Great post.
When it comes to the current disagreement in bitcoin:
One side prioritizes keeping blocks lean for future nodes and the ability for the next generations to self sufficently run them.
The other side says your node doesnt matter, only "economic nodes" matter. Pruned nodes are fine, and nodes cant define what a transactions purpose should be because thats "censorship".
I write this only to say rational bitcoiners who think in the long term and value pleb nodes should speak up and make their stances known.
