The time of 120 years to mine the remaining 2.4 million Bitcoins is a bit absurd.
Why? Mining the last Bitcoin faster is not a necessity.

You're a factor 12 off. Bitcoin has worked fine for many years the way it is. Let's not change it for someone who's terrible at math.

The list of nodes is an estimate. There is no official list of all Bitcoin nodes.
