Ok everyone as i said in my first post, I am new to bitcoin and new here to Noster. Looking to get a discussion going. I have been purchasing bitcoin though DCA and smash buying when I can moving to cold storage doing it the way I think is the right way. I made it here to interact more and learn more and feel the next step may be as everyone says running a node and eventually mining. Mining may be a while off for me but running a node may be possible. I have heard from some about building your own system but to be honest that's a bit over my head. Then other recommend the start9 or Umbrel style systems. Those of you who currently run a node what is your recommendation. I would love to hear your thoughts and advice.
