its just like running a web server, i think people exaggerate the difficulty. There can just be bitcoin IT like how companies have web/network IT. There are benefits of having all of your private accounting on your own node.

As a basement pi4 running pleb(not to disprove my point before I make it, but in all fairness it is currently not running lol), I will say that that I have been itching for quite some time to overcome my…hardware limitations and although I wish they explained more in depth in the beginning about how this is really useless if you’re looking for something reliable w 24/7 uptime or self hosting some wallets/nodes etc. By less time than the initial hours I spent building a knowledge base completing and piecing together the project, the functionality was erasing, and some of my momentum has admittedly crawled as a result. If I didn’t the light at the end of the tunnel I can absolutely see where that loses so many people dipping their toes in.
