I agree its not the number of nodes in a network.
I disagree that the number of wallets using a node matters either.
I think the disagreement might be semantic. But just to confirm In saying the nodes matter because in the system the nodes are what run the rule set that defines bitcoin. Maybe you mean the same thing but if you strictly say the users to mean the wallets. They don't actually have a say in the ruleset to run directly. I think you mean that if they choose nodes for the ruleset they want then they do have a say
Sound right?
