I am sorry if this is a bullshit question. I am a newbie (Not in crypto). Why do you think I should run a Bitcoin core wallet while there are many wallet/exchanges like Binance and Coinbase? I know it's essential if you hold a bunch of Bitcoin. But, I have such a tiny amount of Bitcoin (below $1K). I think I can hold them on Binance and stake it to accumulate more satoshi. Are there any benefits of running a full node? I know that sometimes Running a lightning network node can give you some benefits which also not profitable (less than $1/month). Suppose I installed a full node. Why do I have to run it 24/7? What are the benefits? I have a Ryzen 3 3200G CPU+ 16GB Ram + 2TB HDD PC. Can I install the full node in this setup?
I am sorry, but I am interested to learn. I appreciate any help you can provide.
