"us" is an imaginary ideal that you are creating, in reality most individuals are easily bribed and would happily trade their current node software for a bunch of fiat currency given a company like blackrock would direct them to do it. all it takes is them coopting the society which CLEARLY is already well under way. why would you be so ignorant about the social black-rock-washing of bitcoin unless you want it to happen faster?

what?
“us” is the network of peers. if the network of peers can be bribed to ensure bitcoin fails then bitcoin was doomed from the start
part of bitcoins security design is to assume the majority of the network are honest nodes and bitcoin uses the longest chain of work. it’s in the whitepaper
if all of us can be bribed with cheap deals humanity doesn’t value hard money enough to protect it.
now if some of us try, it will fail, which is what happened to bitcoin cash and countless others
