If you just want a Bitcoin Node, it's really easy, just don't put any BTC on it (Bitcoin core has a built-in wallet) and you've got nothing to lose.

Hardest part was deciding what hardware to run it on (raspberry pi or a laptop/pc/cloud) and if I should use a service like Umbrel or build it from sourcecode myself (I chose the last one since it's just 3 lines of commands, but you have to configure tor as well, which was fine but only do that if you're not scared of command prompt 🙂)

conclusion: everyone can do it, let me know if you need help!
