Plebs matter because they're Bitcoin's immune system.
Agenda-free, grift-intolerant hodlers and node runners who enforce the "money, not grift database" ethos.

Corporate bros and grifters typically angrily dismiss them ("plebs never mattered") which is an obvious big tell proving their power.

- Plebs' nodes reject invalid chains.

- Plebs’ hodling & boycotts influence miners to follow the valuable fork.

- Plebs’ adoption patterns create demand corporations chase.

- Pleb discourse on X and other places expose grifters' deceit in real time, rallies pressure on devs/miners, and shift narratives to protect first principles.

- Plebs help turn the exposure of moral corruption into coordinated economic/consensus force.

- Without plebs, Bitcoin is destined for full corporate capture and philosophical dilution.

Wall Street did nothing for Bitcoin. Price is ~10k above pre-ETF, that’s noise.

Web3 people should probably update their LinkedIn and start looking for jobs at McDonald’s. At this point… maybe all of us should
