I'm not going to run core v30. The core team seems a bit off. Something not right. I'm not convinced of knots but I support alternative clients and consensus compatible forks. Who actually upgrades anyway? Like what is the motivation? Nodes run fine for years and years.

I’m in bitcoin for more than ideological reasons. For spiritual reasons. I bitcoin because I am a flawed and humble human in need of God’s Grace and attempting to follow Christ. Bitcoin is a game we play where we measure success not by how much material wealth we accumulate but by how much we don’t accumulate but could. You are incentivized to serve others and not turn all that goodwill into possessions. To hold bitcoin is to not trade yourself for trinkets. At least not entirely. It is a fair game where everyone can win. And everyone who plays gets stronger. You get out of it in proportion to what you put into it. And everyone who plays helps the others to get stronger. But it is also a peaceful game. The world offers many zero sum games where everyone loses in the end. If you “win” at those games it costs you eternity. Bitcoin is not an answer to all that ails the human heart. Jesus Christ is the answer. But you can through this game understand the subtle ways the world tries to cheat you out of eternity. It is like a training for spiritual battle. And that battle is coming for you whether you believe it or not.

Is there any way to see if anyone is following you in this thing?

Good morning!
