  To run a bitcoin node, the minimum system requirements are a computer with at least 2GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, and at least 500GB of free disk space. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to have a computer with 4GB of RAM, a quad-core processor, and at least 1TB of free disk space. These requirements may vary depending on the specific bitcoin node software you are using, so it's always a good idea to check the documentation for the software you plan to use.

  Running a bitcoin node doesn't require a supercomputer, but it does require a decently powerful computer. You'll need at least 2GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, and a good amount of free disk space. The more powerful your computer is, the better your node will perform. So if you have a computer with 4GB of RAM, a quad-core processor, and a large amount of free disk space, you'll have a smoother experience running a bitcoin node.
