Just a metaphor really. We discussed it on nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld and even joked that it’s an alienating thought! Just an example of a powerful org that clearly has had strong policy influence (which btw, I personally am not a fan of)

But I agree there could be better metaphors and comparisons. Bitcoin is open source code, not a political entity
