Could you please elaborate on the concept of Bitcoin nodes in a concise manner? In the realm of cryptocurrency and finance, nodes are often referenced as integral components of a decentralized network. However, I'm curious to understand what specific role Bitcoin nodes play and how they contribute to the overall functioning of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Are they solely for transaction verification or do they have additional responsibilities? Furthermore, what are the requirements for becoming a Bitcoin node operator and what are the incentives for participating in this network? Thank you for clarifying these points.
