RE: Why You Should Run Your Own Blockchain Node at Home

For sure! At least, if you have the hard drive space, look at running a Bitcoin or Monero core wallet and full node. The Bitcoin Core wallet let's you choose how much you want to keep after it's all synced, but you still need the space to hold the whole download, a bit over 600GB currently. But then you can keep it purged and only keep the last however much you select to store.
