Wu learned that Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated that the future of Bitcoin is shaped by the dynamic consensus among nodes, miners, and holders: nodes rely on transaction verification rights, miners rely on hashing power, and holders rely on economic power. He believes that Bitcoin protocol changes only take effect when verification, security, and capital all agree. Saylor added that brand, legal, political, technological, institutional, and cultural forces can influence discussions but cannot directly determine Bitcoin consensus.

Legal and political pressure can only be applied off-chain; on-chain doesn't recognize that. Saylor sees this very clearly.

The separation of powers among nodes, miners, and holders—this design is indeed stable.

Three-power checks and balances + non-unilateral tampering, this is the underlying logic behind Bitcoin surviving for over a decade. Other chains cannot replicate it.

Miners need electricity, nodes need hardware, and holders need faith and money. The interests of the three parties are not fully aligned, but the outcome of the game makes the network more secure—brilliant.
