SHA256 Mining trustless distributed critical consensus is the most important (and the most resilient) point of resistance of Bitcoin, against the governments and the financial oligarchy.
Fixed it for you. Bitcoin mining is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
I wish you could understand the difference between
A. signaling readiness for a new feature, and
B. voting for a new features
I know it's all very subtle and you don't do nuance, but please stop spreading the lie that miners are in charge of Bitcoin.
They are not and never will be. That's not how any of this works.
Just because there are armed guards in front of the bank it doesn't mean those armed guards make executive decisions for the bank.
They are just hired muscle and may be fired if they forget their place and get uppity.
This is a really good analogy and works to make people understand the difference.
It's very sad to see some people falling for the BU scam wanting to make miners 100% the ones that call all the shots. How can a project like bitcoin be hostage of miners when miners are usually just your average businessman that keeps expanding his monopoly? how can you leave the project in hands of security guards while firing the high IQ people that get the best code done (Core devs)??
This whole thing is ridiculous.
