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.
A full Bitcoin node requires 700 GB of storage to run. This is not always easy. You can download a full node in purn mode with just a few GB storage, but it will never be a fully functional node. After a certain amount of block are downloaded, they will be synced to the blockchain and those blocks will be deleted and new blocks will be downloaded. If someone keeps full downloads of Bitcoin, then of course it is good, but usually it is not necessary because there are many types of software and hardware wallets where you can hold your Bitcoin in a completely secure way.
