How to Set Up a Bitcoin Node: A Beginner’s Guide

Tags: bitcoin
DATE POSTED:January 20, 2021

Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer strength lies in its vast network of nodes. The famous saying in crypto, “not your private keys, not your coins,” extends to crypto nodes as, “Not your node, not your rules.” 

Bitcoin full nodes protect user privacy and strengthen the network’s distributed consensus. And just recently, the network hit an all-time high for active nodes, making the network all the more robust.

Running a node in crypto is analogous to having eyes in the fiat world. Without eyes, you rely on others to verify a bill you received is not counterfeit. Without a node, you rely on others to verify your coins and protect their immutability. Why would you give up your eyes?!
