Run your own Bitcoin node.

Run your own Nostr relay.

A full Bitcoin node verifies all transactions and blocks to ensure that they are legitimate and in accordance with the network rules.

A personal Nostr relay provides a backup of your data and ensures that all of your notes and events are available to re-broadcast to others in the future.

Plus let’s add this:

Run your own Lightning ⚡️ node.

Become your own bank, provide liquidity to the network, route payments, earn fees.

Agree. I was oversimplifying, but you're right, if you're running a Bitcoin node, you should run a Lightning node too.
