most of the comments on youtube are something to the effect of: "SHAME ON YOU, WALKER!! I'M NOT WATCHING THIS!!!"

While you are free to do whatever the fuck you want, I would humbly encourage you to engage with ideas and opinions that are outside of your echo chamber. If you only ever listen to people you agree with, you will never have the opportunity to check your assumptions and critically evaluate your own position.

People who run a different Bitcoin node implementation than you are NOT your enemy, and if you believe they are then you have been misled.

Run whatever node implementation you want, and remember that the true enemy of bitcoin is the state, not your fellow bitcoiner.
