Yes the nodes validate the rules, but not your node. The large monetary nodes override the plebs. 1 economic node is worth millions of plebs at home running a node. For example the Coinbase node holds all Bitcoin for most of the ETF’s including BlackRock’s coins and MicroStrategy’s coins combined. Brian Armstrong’s node overrides millions of pleb’s running nodes. Him and a few other Wall Street nodes. The suitcoiner’s nodes validate the rules for the top 3 mining pools pushing 51% of the hashpower and together they control Bitcoin. Even protocol level changes can be made when the economic nodes are in agreement with the mining pools. We’re talking about maybe 6 or 7 CEO’s working together can potentially redirect the ship.
