The first time I really felt bitcoin's power was when I broadcast a transaction from my own node
If you've never done it, it's incredibly easy.
Install Bitcoin core on whatever computer you already use. No extra hardware is needed!

I know that feeling. It's gorgeous
For me it was helping a friend who had a crazy ex. No need for a banks permission to move life savings to keep it save.

Yap. It felt magical 🤙
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out.
Indeed, amazing feeling!
Did this a week ago. It was awesome. One more step down the rabbit hole.
The first time writing to the time chain is magical. Can never quite replicate it.
What about security? Doesn't it make my network more prone to attacks?
Can't say for sure, but I've been running for years and no issue. My node only accepts connections from localhost
Running a node is the 🤯 moment. No matter how long you've been around Bitcoin, that changes everything.

It is certainly memorable. Trying to get others to partake.
