Someone will make nodes easy. Someone will try to co-opt them. Someone will make an argument for an innocent little change.
Not saying it’s easy, but attempts will be made.
If bitcoin truly takes over the world, there’s gonna be an ungodly amount of money trying to influence every aspect. It’ll be relentless.
True but I also believe that major players who will represent states, financial institutions, future countries will fight not to make changes that could weaken their financial security based on bitcoin protocol. They will know that for example if China makes a fork with changes damaging for everyone else..their only choice will be to stay with the resilient and "hard" version of btc. Game theory is a real thing. There will be attackers but possibly more powerful defenders. Btw. I heard about plans to run nodes on Iphones 😱.
Core is coming to mobile. Not sure if that’s a pruned node or what but I imagine many coming to mobile

"For any period of time, economic security is a function of the number of merchants and the similarity of amounts traded. The strongest economy would be all people in the world trading for the same number of units in the period, an ideal which can be called a "distributed" (or fully-decentralized) economy. The weakest would be one delegate accepting all units traded in the period, which would be a "centralized" economy."
Deep. Thx!
My favorite Bitcoin resource. Enjoy
