, and could be legal issues for rogue governments attacking BTC at this point due to how many legitimate hodlers there are.

Sort:  

A country such as China, The US, Russia, etc could make things hard? Remember, not so long ago the United States called crypto a threat to national security :(
