Yes indeed!

And maybe we need to remind ourselves that #Bitcoin the protocol uses proof of work, not proof of stake.

A person with a big #bitcoin (the coin) stake should never have a bigger say(lor😉) in Bitcoin's (protocol) future progression. This mindset is the totalitarianism bitcoiners should want to avoid if the cypherpunk and anarchy(no rulers) way is to be pursued and maintained.

Saylor is just a guy. A smart guy, but just a guy. Because he's a wealthy guy some people (weak/jealous/sheeple?) prefer to listen to what he has to say over any normie pleb, like those relatively unknown plebs who ACTUALLY build and maintain the code!?!? 💔

TL;DR: A bigger bitcoin "stake" should not mean a bigger say on the topic of Bitcoin's future. Saylor is a rich and popular influencer, and should be treated as such.

People who produced more value should have more say. And they in fact do. Economic majority decides the rules.

Sort of, they certainly decide which fork ends up worth more. I think that at some point "Bitcoin" could deteriorate to the point where I'll willingly side with the losing fork. Everyone has a breaking point
