1. Maybe but if that guy and his friends make up the 99% of the network (In theory) Why would they listen to the 1% of little guys running 2 or 3 units at home or a handful in a DC?
Majority of retail investors I'm learning have no clue at all how this works and are entering based on fomo or trusting the guy that does understand.

2. Eth to me is a way to get my bitcoin without running crazy loud gear and an expanding mining operation out of my control, no limits on how much eth there is ,is concerning considering the value, I've read an article a while back of a guy exploiting it and basically fabricating it out of thin air. Pretty unfair you have to stake 32eth to have a say so with the new standard.(last I checked I haven't been keeping up as much these days)

3. I've personally wondered if he left around when asics came out, the point of no return if you will. Asics essentially centralized BTC in a way , starting with suppliers in particular , bitmain. Lately I've felt the only clear winners in BTC are the guys that where in early or asic sellers. I personally don't think that was Satoshi's vision. What good is a decentralized currency if majority of it's owned by the elites already?

To be clear I'm a little guy, even with a pretty good understanding how bitcoin works I don't feel like I'd have any say so where it goes, because I'm not running 1PH or even have 1BTC to stake.
I run a few nodes though

in 2022 that's not saying much.
