"One of Bitcoin’s most fascinating properties is the fact you can have a level of security that once was only available to the people in power. You can verify that a payment is valid (you’re not receiving fool’s gold) without any special tool. You can make sure the monetary policy is being followed without needing to trust anyone’s information. But to achieve this, you have to run a node. Your security dramatically declines if you’re using someone else’s node. But running a node has historically been an onerous task, requiring a good 24/7 running computer and a good internet connection. Floresta changes that by enabling you to run a full node on almost any device, without hassle."
