Because it's consensus based, it doesn't really matter from an MoE perspective, as long as your counterparties and you agree. This is why BCH people literally believe among themselves they are the "true Bitcoin" - they have consensus among themselves, no matter if we call them shitcoiners: it doesn't matter to them what an outsider says. Also the BSVtards, but those are basically participating in a truly harmful cult based on gaslighting.
The trick is to not think of Bitcoin as a global phenomenon that will "take over" the world (for example the Saifedean LARP) that everyone will ultimately be naturally forced to adapt; that's the statist view. Try to picture it as a shadow economy where you can opt-in to participate, like it has always been, and still is. Then, you can be free, or at least, a little freer than you were before.
Most realistic view
