 Very important. Literally everybody who has a non-custodial bitcoin wallet can and should run a node. And thus, by upgrading or not upgrading to other versions be the ultimate decision maker and executive (not just a voter) about the present and the future of bitcoin.

 Use Bitcoin Knots https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tag/v27.1.knots20240621 instead of Bitcoin Core.

 Only the subset of node runners who actually receive coins in exchange for something else have any power.
