I find that there are still many people who really don't have a clue and don't understand the principles of BTC, spreading some mindless panic information during the bear market. This includes some so-called big influencers.

For example, the recent documents from the I.B.D. claim that Israel controls three developers.

To put it simply: anyone can change the code, but no one can force others to run that code.

Let's clarify the logic:

1. Code vs Protocol

Developers modify a copy of the code on GitHub.

You can change it, I won't follow.

Because the Bitcoin network does not rely on GitHub, but on thousands of nodes running the software globally!

2. Who is the real court? -- It’s the node operators

Even if developers write on GitHub to add 10 million Bitcoins for themselves:

Nodes refuse to upgrade: nodes operating the original old software globally will immediately recognize that this new code violates the consensus rules, thus refusing to upgrade and disconnecting from malicious nodes.

Developers have no coercive power: developers cannot control your computer to automatically update the software. If you don't click update, your node will always operate under the rules you agree with.

3. What happens if you insist on changing?

Forking, if some developers and miners insist on changing the code (for example, increasing the block size or changing the total amount) while others oppose: for example, the hard fork in 2017 resulted in BCH. It split into two chains.

Market votes: but ultimately, which chain is valuable is decided by the market, users, exchanges, and miners together. For instance, if you think BCH is not the real Bitcoin, then just don't buy it.

History has proven that the chain that maintains the purest rules (total supply of 21 million) always holds the highest value, which is why, despite the development of technology and the functions on public chains like ETH, no one is developing on BTC. Do you understand?

If you still don't get it, save it and read it a few more times. If you still don't understand, then don't waste your brain on it. When the sky falls, there are tall people watching.
