Re: Segwit on Bitcoin has Failed , BTC Core has Lost , The Miners have Won
I sympathize a little with your outrage. However, I don't believe that there is another way. Your options -- from the sidelines -- are few.
- Sell all your BTC and leave it all behind, thereby unnoticeably reducing the price (such would be a lever for large groups, but inconsequential for individuals)
- Buck up buttercup and fire up a node. Joining the network makes your voice heard. Any given node still has essentially zero real power, but at least you can signal your preferences.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that's about all your options.

No, you did good. You are perfectly correct.
Informed answers are always helpful, even if they are bad news.
I will start doing some homework. Maybe I will actually make a node.
I just don't have enough time right now to read all the info I need. But maybe....
Edit: *sigh* "Its common for full nodes on high-speed connections to use 200 gigabytes upload or more a month. Download usage is around 20 gigabytes a month, plus around an additional 100 gigabytes the first time you start your node." I guess that I will not have a full node after all
