I don't have a node yet. Age shouldn't be the excuse, I'm approaching 70 and my husband close to 80. Yet, I'm being a bit chicken about it. Thinking of having call with The Bitcoin Way or watching Matthew Kratter's instruction videos multiple times till I'm confident. I do have my stash on cold hard wallet and off exchange, naturally.
My husband and I were chatting about getting a designated laptop just for running a node. As I said, more education needed on my part (and confidence). Sometimes I go down the route of thinking that we'll let the young ones run nodes and mine. I feel selfish when I have those thoughts, however we can't afford at our age to lose what we have. We don't own our own home (which is another long story about banks and financial advisors, the fiat system got us good a while ago). 🤣😂🫣🧡
