I'll zap 1000 sats to anyone who gives me ONE reason/argument as to why we still can't have #bitcoin Core (or any other node implementation) on our phones in 2025.
🔹Smartphones are far more powerful than Raspberry Pi's or old laptops.
🔹Many of us already have cheap, unlimited 5G data plan and bandwidth.
🔹A 10GB pruned node is enough for 99.99% of people. You don't need all the block data from the past 15 years...
🔹Initial syncing speeds can already be dramatically increased with snapshots of pre-synced timechain data (see jaonoctus project).
🔹The node doesn't need to be always online, just when you're moving uxtos, it can quickly sync to the latest block, so battery is not an issue.
