So it should be possible to break Bitcoin's consensus mechanism via node creation? Aren't nodes ridiculously cheap to set up?
Walk me through what you mean by boldface above, what are the potential outcomes?
You are generally a troll and "cunt" that I ignore but I will make an exception because this appears to be a valid question :
What is of importance is the economic majority that backs those nodes. A node is only as secure and useful to the network insomuch as it has unique and active users behind such nodes. Thus nodes that are in control of exchanges/merchants/processors/Wallets are typically more important than regular nodes and nodes without active users can be malicious.
Case in point - A certain btc company recently decided to assist the community with a PR stunt by deploying hundreds of nodes with multiple amazon Ec2 instances without users actively securing them and using them. This type of deployment hurts the bitcoin ecosystem and makes it less decentralized.
Another way to understand the power dynamic is what good or mined coins from 75% of the mining community if the other 75% of the economic majority doesn't except them in their stores, exchanges , or in person. Their currency would suddenly become worthless in a short while.
