I really enjoyed my interview with FutureBit's John S about the importance of every node and every Bitcoin miner for decentralization and security of the overall network. John shared more about the solo miner that recently found a block and the mission that drives him:

@FutureBit @JStefanop1 Great interview!
@FutureBit @JStefanop1 John's the man!
@FutureBit @JStefanop1 The idea that I could assist in helping secure the Bitcoin network for everyone is what moved me to host a node. Though I could've put the hardware together myself, I personally think the Apollo II is a work of art and went that route. It's an honor to do my part. 🖤
@FutureBit @JStefanop1 Awesome. Just sad you're sold out of miners. I was looking forward to adding a third to my setup for Christmas.
@FutureBit @JStefanop1 Its the bitcoin story The story of self costody
@FutureBit @JStefanop1 Do you run a node Natalie? Show some pictures of it …
!["I used to be a bitcoiner. The transition to a new store of value only happens once every 3,000 years. That's the main prize -- just focus on that. But [security] is the criteria that ultimately convinced me to flip from Bitcoin to ETH." "I have a higher degree of certainty that Ethereum will be around longer [than Bitcoin]. The reason for that is because Bitcoin relies on proof-of-work, which is less efficient than proof-of-stake and doesn't scale with the value of the network. And as the block subsidy of Bitcoin halves every four years, it is increasingly becoming more and more reliant on transaction fees to fund the security budget paid to miners." "If you look at [Bitcoin's] security budget right now, about 0.6% of revenue to miners is transaction fees... The problem with that is if Bitcoin becomes 'digital gold', flips gold, and becomes a $30 trillion asset, but it only costs $10-20 billion to attack it, that's too asymmetric." "You want the security budget to scale with the market cap, similar to how countries spend a % of their GDP on defense. The more valuable something is, the more you need to spend to protect it." "Ethereum, with the Merge, migrated to proof-of-stake, which is fundamentally more secure because it's less reliant on transaction fees and it scales with the value of the network. If 1/3rd of ETH is staked and then you need 1/3rd of those ETH to censor the network, you're looking at roughly 10% of the total market cap as the cost to attack the network." "So if Ethereum flips Bitcoin and gold and becomes a $30 trillion asset, it'll cost ~$3 trillion to attack the Ethereum network versus Bitcoin at like $10 billion." "The other aspect here is that as AI hyperscalers invest more and more in AI, proof-of-work becomes increasingly vulnerable because the cost to attack the Bitcoin network is starting to look close to the quarterly CapEx these hyperscalers are spending on their data centers."
