Yerify doesn t mean anything - you can verify what your e-Banking client shows - and go moaning about
Signature verification, checking UTXO not spend twice, checking the input actually exist, etc.
His motive for posting that is for a follow-up debate that users "don't need to run full nodes". OK, maybe we don't, MAYBE, but should the Core developers remove our ability to run one, and undershoot network security?
Nobody can remove anyone to run things for Bitcoin - this is sheer open for all, for good.
Running things comes with a cost (and here I think better high for a few good miners, instead high fees for users)
Only if you get incentives for good infrastructure, you think and are really willing to help it runs best for all users - for low fees.
