      Who is "we"? Programmers making legal and accounting decisions? Ethereum is headed for either a huge bureaucracy or disaster.https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/871263595593572353 …

      No. Casper can survive 51% attacks happening once in a while; we can just delete the attackers' deposits and keep going.

      Highly flawed assumptions: (a) "attacker" can be securely distinguished, and (b) everybody else disagrees with the "attacker".

      You don't need *everyone* to distinguish and disagree with the attacker. The market will appropriately value each fork.

      Exactly. A chain where innocent validators get deleted will be worth much less than a chain where the attacker gets deleted.

      It will often not work out that way. I recommend reading the public choice literature on this kind of topic.

      Have a reference to start at? Seems this is mostly about the effectiveness of market pricing. No traditional political mechanism is involved

      See also lit about conflicts of interest between stakeholders in a corporation, from their various equity stakes and side contracts.

          This is by far the best piece introduction reading on Public Choice theory. Thanks to the amazing @iealondon https://iea.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IEA%20Public%20Choice%20web%20complete%2029.1.12.pdf …

          Economics of centralized political systems may be somewhat relevant, but where is the "decentralized public choice" literature?

          More relevant, but a critical difference: corporations are centralized entities. Stakeholders have less power in crypto bc forks are easier
