Oh! That is also an option, I keep forgetting! Is there an advantage doing that? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

Sure, there are a lot more reasons to run a node than just payments. Youโ€™re supporting decentralization, enabling privacy, and verifying your own UTXOs.

Makes sense. I am new to all of these so thatโ€™s why I am asking! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿซก

Have you read this book? It was the nodes (the users) that prevented the big blockers from forcing bitcoin to accept new rules.

Such a good book! Literally David vs Goliath

Thanks for sharing. Downloaded. ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿงก. Also, loving Bitcoin for Bunnies.

Glad youโ€™re enjoying it. Iโ€™m definitely going to quote this book in an upcoming one.
