No i dont think they are an authority on btc, however, I do think they have tons of funds, and can pay off just about anyone. maybe core dev would be a target for them? I do agree it is a stupid proposal but just keeping in mind what big investors may try.

Conceivably, blackrock could fund a fork (a la Bitcoin Cash). But there's no way to force everyone who wants a fixed supply to use the fork without a fixed supply. That would just end up being a really expensive mistake for blackrock.

They'd be able to fork off for free. Even if they did pay off a dev, so what? Would you run that version of the software?
