    Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.

    It’s actually a really good analogy,

    Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.

    because it can only run on

    No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.

    fully-capitalist hardware.

    What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.

      Please explain to me where this “open source collaborative” Internet hardware is on which you run your bitcoin network.

          Only RISC-V spec is open. Hardware is still proprietary and is using proprietary cores manufactured using proprietary tech processes. 1% open source in the product doesn’t make the product fully open source.

        Why does it matter which software we’re running? Running a Bitcoin node on something comes right after running Doom on it.

      China hasn’t been communist in a long time.
