Maybe? But we’re more experienced now, with better tools.

Yes, but now bigger is the herd... It's in a banks' blood to exercise control over policies, backed by the savings of normal people. They will try, not if but when...

Much more difficult.

Why more difficult? Does not matter how many coins custodians have? Node runners decide the rules like last time. Worst case they can ban non-custodial BTC maybe but they can't easily capture network majority. Saylor positions himselfMSTR as big custodial player maybe. Or 3d chess to downplay power of self custody? Or compromised/ back on the wall?
