On the other hand, things like the Raspberry PI and similar hardware are
gaining ground fast. And they can run a node just fine.
I have many friends that run such small hardware for things like Owncloud.org
because it is decentralized. When Bitcoin gets traction with these people, I
have no doubt a nice portion of them will run a node for the same reason they
are running their private cloud. Trust No One.
Or, in other words, when Bitcoin grows in popularity and more people find it
interesting (and we fix longstanding issues in Core), the desktop node that
eventually get shut down will be replaced with the next generation hardware of
a different kind of Bitcoin user.
