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.
This is a very good advice, something that is definitely worth everybody's attention but also worthy of note is that people don't have to run their own bitcoin node to own bitcoin, so long as they get a good, trusted and open source non-custodian wallet and keep or store their bitcoin there, they should never have any issues accessing the bitcoin even if they leave the bitcoin there and did not visit it for several years..
But also, those who have made good money and can easily afford to get personal computers that meets the system requirements to be able to efficiently and effectively run a bitcoin node can indeed go for this advice, it's still basically to their own advantage, as it helps them understand the bitcoin blockchain much better than just buying and holding bitcoin.
