"If you hold your own keys then you're a bitcoiner."
**FALSE**
A private key is not part of the network. It's just a number. The network determines if it is valid or not.
A transaction is not part of the network. It's the data that the network relays and records.
The nodes are the network. A bitcoiner participates in the network by running a node.
They determine which rules are valid on their node.
They don't ask for permission to spend because they broadcast their spend through the network from their node.
Everyone else is asking a bitcoiner for permission to spend.
