> I think the market is the node runners + the demand for the kind of txs ppl want to use. Why do you think the market is only the node runners?
when people say "market", they mostly mean miner fees only. thats why i added it there.

github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin being a central repo for bitcoin is the issue.
not all, but many people contribute to that repo. because they wanna be a "bitcoin dev", like the devs in shitcoins. bitcoin core is a node software, but many people active in that repo not because they wanna better software, no they are there because they wanna change or update what bitcoin is. because that repo is a central piece.
this creates a mind set of "changing what bitcoin is", not mindset of "im making a software for people to use as their bitcoin node/wallet", there is no user friendly bitcoin node competition. this causes them to forget about bitcoin users/node runners. which causes "anyone should be able to run a node" foundation of bitcoin to be forgotten, ignored, while doing changes to it.
thats why bitcoin core repo should have been archived a long time ago.
we should have continued the development with different alternative implementations. we need protocol ossification.
running a full node is already hard enough. sync for a week, and if you dont have unlimited internet plan even more harder.
then have at least 600GB space. if you wanna use it you have to index the whole thing which takes 60GB even more space. if your pc has 1tb disk space and you have games, you basically have no space for the full node.
bitcoin IS the people running a node/using bitcoin.
being able to run a node, the of ux and ui of the node, and customizability of that node is maybe the most important things for decentralization. but nobody cares about these, because they dont wanna serve for users/nodes.
anyway maybe its a dumb idea but thats why im trying to make my own node implementation. i know its gonna have issues, but at least its gonna try to achieve these and more for the users.
i hope a lot more people are doing the same.
