According to Samson Mow (@Excellion), there are multiple trading-relevant reasons to store all Bitcoin blocks rather than simply running a pruned node, as detailed by @FractalEncrypt. Retaining the entire blockchain enables full auditability and independent transaction verification, which strengthens network security and decentralization—key factors influencing crypto market confidence and long-term price stability (source: Twitter/@Excellion, @FractalEncrypt). Mow also highlights that non-developer users ('plebs') understand node operations, which supports a broader base of informed participants, potentially reducing network attack risk and contributing to Bitcoin's resilience—a critical consideration for traders evaluating on-chain robustness.
