Have you already got your signing device (a.k.a. hardware wallet) to self-custody your #Bitcoin⚡?

Congratulations, you're awesome 🤙!

Now run your own node.
It's not as rocket science as you might think.

You don't need to be a linux geek.
You can be an average windows user.
That's all fine.
You don't need to buy raspberry pi either.
I believe in you, anon.

Do you have ~600 GB free space on your laptop's hard drive?

That's all you need.

Download Bitcoin core, verify your download, install it. Wait till it gets synced.

Now you're your own bank verifying your own transactions.
You're my true hero 💜!

You don't need to keep running your laptop 24/7/365.
You can shut it down as usual.
Next time you'll power your laptop on, it will sync with Bitcoin network.
