| Why do you want to be a node? | Because it's the coolest thing to participate in! On a serious note, I've had some past personal experience where my data was abused and that is truly terrible.

|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Decision making is done over various nodes in a decentralized network, all act individual, so not a single node can have the information of the entire network.
