> Ethereum is already processing double the transactions of Bitcoin

Take a look at the charts here, http://bc.daniel.net.nz

It's not "free" to process more transactions. At some point you are no longer p2p and decentralized when the requirements to run a node go up so high, so quickly .

I'm not sure on the exact details, but I believe those are full nodes. I believe there are also light nodes that are only a few gb in size when you sync them (e.g. a lot of the historical less relevant data is truncated).

I'm assuming those full nodes will eventually be intended to be run in data centers.
