I&#39;m talking about the entire current Bitcoin culture, where these people control the most important businesses, mining operations, media, and infrastructure around Bitcoin. That 0.1% you&#39;re dismissing control the whole network - or at least all the coordination layers that matter. They run the conferences, the media outlets, the major mining pools, the development funding. They define what&#39;s &#34;legitimate&#34; Bitcoin discourse.&#xA;&#xA;You say most people will never encounter them, but that&#39;s only true if you never try to build anything, never participate in development discussions, never try to organize events.
