And another question that came to my mind while reading the OP was , why do i need to download the entire bitcoin blockchain data when I am not a developer? I mean what is the essence actually,
for me is just a sense of pride, I don't know next. maybe when having the time I want to learn how to make a Lighting network node, and earning satoshi from that, or create a wallet and be a developer like you said.

and there is no harm if we have unused internet at home and pc because is not disturb also when running my pc with another program.

actually, I step to download a bit by bit, certainly not so felt long if in the future I make the blockchain program or etc.


well, set aside the pride and all. if you are not a developer, there's no reason for you to download such heavy data. am using electrum right now for my btc holdings. light and txs are fast as well. i was using the btc core before but yeah, it came to a point i ask myself why i was using it.
