I know you were making fun, but to be honest about this:

If bitcoin is about 2% in terms of "all over the globe available money" and "they" can print a nearly endless amount of fiat money you can trade for BTC - do your really think someone is in need of a "partnership" to take over something with a massively lower volume over time?^^

People can fork or do what ever they think is necessary, the problem will be the same as long as people are hailing fiat money.
