Am I the only one who finds these numbers suprising and a little bit off?

There's plenty of incentives to run your own bitcoin node, the main one being privacy.

You don't need to run a monero node to be private (network-wise).

On that basis alone, there should be much more bitcoin nodes.

Isnt each monero node capable of mining ( no expert here ) ? It might mean the few people in that network are running many nodes to circumvent their mining scheme that tries to keep mining small enough to be done on an individual computer. But i agree considering how much smaller the monero network is than bitcoins, that would be quite surprising, imo.

That's a very good point, I forgot they could mine it on general pcs. That mkight skew the incentives in their favor.

Ya, from a use perspective its not really an apples to apples comparison because a bitcoin node doesnt mine.
