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.
Are those public nodes or just known peers?
Publicly discoverable nodes (with port 8333 open).
Juat buy non KYC coins stay off the internet Don't tell anybody you have Bitcoin.
And purchase things peer-to-peer. Privacy..
Ppl wanna advertise bitcoin and also be private 🙄
What is crazy is none of that makes Bitcoin private
Helps your anonymity though
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.
