When an individual turns on a bitcoin node, they express their will for what the rules of bitcoin should be, instantiated with robust software that allows for no exceptions. They need not turn the node on for any reasons other than those of pure self-interest. The node is not meant to add security to the network in an altruistic sense, where an additional node adds to a particular security metric. Instead, they add to the network an expression of what defines a unit of bitcoin its user will receive and spend.

he is partly right.
The Bitcoin revolution is a political revolution - not a technological one.
No shitcoin can replace money just because it has a few bells and whistles
It's all about people adopting it - and Bitcoin has the most stable and humane values that attracts people

there is good non-intuitive reason to believe that a collapse of the euro is bullish
the amount of third parties and complexity in the system makes one truly give up on trusting it in the long term
a house, lots of land, gold and bitcoin seems like the most appealing thing
that or a significant devaluation event
can’t imagine how europe manages to continue keeping the prosperity it currently enjoys. there’s nothing backing it!
