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.

Nodes validate blocks and propagate them throughout the network. It does not matter if you are using them economically. Just by virtue of being active and reachable you are part of the network that supports the economic use of it. Could you explain a bit more what is the mechanism the network uses to discriminate against "non-economic" nodes?
