If you trust someone else's Bitcoin node to tell you that you now control an UTXO, do you really control that UTXO?

I recently had the opportunity to install Umbrel and StartOS multiple times and now I have a stable setup that keeps me sovereign.

But every node connects to someone else's node and the chain trusts the majority of nodes. If your node is not part of the 51% (of nodes that mine), your UTXO is going nowhere. Although I do love the Umbrel products as a way to help #Bitcoiner self-sovereignty
