The future will not be multichain Monero, Ethereum, XMR, SOL... none of that will stand against the Bitcoin blockchain. I’m not coming from a maximalist POV, I’m just a believer in the free market. Web3 is a free market, and when all other incentives are gone, the Bitcoin blockchain will be the only serious chain. In non-free markets, governments want access to your money, which is why they support ETH, SOL, and that kind of crap. We’ll talk about XMR later. **Why Bitcoin?** Maybe you’ve never thought about it this way... Bitcoin has been running for more than 15 years without issues, smooth network. Its only vulnerability is the 51% attack, but that’s nearly impossible because Bitcoin has the strongest computational network power in the world (898.53 EH/s). It has the strongest consensus system. Any change takes 3-5 years to be approved, which makes it very hard to change. This slow process keeps Bitcoin steady and secure. What is the most immutable, strongest, and reliable blockchain? It doesn’t have a CEO or a central authority, unlike other coins. This makes it a true free market where the best ideas win without outside control. You can build everything on the Bitcoin blockchain, from smart contracts to health insurance, lottery systems, and more thanks to layers and side chains using the main Bitcoin protocol. For example, a small e-commerce could use a Bitcoin app to track orders and set up installment payments... you might even run everything without needing to pay taxes. You’d be using real sound money and the strongest computer network on Earth to secure your small business. Isn’t that wild? Other coins are just a smart way to funnel your hard work into the whales' pocket. And guess what they buy with that money? True sound money. Ethereum, SOL, and even Monero have bosses. Isn’t it crazy how the average pleb gets screwed over? Ethereum has done multiple hard forks. Think about it... How can you trust a system that changes its chain like that? Do you really want your smart contracts or health insurance on a platform that can change the rules at any time? Even Monero, though it sounds cool, has its own problems. It has issues with its block size, a small network, and low liquidity. You can’t fit a trillion dollar market like health insurance inside Monero (< $4B market cap), but you can in Bitcoin. And no one wants their health insurance on an anonymous blockchain. **Learning to build on Bitcoin** can give you (or your company) an edge to stack more and be truly free. Instead of hard coding, use decentralized apps and systems that already work. Check out tools like [Bitcoin Justice Protocol](https://privatelawsociety.net/bjp) to sign contracts using Bitcoin and Nostr, and [Stacks](https://www.stacks.co/) for Bitcoin dApps. Real power is in your hands here. Bitcoin’s high liquidity and unchangeable nature make it the best base for everything. By using Bitcoin tools, you protect yourself from market tricks and control. History shows that when power is in one hand, regular folks get screwed over. Now you know that all those crapcoins are meant to transfer wealth from you to the whales, who then reinvest it in Bitcoin. The unchangeable record of Bitcoin's blockchain and its high liquidity show us that it’s the only solid solution for building future blockchain applications. No one wants to build on a broken, mutable, and centralized chain. To achieve financial sovereignty, run your own node and store your funds in a cold wallet. Check out my last article, **"How to Be Sovereign Running Your Own Nodes"**, for a step-by-step guide. In short, if you want to sleep well, choose Bitcoin. Its immutable record and high liquidity prove that building on a solid foundation is way better than relying on weak, mutable, and centralized chains. **The future will not be multichain.** Build on sound money, and let the best ideas win.

How to be sovereign running your own nodes This is where you learn to run your first (or next) node, even if you’re not tech-savvy or flush with cash. Stick with me. Forget trusting random fuckers with your data, run your nodes. Relying on other nodes is like using rented lungs to breathe. Your node, your rules. This guide shows you how to build a master hardware setup for your nodes: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Lightning, Nostr, and more. You’ll learn to pick affordable, reliable gear and get things running without being a tech genius. What if someone malicious controls the nodes you use? They could provide incorrect, censored data, leak your IP or UTXO details, and filter your transactions. Even a non-malicious but outdated node risks your funds. How would you feel knowing someone else sets the rules for your money? Can you really afford that risk? Not running your own node is a great contribution for centralization and opens the door to 51% attacks. With your node, you can even run multiple Lightning channels, earn routing fees while protecting your privacy. Think of a node as your personal data gateway. It’s your own machine, doing the heavy lifting, verifying transactions, and storing history. No shady middlemen, no outsourced bullshit. A full node means holding every transaction and block detail, on your own terms. It’s about not taking shortcuts or relying on someone else’s doctored records. There are different types of nodes—Bitcoin, Bitcoin Lightning, Nostr relays, and more. They all serve the same purpose: giving you full control of your data and cutting out the crap. By running your own node, you’re not just a user. You’re the one who makes sure every transaction is legit and every block stands up to scrutiny. You’re owning your digital space, and that’s power. It starts solid hardware. Forget underpowered Raspberry Pis. To get a full node, you need a system with at least 1-2 TB of SSD, 16 GB of RAM, and a multi-core i5, i7, Ryzen 5, or Ryzen 7. That's the baseline for stability and speed. My hack to score affordable gear.. Check eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You can snag a PC or mini PC for around $70-80. If it’s missing a bit.. say, extra RAM or an extra SSD drive, you can pick up these parts second-hand for cheap too. All in all, you can set up your sovereignty machine for less than $100. It may not be fancy at first, but it’s yours, and you have the freedom to upgrade it over time. This is an investment in your independence. Don't settle for cloud hosting if you want full control. Own it, upgrade it, and let it work for your future. **Step 1: Prep your hardware.** Install Ubuntu LTS. This reliable, open, and free OS is perfect for your node. **Step 2: Get the node/relay software.** Download the latest stable release for your chosen node or relay. - For Bitcoin node software, check out [Bitcoin Core Documentation](https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/); - For Bitcoin Lightning, refer to [LND Documentation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md); - For a Nostr relay, see [Nostr Relay Docs](https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr-relay); Follow the official documentation closely to avoid unreliable versions. **Step 3: Install and configure.** Run the installer and edit your config files. Don’t panic :p Stick to defaults at first, then customize as you get more comfortable. A well configured node makes sure your data is secure and transactions legit **Step 4: Sync your node.** Let your node download and verify all transactions and blocks. Warning: this process can take days or even weeks. Start this as early as possible. Grab a coffee, join relevant communities, and let your node do its thing **Step 5: Test and secure.** Double-check that your node is verifying transactions correctly. Set up firewall rules and disable unnecessary services. Think of your node as a vault. Lock it down tight. **Step 6: Monitor and maintain.** Keep an eye on logs and resource usage. Use AI tools or ask in forums and communities if any issues pop up. Regular updates and tweaks might be a hassle, but they’re key to protecting your sovereignty. And always remember, if it is working, don't touch it. Like rewards? With Bitcoin Lightning, you can open channels and earn routing fees, boost decentralization, and even experiment with upgrades. It’s a simple yet powerful way to stack some more sats. Anyways.. If you’ve got a cold, hard wallet, running your own node means you’re 100% your own bank. Signing and validating your own transactions. You control your data and funds, and no random fucker is calling the shots. Imagine handling every transaction yourself. Sure, you're not totally financially sovereign yet. there’s still missing pieces, like a card for living on the Bitcoin standard. But that's coming in future posts. Banks are a mess anyway, and soon you'll have no need for them. Every step you take to run your node adds to your digital freedom and decentralizes the network more. Protect your funds, earn some sats, and keep your power in your hands. **I just ask one thing from you:** please boost this post so it reaches more people, and keep the conversation going. It’s a bit lonely writing in the void with no reactions on the other side. Thanks for reading and for being part of this movement.

I have just used all the #zaps you sent me to buy AI Credits, which will help me create even more for you. AI is very helpful for my daily tasks, including in-depth research, statistics, improving content, and speeding up my work. It also helps me create images for articles. I will continue to reinvest more #zaps here and will keep you updated on how they are being used. I am considering starting a public Lightning Network channel. I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Still working on the "Simple Guide to Run your Nodes and be more #Sovereign" I am enjoying writing this for you.

## How to grow on Nostr and get more #zaps Please, #boost this post, so I keep writing here. > Someone asked me `Can you give me your honest takes on my Nostr?"` I said: ``` I'm kinda starting, but I've learned a few things along the way. If I were in your position, I would do two things: First, share more content (you don’t have to be a master, you can share your experiences as you learn) Second, use the power of #communities. This is how I gained 80% of my followers. Post often in these communities and make sure your content is valuable. More people will see it (and follow you) Additionally, I like to #zap people I think I could collaborate with. We can support each other by boosting each other's posts or quoting them. ``` I will let some communities below, so you can join and share your content there: nostr:naddr1qqr5y6t5vdhkjmspz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzq66ue74ws4pkaf77zyq807s594m2zklz2hzhdhv9zsfpa2qtt9lgqvzqqqyx7c0r0q98 nostr:naddr1qqy5zmn0deuk66t50yq3gamn8ghj7vfjxuhrqt3s9ccn5dpcxcuj7q3qddwvl2hg2smw5l0pzqrhlg2z6a4pt039t3tkmkz3gys74q94jl5qxpqqqzr0vc55qpw nostr:naddr1qq9hxmmkv4ex26t8de68jqg5waen5te0xyerwt3s9cczuvf6xsurvwf0qgsxkhx04t59gdh20hs3qpml59pdw6s4hcj4c4mdmpg5zg02sz6e06qrqsqqpphk5j5ffg nostr:naddr1qqy5zmnpwf3ks6tnd5q36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsygrttn8646z5xm48mcgsqal6zskhdg2muf2u2akas52py84gpdvhaqpsgqqqsmmqpyz57c nostr:naddr1qqry6mmwv4ex7qg5waen5te0xyerwt3s9cczuvf6xsurvwf0qgsxkhx04t59gdh20hs3qpml59pdw6s4hcj4c4mdmpg5zg02sz6e06qrqsqqpphkq7vqjh nostr:naddr1qqr4qunfweskx7gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsxkhx04t59gdh20hs3qpml59pdw6s4hcj4c4mdmpg5zg02sz6e06qrqsqqpphkj6efal #nostr #grownostr #zap #bitcoin #btc #monero #grow #money #sats #privacy #anarchy #anarchism #ancap
