What peril if you run your own node and take proper precautions?

This Samoural scandal proved that 99% of Bitcoiners are doing things the wrong way.

Trusted third parties are security holes!

People are really surprised that a proprietary hot wallet compromised their xpubs?

I guess its Karma for the characters....

99% of Bitcoiners are doing things the wrong way?! Please explain?

using hot wallets and/or custodial for their main savings and not connecting to their own node over tor or at all.

how did you gather that 99% of us are operating in this manner from the Samourai scandal?

I did not gather it from samourai scandal, I already knew it.

The samourai scandal and resulting panic simply confirmed it.

okay, how did it confirm what you already knew?

i observed the panic from the news which added to/sustained the statistic.

😅

according to bitnodes.io there are about 16000 bitcoin nodes on the network.

I guess we cant really say how many bitcoin users there are but I am quite sure its WAY more than that.

that makes sense, and I see your point
