bitcoin is digital.
it is code
CODE
not conversation

code does not write itself
devs write code
for a new rule to be proposed devs need to CODE it
if devs CODE it in a way that controversially 'sends off' a controversial amount of users then you cant pretend the devs were not involved

i really find it funny that people think bitcoin is just social drama and such are only interested in performing social drama rather than speak about actual code and actual protocols.
