You can't verify without a node. Without one, you're trusting someone else, and the whole point of Bitcoin is that you don't have to. Keeping the cost of running a node low enough that ordinary people...
I think that's both a logical & a technical fallacy, because dozens of thousands of nodes are already verifying the blockain. If there was any fraudulous transaction in there, we'd know, or else it's utterly broken.
The idea that everyone needs to verify the blockchain is not only preposterous, it's also a complete misunderstanding of Satoshi explicit design, and reading that kind of crap from a new node implementation isn't great at all. 🤔
If you understand Bitcoin, then you know that *you can trust the network as a whole not to include any fraudulous transaction*, you're definitely no just "trusting someone else", duh!
