Just says “tweet unavailable” for me, and I don’t understand how a 2mb block means a government can “seize” Bitcoin where they can’t with a 1mb block

today with a raspberry pi and a 1TB hard drive you can have a node and be one of the validators. If hardware is unattainable by the users interested in helping with decentralization (and there are few enough of those) large corporations or governments will be the only validators and defeat the purpose of decentralization
