It's like ordering food vs cooking it yourself Cheesy nodes are veery necessary but running one isn:t mandatory. Btc would be dead if they were mandatory, they help with decentralization but they're kinda resource hungry

Not only that, running a Bitcoin node will create more privacy and security, which will allow you to hold Bitcoin more confidently and boldly in the future. And there are many other things that can help increase the total number of Bitcoin nodes, but if you run a Bitcoin node, your benefits will be greater.
That is why running a Bitcoin node is very important, security will increase and you can hold Bitcoin safely.

Not everyone has to run a full node but for those who value Bitcoin’s decentralization and verifying their own transactions, at least running a node is a good option, I ran Bitcoin Core myself.  Another big advantage is that you don’t have to rely on a third party server when you connect your wallet to your own node. Honestly this will actually give you peace of mind.

Yes, I often hear this phrase, "Don't trust, verify", but already a huge quantity of people have run nodes and that is being verified. So if I run a node, where is my benefit here? I am sorry if I have brought up a previous discussion.
Before that I want to ask you if many people vote, so what is the value of one vote? The power of Bitcoin is that everyone can verify the rules themselves if they want.  The more independent nodes there are, the less the network will depend on a few large services or organizations. So even if your node doesn’t change the entire network, it makes you more independent in your use of Bitcoin and at the same time makes a small but real contribution to the decentralization of the network.

The answer I would have loved to give is that, yes every Bitcoin investor should be able to run their own Bitcoin node but that's unlikely to happen because not everyone here is for the privacy that the industry offers. Some people are just here for the money gain from price appreciation and alot of them fall under this category. Still, if you have the privilege to run your own Bitcoin node then do it as it offers you a lot of privacy. I haven't ran a Bitcoin node before but that doesn't mean I won't try to do it in the future, just that I'm not that big yet in transacting with Bitcoin right now as it's accumulating I'm big on to position myself well for good wealth accumulation.
This is why we have fewer people running nodes, and also the reason NotATether started a Node challenge, so we can have more people supporting the network and helping decentralization, although not many people keep the node running after the 14 days challenge.

There are other ways of supporting Bitcoin if one is not helping the network by running nodes, at least by buying and selling will increase adoption.
