If one individual boycotts, nobody cares.
"Yeah, but EVERYONE will boycott it, because EVERYONE runs a node!!"
Except that most people don't, and of those who do, a vast majority of them "hodl" and don't actually use it.
"But hodling is using!!"

If hodling is using, then how is it paying miners?
"Because it makes the value of the coins higher!"
Ahh, so it's not about your transactions? Not about what your node accepts? If you hodl, it benefits those miners?

"Exactly! If you do something I don't like, I'll sell your coin!!"
And what role does your node play in that?
"My node matters because I won't accept your transactions!!"

That has nothing to do with the fact that selling your coins requires an exchange, not a node.
"But I'll sell your coin! The consumer wins!"
Not your keys, not your coins.
"B-b-b-b-ut"
Also, prices are set on the margin, not by the holders.
