šŸ“ Original message:Much of the confusion around the Bitcoin protocol is the concept that
mining nodes 'control' the network.

I suggest renaming full nodes- to something like "validator node" to
emphasize that full nodes check if blocks are valid.

Then we could say:

"Bitcoin is decentralized because anyone can run a validator node, even on
a low-end laptop."
