Building Your Own Node
I’m going to teach you how to build your very own Bitcoin node. By the end, you’ll have something that you can open on your computer that will look like this:
I always like to let people know what they’re getting into before going very far in my articles, so here it is:
- This entire project will definitely cost some money (about $250 USD at time of writing, although you should be able to shop around for something much cheaper and used if you really want to)
- You don’t need to know how to code
- You do need some great computer literacy (installing programs, feeling confident working with SD cards, etc.)
- Once you have the parts (more on that below) you’ll need several hours of time to set everything up
You know I’m all about typing up code to build awesome things, but that’s for another day. This tutorial doesn’t require code because I want everyone to be able to participate!

If you don’t have them already, you’ll need two main things — a Raspberry Pi, and an external SSD. Here’s what I recommend:
- Raspberry Pi 5 kit from Amazon ~ -18% $80.79 USD
- WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive – Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,250 MB/s – WDS200T4X0E [New Version] ~ -25% $119.99 USD
Those aren’t sponsored links. They’re just recommendations.
We do not write articles that trick you into buying stuff.
Also, as a fairly frugal person myself, I know it’s not fun to spend lots of money.
The great thing about what you’re buying here is that none of these parts are specific to Bitcoin.
What’s Needed To Buy
collect the following parts:
2TB or larger SSD (with a USB A-type connection cord)
Raspberry 4 Pi or Pi 5
Raspberry 4 Pi or Pi 5 case & fan
Raspberry Pi 45 power supply
Ethernet cable
16GB or larger microSD card
