Ah. Interesting perspective. It's good to examine the extremes, and plan for that in the model too.

It makes me think about Nassim Taleb's concept of antifragility, where systems are beyond robust in that they gain from disorder and chaos, and don't just resist it. Evolution by natural selection is one such example.

And now that I think about it, Bitcoin might be antifragile too. It doesn't reward dishonesty, therefore it disincentivises corruption. And by removing the bureaucracy around txns, the market forces out corruption.

This is only a semi-formed idea in my head and I might return to it later. Just planting seeds because I appreciate the discussion =)
