You are correct, I am not opposed to a full node and I run well two actually.

My point is this social argument is a moronic argument. If it costs 5X over right now to run a full node most already running one would still do it.

Running a node is something people do because they want to. People spend a lot more than the cost of a big SSD on tons of shit just because they want it. This is no different.

Our argument about the cost of storage is as stupid as the BCH shitcoiners arguments about this mythical "poor person in Africa" in the middle of a desert that can't use LN because they can't afford an LN node.
