A centralized chain with 1 node has x bits (total chain memory); and y mass (sum up joules per bit and convert via E=mc^2).
A decentralized chain with 10,000 nodes has the same x bits (total) chain memory on each node; but it has 10,000*y mass. The chain has 10,000 times the mass of a centralized chain since each node is running an identical copy of the bits which are all physical bits. ALL BITS ARE PHYSICAL. All bits are synchronous.
sýn (“together, with”) + khrónos (“time”).
synchronous = “together in time”
So, a forked chain that has ~20% of the nodes diverging in history has lost 20% of the mass, thus 20% of the energy in what is physically being preserved. A physical divergence in energy.
2 competing chains that are fractional masses of what once was one cohesive chain.
Bearish until full unity (unlikely). Down we go. Fiat has no logic here. A chain with fiat backed coins via debt will eventually respond to a falling fiat price.
Nodes are physical matter; and they do matter. You should listen to their concerns, especially when they are offering you socialized block space by transferring fees from sats to bits via inflating blockspace and arbitrary discounting of identical physical bits from protocol fiat.
Are we going to look at the physics or not?
My two sats; too bad they are worth-less.
quotingThe nodes are the mass of the system. The bits have joules, thus mass; literally. A large fork of nodes is a large fork of the chains mass, 2 histories of physical bits.

The term economic nodes is loaded. For example an exchange is considered an economic node due to the amount of coins and velocity of coins moving, but this is a fiat economic node….exchanges don’t exist in a hyperbitcoinized world. They are ephemeral “economic” (fiat) nodes.
