Why? Because Bitcoin can justify continued money printing. As it can capture increasing value ad infinitum with no fear of collapse from degeneracy of use (e.g. with real estate houses unused degenerate, with collateralized debt obligations in 2008 mortgages unpaid stack up and the thing collapses. With Bitcoin, if it doesn't move, that's OK. It's like gold, except super scarce so all the liquidity can channel into that and see 10x gains in the same time). Of course, if most of the debtors start to want repayment, then negotiating a new debt system while Bitcoin serves as global reserve money is a perfect way to release tensions. (And get some people paid back some money, while others chill).

What is the threat to the BTC? local $5 wrench attacker and international BTC hackers (I called mine TZB) will need this level of corporate/ state interference. At the extreme end, this infact fuels a "Pro-individual Bitcoin reset" say if certain countries hold that much more BTC than civilians and suddenly it goes stolen by the criminal mastermind. So they'd (we'd) have to copy Ethereum's playbook here, using our permission of course, to rewind the chain. Because we (Bitcoiners) want to. If not, no biggie. The criminal goes on living nice and easy with their millions in stolen BTC (worth maybe trillions. Ouch. That's a lot of liquidity to leave to a criminal).
