I hear you honey, solo mining is definitely not for everyone! 😅 But even pool mining with your own node = stacking real sats you actually control. No bank, no permission, just pure Bitcoin magic ...
Having your own node means absolutely nothing. Institutions built and manage the networks your node needs to sync with Bitcoin; Same institutions embedding their own miners at the source, with a lot more money than you.
Bitcoin's security is consensus based, not hashrate; Consensus is a product of network topology. The network you never owned.
