Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her rant about Bitcoiners not running their own nodes.
“Using a Bitcoin wallet without connecting it to your own node may seem convenient, but it comes at a significant cost to your privacy and security. Every transaction made through someone else’s node exposes your metadata, including your IP address and balances, which can be tracked, analyzed, and potentially exploited by corporations or state actors."
She adds, "By running your own node, you ensure that your activity remains private and that you’re directly contributing to the resilience and robustness of the entire Bitcoin network.”
