If #bitcoin is the reserve asset, the node runners are the financial reserves system. The payment system and media are being developed - LN, Cashu, etc. Not everyone will run nodes. Most people's eyes glaze over when you talk money and finance. That won't change rapidly.. Most will just have spending wallets with their assets and savings on another's node. It's why the institutions are rushing in.

We are so effing early!

Morning, appreciate the input 🤙

So if Bitcoin becomes this financialized asset, and the pleb noderunners gradually disappears. Doesn't this post a risk long term (more opaqeness, more centralization etc)?

If the pleb noderunners are the ones who started all this, why would they gradually disappear? From my perspective this hypothesis is similar to email and physical mail boxes. Just because almost the entire world uses email, that doesn't mean that homes are no longer being built with a physical mail box. So, I think there will always be a pleb running a routing node somewhere because collecting network fees is the next step after hyperbitcoinization, and don't forget that You can always sell your Bitcoin peer 2 peer, because that's one of its principle creations.
