In case someone wants to build bitcoin nodes as beginner! Do you see bitcoin core as a good software to support the running of the node?

If you are a beginner,  you should start with electrum. Move some coins first, buy in an exchange, sell, move to your wallet, etc.

Then when you understand what is going on, invest in your hardware to run a full bitcoin node.
