The fighters can be devs and big pocket supporters, and also miners.

The winner with the most KO's or scored points of the overall 5 different weight divisions win.

Winners take it all: the opponent BTC holdings and ASIC machines.

 ;D ;D

They would need some months of training. I would pay see this for sure. Unfortunately Buggy Unlimited team got Ver which has some background in judo but that is pretty useless in boxing and Nick Szabo looks like could take some punches, I think he could win with some training.

Whalebear can for sure crush the cheaply manufactured chinese mining robot. Not sure about the rest. Peter Rizun looks like he works out.

there is a third option you forgot.

"bitcoin prevails as is, as satoshi intended to and as it has been running very smoothly and very successfully for 8 years."

it is at the very least an option, a possible one at that.

p.s. fun topic though :D
