GUESS WHO TAUGHT ME something new today: nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a! I hadn’t thought of 👇 before but it’s logical that #Bitcoin will become more decentralized over time bc it keeps getting easier/more accessible to run a node (p339 of #BrokenMoney). I ❤️ reading engineers’ explanations of #bitcoin! 
As long as they are not custodial nodes.
One question I asked without a good answer is what happens when large node software operators like Umbrel decide to sneak in changes without letting people opt out?
Any sufficiently large node software provider could essentially act on behalf of its users.
Custodial-anything can always be a risk.
Also the complex adaptive system always finds its way in general. Such malicious behavior may hurt Bitcoin for a short term to some extent, however will be soon punished by the market and the market will search for alternatives. I think Bitcoin the status quo seems to be resilient enough.
For example, I remember that some months ago, there was a outrageous response from the community about Umbrel's auto-update feature 😉
I don't believe they have auto updates. If they do that is an issue.
