Oddbean new post about login | logout Brothers and sisters, I am not a writer Or an influencer So I will be brief But nothing more important will be said today The dollar value of Bitcoin will likely go up and make you more wealthy than you could have ever dreamed But, you must protect Bitcoin. Run a node. Support FOSS Support companies that help to decentralize mining
Well said 🤙🏻🫂💜
YES
How does running my node (Start9), help me and the Bitcoin network?
It helps you by validating that payments you receive are real. It does not help the network.
yes it does all replicas matter
one simple example is in setting a bigger mempool... then your node is keeping transactions during heavy traffic from falling out of mempools without the sender knowing
it's easy to run a node. I have 2 here on 2 machines at home they propagate megabytes of data to feed others, strengthening the network every day sometimes they may send data to miners, who knows? a hostile government will see them and know that their censorship task Will be that much bigger someday it's a fuck you to the censors feels good
Run a node to validate your incoming payments, but don't fall for the misconception that it helps the network. Miners who operate as a company are a branch of the State, they are undoing the separation of money and State.
