A $30 SBC such as RPi 3 with a $50 SSD is more than enough to run a full Bitcoin node with full history. You can share with a blockchain explorer or Lightning node without performance being a problem. Many people with little technical knowledge do this. Even a leftover smartphone from yesteryear should be capable of running a full node, as long as you scale storage appropriately. I synced a full BTC node from scratch on budget hardware last week, took about 2 days total. Meanwhile, a full tracing archive ETH node took >4 months on a dedicated 8c16t CPU, 64GiB DDR4 RAM and tiered NVMe + SATA SSD for the 8TiB.
