Who controls Bitcoin?

A friend recently told me the reason they don't ALL IN HODL bitcoin is because they are worried that 10 Devs control the protocol "I don't wanna trust 10 devs with all my wealth" they said.

I corrected them (it's a pretty common mistake)

So who really controls bitcoin?

It's distributed. Block war already demonstrated that even with a majority of hashing power, you still can't force a change. Core v30 showed that the same applies to devs... But it's a complex & evolving dynamic, and there's no hard guarantees; only works with a strong, commited, well-informed community. Will we be able to keep that going? ✊

Yes hash power doesn't control bitcoin this we know already, arguably neither node runners.

Agree also devs don't...

so who?
