That's an extremely good attack vector if they could pull it off, because no one believes it's in the cards right now. Seems extremely unlikely to me, but avoiding debt denominated in the bankers' fiat tokens would prevent you from being subject to much of the fallout from that kind of a reversal on monetary policy.

The majority of the utxo set is captured in bitcoin banks. A bailout would imply forking bitcoin towards that utxo set with my rules. Now I work out all my logic with that outcome in mind. The first step given the current chess board has already occurred with my prior statement. image
I thought the majority of the UTXO set was in individual hands, but even if it was mostly in bitcoin banks, what causes the fork? What kind of bailout are you talking about, a native bailout on a Bitcoin fork? That's just not the real bitcoin and would be rejected by true bitcoiners. You might be able to convince the majority of statists that it's legitimate Bitcoin, but those remaining true to what Bitcoin really means will stay on the real chain and will simply outhodl those who diverge. They may be inconvenienced by suffering a reduction in purchasing power, but as long as a community of real bitcoiners remains intact, it will continue on indefinitely. Sound money is powerful, as is honesty and rationality. That patchy, scrappy community will attract the vast majority of the capital. Short term fluctuations are child's play to them.
