Lightning node? Or bitcoin node? Everyone should run a bitcoin node. Not everyone needs to run a lightning node, and most of those who do choose to should run a private node with private channels and not a routing node.

Lightning nodes will be a major thing, yhe next step once you have your bitcoin node running. Learn.
Running a routing node is a great way to learn. After that shut it down and run private channels for you own payments.
Yes, I'm in that path leerning how to manage node and channels, and put maybe a dangerous amount of sats in the hope of some revenew. I will, in the end, doing what you are saying. Thx for the advice.
