Hello guys, I think we all need to run a Bitcoin node, If you own Bitcoin, the safest way to know it’s really yours is to run your own node with software like Bitcoin Core. Wallet apps and devices might just show numbers, but that doesn’t guarantee you actually hold Bitcoin. Unlike gold, which became hard to trust because of fakes, Bitcoin is easy to check and you can verify it yourself. That's One of the advantages of Bitcoin guys, Setting up a node is simple, doesn’t need to run all the time, and works smoothly with Sparrow Wallet. Always remember: don’t trust, verify.
Nah, your reason of running a Bitcoin node isn't necessarily, I will rather advice people to run a node if they haven't for the experience sake or just to know more about Bitcoin, that's all.
Running a node doesn't makes your Bitcoin the safest, if you do anything stupid you will lose the Bitcoin, also Bitcoin is safe in the blockchain, a wallet is the door to move your Bitcoin around and the key is your private key or recovery seed.
Someone out there is running a public node, meaning every prune node is also the Same as you that's running your private bitcoin node, there isn't much difference here, it's not like if you are not running a private bitcoin node your Bitcoin are not safe, that's not correct.
