Reading from top to bottom, the passive voice "they become BIP's author or deputy" left me wondering
how it would concretely work in practice. Link to the transferring ownership section for
clarification.
Shareholder refers to an individual or a legal entity owning a share of a company's share capital.
Since the Bitcoin system is not a company, but different actors across the industry have a stake in
its operation, i think the word "stakeholder" better conveys the intended meaning of the original
author here.
