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.

As you say, it is not possible for everyone, because not every member and every wallet owner uses a laptop or computer. Many wallet owners use mobiles, which is why it is not possible for them to run a note. A Bitcoin note requires 500 plus GB to run, so it will never be possible for a common person.
So if I am not mistaken, then of course I can say that you can use a powerful software wallet. Or you can run a Bitcoin note to store your Bitcoins as you like.
