Bitcoin it at 21762 reachable nodes 💪

Bitcoin only has 22k nodes. That actually surprises me. New Tari has 11k and monero has 14k or so.
With all this push of node runners. That seems low.
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.
*if you can afford buying a node - and bitcoin
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.
They are mostly Tor nodes.
Rookie numbers
Earlier this year, I fell victim to a devastating cryptocurrency scam that cost me $79,000 worth of Dogecoin (DOGE). I met a scammer through a Telegram investment group—a woman named “Clara” who posed as an experienced crypto broker. She shared impressive-looking client testimonials and promised a 35% return in just seven days. Her website looked professional, and despite my initial doubts, I eventually transferred 500,000 DOGE, worth about $79,000 at the time.
For the first week, everything looked fine—the trading platform showed my balance growing steadily. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told I needed to pay a $12,000 “withdrawal fee.” Clara reassured me this was standard and fully refundable, so I paid it. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. More unexpected charges followed: a tax clearance fee, a network fee, a security deposit. Before I knew it, I had lost an additional $8,000.
I was crushed—emotionally and financially. My savings were gone, and I blamed myself for ignoring the red flags. A friend eventually suggested I reach out to JBEE SPY TEAM RECOVERY, a company known for helping scam victims recover stolen cryptocurrency.
Although I was skeptical, I was also desperate. I contacted them and provided every detail I could: wallet addresses, transaction history, chat logs—everything. Their team got to work right away. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they traced the stolen DOGE, identified the scammer’s wallet, and worked with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they were moved any further.
Throughout the process, they kept me informed and reassured. After days of relentles
s effort, JBEE SYP TEAM RECOVERY successfully recovered the majority of my stolen Dogecoin. Their professionalism, expertise, and transparency turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of redemption.
If you’ve been a victim of crypto fraud, I highly recommend contacting them: Email conleyjbeespy606@gmail.com

Looks like I finally have to add one.
Will we reach 100,000 nodes by 2030?
