Bitcoin was issued in 2009 when I launched the network. It is distributed under a pre-arranged pattern that is issued in a unilateral contract. A unilateral contract is one where I make an offer to the world and those nodes that seek to be paid accept the offer by working on it. The consideration is the transfer and distribution of bitcoin.

That is from me to them.

Miners enforce the rules. A consortium of minors or nodes as defined in section 5 of the White Paper do not create rules, do not vote on protocol but rather accept one of two options.

Option one
The nodes act within the law and legally, they act to enforce the rules which includes financial services law and court orders or;

Option two
They are an attacker and hence a malicious actor who are subject to criminal provisions.

That is, removing a transaction from the UTXO set and pruning it from nodes.

Remember, pruning is a part of the White paper
