Agree & disagree.

Agree that nodes should be more spread throughout the world rather than just being centralized in one area, because if a blackout occurs there it will turn off all decentralized power in that area. Disagree because according to theory the greater the number of units running nodes, the higher the level of decentralization of a network.

I don't know why there are always such pessimistic people in these threads. There were also pessimistic people when Bukele started buying bitcoin and I'm sure there will be negative people when strategic reserves are set up in various countries.

In a more simplified way, more nodes seem to me to be very good news. Then we can debate whether this concentration of nodes or other aspects are not as positive as they might seem at first glance. But there is one aspect that seems to me to be extremely positive for the population and that I don't see that anyone has commented on: Bukele wants to put a computer in every house, and I doubt very much that every house has a computer as of today in El Salvador.
