Why are you looking for something to evolve? Your writing suggests a pejorative term?
Although miners can collude to replace data, there are still copies of the prior data from people who can't contribute to the collusions and it would be major news at that point in time. Crisis of confidence have occurred in these systems and every major service has managed them before (typically by either rejecting deposits and withdrawals client side, or extending the amount of time necessary to determine if the content of a block stays where it is), and then the chain continues as normal when the disruption is gone (time to check if block content stays drops back lower).

- vmception 5y agoWhat's evolved is the operational security of the IT services. Before, most of the scary issues that you described were only scary because they hadn't come up yet and were populated by theoretical conjecture. Then people realized they weren't scary and made processes to still run their business during network disruptions, no different than relying on other digital platforms.
