I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.

I guess the people who are priced out of the base layer won’t directly benefit from running a node, which is fine. Possibly they wouldn’t run a node anyway.

100k nodes around the world is a fine number. The federal reserve is only 1 node!
