I don't get how this guy is still posting after implying "7000 enterprise level internet connection as full nodes" being all that's needed to keep the network running is a good thing. Is he for real?

Good question. I'm certain that people like him would not mind all those "enterprise level" nodes being run on a single datacenter as well. There were even people saying that non-mining nodes don't matter at all.

Please, don't you understand yet that 1000 nodes run by random people spread all over the world in different places under Tor, is way more secure and decentralized than 100000 nodes run by a couple corporations on their super fast internet perfectly located datacenter buildings? Please just stop it.

Indeed. Without decentralization, Bitcoin is nothing. This is why we need to work to retain as much of it as possible.

As long as them commercial ph0rks fails, bitcoin is pretty much decentralized.
