Idk who needs to hear this but you are only “running Bitcoin” if you run a node
On the bright side, sats can still be sent to cold storage without your own node, and at least for now, you’re very unlikely to be censored by whatever node you’re hooked up to
what does it even mean to be "running bitcoin"
Please Login to reply.
To run the code/the protocol
yeah
guess i'm "sitting bitcoin" then
Btw to clarify my point, nodes serve valid transactions to miners which they use to find blocks. So if you don’t run your own node, you trust that whatever default node you do use will not censor you (also privacy and stuff to consider here)
