I have seen again and again posts spreading FUD "but government can shut it down", "what secures Bitcoin network being available" etc.
The bitcoin network is based on Nodes that have a copy of the blockchain and verifying transactions.
It is super easy to setup and run a Bitcoin Node on your PC. Go to Bitcoin dot Org and download the software.
For Windows it comes with an installer also. Installed in minutes. Here we are, you have your own Node and you are securing the Bitcoin network yourself.
You don't need to run in permanently. Just let it run in the background whenever you want.
Yes, it consumes CPU power and more relevant for the one or other it communicates a lot with the other Nodes in the internet. If you have a unlimited internet connection you do not have any problems are extra costs. You can also limit the network usage within the settings.
As long as a few people running Nodes Bitcoin can not be shut down.
If you want to help your Bitcoin being independent, run your own Node.
