Thanks .. that makes sense now .. running a node creates a vote in the network ..right ?
Going to spin one now ..
But here is the question .. given that there are only 100 k ish nodes .. how hard it is for say someone like Microsoft or Google ( big infra guys ) to spin 100 k more nodes .. have the Bitcoin core change the consensus rules and start following next version of core ?
