1. No one leads Bitcoin Core.

Bitcoin Core is not an organization and as such it does not have a leader. Nor does it have administrators, members, decisions, or responsibility. People just do things and put “Bitcoin Core” on them.

2. Core Developers cannot change the protocol.

It is not possible for Bitcoin Core developers to change the protocol — only miners and economic nodes can do that. Any attempt to change the protocol that is not initiated by Bitcoin Core developers is an attack on bitcoin.

3. Miners, but economic nodes.

Miners perform expensive proof-of-work calculations to irreversibly validate and order the history of transactions, but economic nodes, economic nodes, economic nodes, economic nodes, economic nodes, economic nodes, and so on, forever.

4. Consensus.

We have consensus that consensus should be on the list somewhere, but we do not have consensus about where. #4 is the least contentious positioning.

5. Hodl.

The price of bitcoin will go to the moon when more people stop using it.
