Authority in Bitcoin comes from hashing power not by credentials or anything else. Go and convince the Chinese mining pools to adopt someone's fork. These are the guys spending >$50k a month on electricity and millions of dollars in mining gear. You can also go start collecting Dogecoin or Ethereum or start your own crypto currency. Nobel Prize winner F.A Hayek in his book "The Denationalization of Money" suggested that in the future there should be multiple competing currencies anyway, not one uber currency to rule them all.
