If you think that’s the argument you are lost.
The idea that running a node is a good enough commitmet vs putting money into a futures contract is laughable. My node costs a trivial amount annually.
Even if you wanted to use node count as a proxy, it hardly helps your case as v 30.2 is higher than all knots releases. The bip-110 nodes count is minimal. But even if all knots nodes go that way(they won’t) we still see a situation where a minority support your position.
Bitcoin is anarchy so run whatever node you want but don’t expect anyone to take you seriously if you won’t put your money where your mouth is.
