Just wondering, why do you run a monero node?

How else are you going to bring up Monero in unrelated discussions about computer hardware?

That's the default setting when setting up a local wallet. It is also more private due to not being dependent on someone else's node.

You should ideally run your own node when using Monero

why? dont know much about monero just wondering.

Because with someone else's node, they can potentially track and log the transactions you make
