Now that the dark Marxist forces controlled by the WEF are entering the #Bitcoin  arena, I can’t emphasis this enough:

RUN YOUR OWN F* #BITCOIN  NODE. Nodes are the ones enforcing the rules, not miners! You vote with the #Bitcoin  version you are running on your OWN #Bitcoin  node.

Running your own #Bitcoin  node is as important as storing your own #Bitcoin  keys.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to run your own #Bitcoin  node for about $200

Thanks. I read your article. Couple of noob questions:

1). Does running a node assume you are on a VPN?

2) In the event of a government crackdown on, say, running a node and using Bitcoin, what are your options? Flee to El Salvador or a friendly jurisdiction and try to spend Bitcoin or convert to fiat to live on?

Far out, but I wonder about that scenario.

1) Depends which client your are using to run your node. Umbrella for example runs on TOR.

2) It’s very hard to crack down on #Bitcoin nodes bc people/gov has to enter your house and crack down on your node physically.

How do they know you are running a node in the first place and how are they going to find your node?

I mean we are imagine truly unbelievable times and yea if the gov is entering my home and searching for a node, I am definitely moving out of Europe.

If governments can read everything on your phone, including your location, I assume they can track a node back to you.

i would add that almost everybody has an old pc. Add an 1gb ssd, install oracle vm, install umbrel and start your node.

It is not necessary for everyone to run a node, and it will never happen. 🤙

The more the better.

Accordingly. 🤝

Noderunners will always be specialized users who do the work others don’t want to or simply can’t handle. Everyone who wants to should run one, and there are new emerging ways to run personal nodes on your phone that don’t require a hardware investment. For everyone else, there will always be custodial options, because that’s just what most people are used to.
