noun | fʊl nəʊd
Running a full node is like being the designated driver of the blockchain - you're not doing it for the glory, but because someone's gotta keep this party bus on the road. It's the crypto equivalent of being a responsible adult, making sure everyone's transactions are valid and above board, even if it means missing out on some sick gains.
Example
"I set up a full node in my mom's basement and now I feel like the unsung hero of the decentralized revolution - sure, I may not have a girlfriend or a social life, but at least I'm doing my part to secure the network and stick it to the man."
"Running a full node is like being a hall monitor for the blockchain - you're not the most popular kid in school, but you're making sure everyone follows the rules and doesn't try to cheat the system. It ain't much, but it's honest work."
