If you have even a passing interest in Bitcoin and its future, you should be running a Bitcoin node - and a Lightning node, too.

I know, I know you probably think that running a Bitcoin node is only for shadowy super coders or hardcore Bitcoin enthusiasts with a technical background. You probably even heard Elon Musk say recently that "the average person is never going to be running a full node," but in fact, nothing could be further from the truth, especially today, in light of recent developments, and with the ease-of-use of some Bitcoin Node software such as Umbrel, RaspiBlitz, or MyNode.

And in this video, I'm going to explain not only what a Bitcoin node actually is, but also the many reasons why you, yes, YOU should definitely be running one.
