PSA: node count does NOT equal economic weight of the nodes!
I don’t think enough people understand this.
What actually shapes Bitcoin’s rules is the *economic majority* which means the nodes connected to exchanges, merchants, wallets, Lightning operators, and real TRANSACTION FLOW.
If you want to truly express your view on Bitcoin’s rules, you need to use your node- that means spending, transacting, and economically participating through it.
