@el33th4xor @matthew_d_green People are pleading unnecessarily. There is no evidence that we are near the minimum threshold of req’d nodes.

@knucklesandwich @ddahlke I just got an Aeropress last weekend. Very nice.
The nodes comprising the network are not a resource that is being depleted. It is trivial and cheap to add more nodes.
I find this claim to be flawed b/c Tragedy of the Commons refers to a group depleting a shared, finite resource.
I keep seeing claims that Bitcoin is doomed due to lack of direct incentivization to run a node. People are claiming Tragedy of the Commons.
