Economic nodes matter. Miners matter.
consensus among those groups is important, it's much less important we decide amongst ourselves.
because miners aren't going to continue mining on an economically irrelevant chain.
if miners and economic nodes follow a fork, idealistic individual plebnodes are irrelevant.
ie if saylor wants quantum resistant signatures and can convince the supermajority of economic nodes to enforce a fork that lock coins that dont move to the new addresses, that's where the hash goes and the "free" chain dies.
point being, the control of actual goods and resources still matter. Therefore fiat billionaires still matter. they can still exert pressure on Bitcoin in real way.
freedom money is not inevitable.
