Edit: removed my opinion of Scott from the body

Notes -
You don't need a validation node to "participate in decentralized network with validations", much like how you don't need to own a supercomputer to run your code on one.
I am not sure what do you mean by this. Why would I even want to run some code on a supercomputer?
From time to time I'm doing a work project that needs a lot of compute to properly converge. Now this isn't that common an occurrence, to the point that 95% of the time I'm not using one, but for the other 5% of the time it's absolutely necessary, unless I want to wait six months running the code on my office desktop, by which time the signal I'm investigating may well have disappeared. Hence we rent out compute time on a supercomputer from Amazon and this works well for the firm even though owning a supercomputer is not practical as 1) We're not in that line of business and 2) The majority of the time It'd be lying idle doing nothing.
You have a specific job but I don't. Although you could say that by posting here and on reddit I am probably using code that runs on some Amazon cloud services or whatever but that is too indirect.
I just wanted to see if I could be a part of bitcoin network without any extra expense by using my own laptop. It wasn't really possible.
