Here is my opinion. If you are technically capable, then you don't have to buy shit to have a rock solid implementation.

When someone is trying to selling you stuff to buy it should raise a BIG red flag.

1. Always self-host everything as much as possible.

2. Spin up a VM instance dedicated to #bitcoin stuff only.

3. What to run Bitcoin Core/Knots spin up a second VM instance.

As for #bitcoin vrs #monero, I would gain rock solid understanding of #bitcoin before consider anything else if you want to avoid the school of hard knocks.

I would start with the Sparrow wallet.

If you need deeper guidance check out my blog post on how to implement stuff. cadayton.onrender.com/blog

Nice blog site! Will give it up a red for sure.

Self hosting is my moto, however, it’s hard to use a node when I’m moving.

The node is good if you are static at your own place, if I am more nomads, what would be better?

When u say node do you mean Lightning or Bitcoin Node. I've have a Lightning node running (BTCPay server) in OCI with zero hosting costs for the last three years. One of my blogs covers how to do this.

If you are moving around a lot, then you'd have to shutdown your VM(s) for a short period. No getting around that.
