> to be secure there has to be some barrier to running a validator

There only has to be a barrier for receiving rewards. Bitcoin full nodes validate everything but receive no rewards, and need no barriers.

True, my phrasing was misleading (I used the Ethereum terminology, where a validator is not just any node that validates the chain, but one that participates in consensus). Edited my comment accordingly

And the barrier of 32 ETH.

I run one of the eth validator serious for LIDO. We have 10 validator keys for testnet (prater/goerli now just Goerli) and around 1000 for mainnet ethereum on the beacon chain (which will be the consensus chain post mainnet merge).

For those curious, 32ETH is between $1-3k USD depending on where you're temporarily located within the last 6 months, currently ~1.8k.

OP probably made the mistake because if you Google "32 ETH in USD" it shows you how much 1 ETH in USD is.
