This isn't quite right. The miners only matter because the small hodlers hold. The small hodlers matter the most. Not the "influencers" (gay word, btw) not the whales, not the miners, not the ETFs, not the institutions, not even the devs.
Everything else is downstream from people who hold small stacks on hard wallets and run nodes. As long as those people do their thing, the rest of the circus will organize itself around them. And it doesn't even matter if they know what they are doing (and mostly they don't) as long as they keep doing it.
