Show support for #BTC. Run a full node
-
How would one know how diverse are the nodes one is trusting? Are all of them accepting the new FedCoin inflation rule? Are they really just one big.... PayPal?
Besides, what about relaying, shunning, S2X and UASF? 
Much of this is common knowledge, knowable by credible opinion, but if one doubts the credible opinion one should indeed run their own full node. Casual users rely on such opinions much like they rely on brand names when they purchase other consumer products.

The fact that the Fed prints dollars is common knowledge. The relevant question is how to prevent it. It cannot be prevented if wallets trust some anonymous party to validate for them, and cannot be prevented if some non-anonymous party does so.

They don't have to trust"some anonymous party", they only have to trust the results of an extremely reliable network, 100s of jurisdictionally diverse nodes any one of which can yell on the internet if they catch any of the rest of them accepting invalid txs.

There is no way to validate people yelling in the Internet.
