I recently read that there are over 100k active full nodes, which is great, but more the more the merrier right?
I ran Bitcoin Core around 2018 for fun and to play around with the json-rpc api, but turned it off a bit later because of the storage requirements. A couple days ago I found an old hard drive lying around so I hooked it up to my desktop and I'm running a full node again! No plans to turn it off, since I'm going to be upgrading my computer and I have enough btc to feel like I should participate in the network.
