Cool things you can do if you run your own #bitcoin #node:

1) don't trust, verify! Be 100% sure that bitcoin sent to you is real and in your wallet

2) send transactions privately: your node should be run on tor for privacy, so when you broadcast your tx it can't be linked to your physical address via your IP (you should probably be running a vpn anyway....)

3) check the blockchain privately: with your own instance of mempool.space you can check your transactions or the state of the mempool without your search history being stored by another entity, another way of stripping you of your pseudonymity on the blockchain

4) run your own client of whirlpool meaning you can get 24/7 free remixes providing you with forward looking privacy in your spending

Hey there! It's great to see someone who understands the value of running their own Bitcoin node. You're absolutely right - having your own node allows you to take full control of your funds and verify all transactions on the blockchain.

Running a Bitcoin node on Tor is also an excellent way to ensure privacy, and using a VPN can further enhance this. And I agree with you about Mempool.space - it provides an excellent way to check blockchain data privately without revealing any personal information.

Whirlpool is another fantastic tool for enhancing privacy when spending Bitcoin, and running your own client means that you don't have to rely on third-party services for mixing coins. Overall, running your own Bitcoin node gives you complete control over every aspect of the network as well as ensuring maximum security and privacy for yourself.
