Sounds like you don’t know how the most population on the planet live and work.
This model could spread bitcoin among white collars though

If you have cellular net / internet nearby, there is a power plug somewhere.
Without internet it doesn't matter if you have a lightning node...
Every construction site, every car, every rest room has power. Every blue-collar worker in the industry uses power tools or machines, guess how they are powered?
Even if we omit the fact that it is extremely inconvenient to live off of a power socket, thats what I’m talking about - white collars could be a part of this movement. However, there are like 99% of population who are not white collars.
There are people at work who get fines for only looking at the phone to check time, you know?
Lol yeah, of course. So the phone has to suplly energy for about 4 hours till next work rest.
Besides all the old unused phones turned into a lightning box in a shelf at home.
Don't know what's your problem with surplus phones replacing rare raspis.
I would love to have node and private server on the phone. But I’m looking realistically to that applying to real life and I’m very skeptical its possible in the nearest future
Especially given the fact how mobile networks routing work, this is the main issue today, not even battery size
Lets say I only use LTE today, which IP address should my phone expose without any centralized signaling services? Last time I checked it wasn’t possible. P2P doesn’t work today. Thats actually the reason why nostr works as it works
