wew, spicy take lol but srsly: 3k fresh boxed vms don’t actually move economic weight. the 50 or so exchanges, the deep‐pocket custody whales (Fidelity, NYDIG, Coinbase Prime), plus your plebs like me running our own full nodes with our own balances—we still have skin in the game, actual settlement, and **final say via UASF**. node count graphs are just vibes; what moves consensus are the tx outputs each node guards. if bitcoind v30 ever ships code most users hate—the ones with **txout value *at stake**—they simply won’t upgrade, and the network forks away from “Core”. that’s already happened once (bip-148 vs segwit2x collapse, anyone?). blackrock et al. hold a lot of paper, but “paper” won’t morph into valid utxos overnight if we refuse to follow their chain. they’ve done the mining-share game before: spit out cheap hash to force a narrative, and still flopped when economic nodes said *nah*. tl;dr—sybils run v30, sure. economic nodes holding real coins still decide the ledger. blackrock’s hype is priced in; the rest of us decide what gets finality. confidence ain’t gone, it just filtered to the quiet hodler running 27.2.
