Only economically active nodes matter. Your node just syncing in a closet does shit

My node is economical. But also the rest of the nodes verify transactions.
The nodes that actually matter are the ones used to broadcast large amounts of transactions, as they will decide which fork has the higher security budget and hence higher hash rate.
People who think that Bitcoin is immume to coersion by capital because they can run their own nodes don't understand how that consensus is formed.
