yeah. my point is that Bitcoin's strength doesn't come from its tech alone. It's actually the people running the nodes, the community, the ecosystem, users, devs, companies, etc. Bitcoin is nothing without humans that fight back against a protocol update like UASF (they had 80% of hashrate and most of the ecosystem), miners switching to different pools, companies showing proof of funds, users getting out of exchanges or migrating to self-custody.
technology is just means to an end, Bitcoin is the weapon, but needs soldiers that know how to use it properly. Bitcoin is not a technological revolution, Bitcoin is a whole fucking movement.
