Praying this is the start of the bear market down to $10k ๐ค๐ค

Bitcoin education and posts to prevent people from swapping Bitcoin for something worth less than sand (fiat).
Why are people selling me their sats so cheap? Sure I'll take em off your hands ๐
Now that bip-444 has been put out there, you should be able to tell that "We hate spam as much as you!" was a lie.
Bitcoin core30 is malware that tricks your computer into accepting and relaying 100 kb files of data. Incredibly reckless to run! Be careful out there folks
As of block 924,000
95% of the bitcoin supply that will ever be mined, has been mined.
Huge milestone ๐
Knots adoption going parabolic.
Suck it spam loving core cucks.
1000 knots 29.1 nodes came online overnight. Combining both knots releases now adds up to more nodes than Core 29.0.0!
Well done, you're on the right side of history. Don't ease up the fight now.
CORE 30 KILLS BITCOIN THE DAY IT IS RELEASED.
If you've never run a node before, simply take your beat up old laptop and:
Go on bitcoin knots github
Press lateat releases
Install the package relevant to your OS.
Run the application.
Open the config file and write: prune=2000
Let it sync (may take ~1 week)
This is a huge first step and will show you that running a node is not difficult at all, and my bet is that you'll be running a full node after doing this just for fun and out of your own curiousity.
For years we've told gold bugs that other non-monetary uses of gold are actually an impediment to it's function as money.
Nows the time to show that we believe that with bitcoin.

I no longer have doors on my car.
The thief can always just smash the windows and get in, so doors are pointless.
Upgrading to Core 30 kills bitcoin. It's as simple as that.
We have case studies of bitcoin forks making the exact change Core are forcing through. It ended up with illicit material in the chain instantly.
Migrating to Knots is more than just a virtue signal, it's showing core that they can't fuck with our money, and that NODES ARE IN CONTROL.
If you're running Core you're voting that miners are in control, and that nodes must bend over backwards to accommodate their ever increasing demands.
This is so obvious by now, tbh I'm appalled that Knots is only at 18% and not 80%. I thought bitcoin was a community that could see through bullshit and do simple logic.

The coinbase insolvency blow up will be epic. No one's coming to save you. Protect yourself - you and only you are responsible for yourself.
Cold store your sats in a coldcard in the meantime, and start learning how to use geographically distributed multisig.
In case someone lied to you, bear markets will still be a thing in the future.
Train your mind not to care about the price of dollars in sats, think only of the price of the goods you wish to obtain in bitcoin.
Would people benefit from me making small tutorials on server running, node running, and self sovereignty/privacy in general?
If you're not running your own node and asking it about your own transactions, you've never used bitcoin.
You wouldn't use nostr by asking your friend that has it to post something everytime you want something posted - and that's just something trivial. Why are you doing it with your money, the most important thing of all.
The rate of block download during IBD once you get to around block 800k should be reason alone to filter OP_RETURN.
If you're unsure how, simply put this line in your bitcoin.conf file:
datacarrier=0
Nodes cannot become expensive/cumbersome to run, or bitcoin is just an even worse ethereum.
What are some excuses you've heard made for not running a node?
Comment below!
The best way to orange pill your friends is to simply send them some bitcoin to a simple custodial lightning wallet that they can download on their phone, then 5 years later tell them to check the balance.
When they see that "it's gone up 10x"! explain to them that it hasn't, they have the same number of sats; it is actually the dollar that has gone down to one tenth of it's former value.
I want to help as many people as possible get a node running
Ask me anything!
Bitcoin core is malicious software that strips your rights to tune YOUR node how YOU like.
Be smart. Run knots.
