The problem are.miners, it is pretty.innaccessible to be a miner. That's a major isuue for me.
Block production is pretty much in hands of the wealthy.
Any correlation between be wealthy and run a honest node? Not any under my eyes. Skipping the part of the narrative saying 'they are honest bcs they have skin in the game'. That's not scientific to me.
Block validation yes, the network is pretty decentralized.
Thanks.
