July 3, 2026
CoinFeed News
CoinFeed July 3 news, Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin's future is determined by dynamic consensus among nodes, miners, and holders: nodes exert influence through "transaction verification capability", miners through "hashrate", and holders through "capital". Protocol changes can only proceed when there is alignment among verification, security, and capital. He said that brand, legal, political, technological, institutional, cultural, and physical forces can only indirectly influence Bitcoin consensus by persuading, coordinating, constraining, or mobilizing these participants, and cannot directly determine the consensus outcome.
