Nodes in the peer-to-peer Bitcoin network are like moles in Whac-A-Mole game as long as cost of setting up and running a node is minimal. For example, the 100 000 nodes could easily be recreated in another non-AWS cloud environment (including USB dead drops and sneaker net).

There are ATMs and brick and mortar shops that exchange BTC/fiat in Europe.

I am anti-spam in Bitcoin and use Bitcoin Knots. There are many more of node runners like me. CEOs, MBAs and other suits centrally spamming our network will not overrule our sovereignity. I laugh at the walls of texts they publish to manipulate public opinion.

Redundant LevelDB is the culprit. There is the bug report: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31882

In short, the current implementation is not scalable. There is huge improvement possible.

Bitcoin wins, degens cry.
