In this situation, if we're lucky, ATProto would continue to take off and would stay open.
If we're unlucky, under VC pressure Bluesky would try to claw back some control over the network and/or protocol.
If we're very unlucky, Bluesky would eventually close, too, and probably take the ATmosphere with it.
