And yet, every day, it does not happen. So the argument cannot be about first-order rational economic incentive, it must be both about second-order thinking (how does such a decision affect bitcoin's *future* value) and plausibility (why is it more ok to delete these coins over here and not those over there). From that second-order thinking point of view, holding to censorship resistance (because it's not bitcoin as we define it if it doesn't have that property) is rational.

Oh of course, it definitely requires second-order analysis, but concluding that *obviously* means the market will prefer a no-burn fork I think is equally reductionist. Obviously seizing 1% of coins in a cartel isn’t the same as preventing a quantum computer from stealing N% of coins and enabling ...
