...for some folks to be suggesting that BTC hodler/accumulators have to engage in a certain kind of behavior such as mining or node running in order to either be full-fledged bitcoin citizen or a prudent bitcoin actor.

you can be a prudent bitcoin actor by holding btc.
you cannot be a bitcoin citizen (which votes) without mining and/or node running.

extending your analogy a bit, those who simply hodl could be compared to US green card holders: basically all (or almost all) rights, but NO voting rights.


You are wrong. You can vote with your feet.

If you don't like something you can dump all the coins.



That's not voting, this is like having a fit of rage in a public place.
It would have ZERO affect on bitcoin protocol.
Ver did it, Bitmain did it-all for nothing. Their dumping did not affect btc at all, only made it stronger.
