You’ll often hear Bitcoiners say, “Only economic nodes matter.”

Economic nodes do have more influence, sure, but non-economic nodes aren’t useless.

Even running a solo node makes you more sovereign than someone who always relies on others’ nodes. You can verify the rules, broadcast your own transactions, more closely monitor updates, and in a worst-case scenario, help reboot the network with a full copy of Bitcoin’s history.
