n/a are all onions or not necesserly? Anyway it's amazing to have 2/3 of nodes not link to a geo location, obviously it's non-corporate nodes, which mean the network is still very decentralized and owned by the people and not corporations.

Bitcoin is borderless, your location on earth doesn't matter at all, you can be part of it whatever.

Sure but the entry point is quite low, you need what, a smartphone, internet and nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s #phoenix or other self-custodial mobile node installed.

If you cannot even afford a smartphone, or are not allowed because your are a kid for example, you can get boltcards for 2-5$ (custodial) until you can run your own node.

phoenix or zeus are just mobile light nodes for lightning. not a full archival bitcoin node.

Running a Bitcoin node barely has any costs as long we have a machine 24h connected... anyone can run one on a old laptop or mini pc.
