I'm honestly tired reading all these silly accusations about how miners are evil and how we should resist against them.
It's just so stupid that I cannot even quantify the level of its stupidity.

First of all, miners are not evil - they are the power of the network by design and they should do their job, part of which being: decision making about the protocol.
And second, even if you wanted to, you cannot resist their power, because they are the power of the network by design.

You don't like the miners' ruling the bitcoin - invent your own virtual currency, one that has it designed otherwise.
In the virtual currency invented by Satoshi in 2009, miners are supposed to rule and so they do rule - you can't change it, it's impossible.
And if you don't like this idea, then obviously you have not yet found a digital currency that is suitable enough for you.

Myself, I am going to stick to the miners' ruled currency, because I do find this idea as a proper way to go.
