I'll zap 1000 sats to anyone who gives me ONE reason/argument as to why we still can't have #bitcoin Core (or any other node implementation) on our phones in 2025.

🔹Smartphones are far more powerful than Raspberry Pi's or old laptops.

🔹Many of us already have cheap, unlimited 5G data plan and bandwidth.

🔹A 10GB pruned node is enough for 99.99% of people. You don't need all the block data from the past 15 years...

🔹Initial syncing speeds can already be dramatically increased with snapshots of pre-synced timechain data (see jaonoctus project).

🔹The node doesn't need to be always online, just when you're moving uxtos, it can quickly sync to the latest block, so battery is not an issue.

There is only one reason you cannot have a bitcoin node on your phone…. The small number of people capable of creating it have not been interested in doing so. You have to sit patiently waiting for someone with skills to decide that is how they want to spend their time. You can speed the process of someone getting interested by offering them a lot of money to do so.
