  They’ll just roll back the blockchain. Ethereum is a centrally controlled cryptocurrency, though its fans claim otherwise. It’s been rolled back before.

    This is either a person who hasn’t followed ETH since 2016 or is intentionally spreading misinformation.

    It HAS been rolled back once, when the blockchain was in its infancy. But to say that it is still “centrally controlled” suggests having no idea what has happened in the 9 years since.
