Someone explain to me why I should update the bitcoin core version I downloaded and verified 5 years ago, it still works fine #asknostr #bitcoin

Idk Bro, I feel like if it's up to date you don't need to.
What do you think big shooter?
I dont see the point in updating it, its 5 years old, I could just run this version until I expire, what difference would it make
That's what I'm thinking.
Which version would you change to if to did?
Do you consider running a second node to do both, rather than restarting this one? From what I pretend to understand, more nodes the better
I'm not smart enough to know what versions best thats why I asked if theres any real benefit to updating, looks like they improve stuff like ddos attacks, I've never had my node ddosed its always just worked.
The op return drama just confuses the casual node runner like myself, I dont get it, that's why I'm just kicking back running my old version until someone smarter than me can convince me otherwise

Eventually, if, potential security vulnerabilities are discovered. That could compromise your stack, your ability to run the node, identity and in general personal or digital life.
Risks can be minimized by running the node in isolation on a separate computer. Also, ensure secure home network configuration 👍
