@John Carvalho would say: if you just hold , what is the purpose to run a node if you don’t have any of your transactions to verify? And let’s be serious home mining is a hobby for rich.

Because they don't see it as MoE
Have you noticed any differences in behavior between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Bitcoiners? Do you think some use BTC more as a payment method than others? Do you think some are more hodlers than others?
Bitcoin influencers (and all "influencing") is a "niche" that will dissolve with better technology. There's no real need to influence people. There's a need to educate people, not "influence" people. Education requires long-form patience and a compassionate mindset, and also a specific goal. Not an influencing mindset. The influencing mindset is disingenuous in nature, because it's rooted and separation, I influence you, I'm the influencer, you're the influenced. Which is like, okay? :D It's not rooted in something specific, it's not solving a particular problem per se because everything influences everything and that's meaningless by itself. i.e what are you really influencing? There's no need to influence, there's a need to share, learn, build together, work together and educate. So yeah, better tools will make people more connected to each other instead to "leaders". Everyone is a leader and a follower, depending on the topic.
all true bitcoiners are influencers but not all influencers are bitcoiners

Just saying, not saying that i am not running a node
NICE! Knots does not come bundled in Umbrel afaik If your' willing to, you could flash EmbassyOS from Start9 and that supports it. Or, even better, deep into raspibolt.org and just install Knots instead of Core
I spend sats everyday here on Nostr. But in my private life only once a month or so. And this to guys from the web. My friends are not ready for this at the moment.
I’m a huge deal in the sock influencer world tbh. Bitcoin’s a whole other ball game though.
Definitely not an influencer. I work hard, paid in fiat. Spend fiat to support family. Save/hoard in sound money. Not spending the corn until I either get paid in it or quality producers refuse my fiat. Spend trash, hoard bitcoin. The MOE era starts when the quality producers refuse fiat.
The Spanish bitcoin influencers that I know are pretty based. But I don’t really follow the scene closely enough. My gripe tends to be with the American speaking moonboy types
