The importance of running a #Bitcoin node continues to increase. With Traditional Finance moving into the space via ETFs, big changes are ahead. The importance of more independent nodes in the Bitcoin network continues to increase, to ensure strong decentralization over the long term. It’s not too hard to envision a future where TradFi uses their huge marketing budgets, and government’s own influence, to try to convince miners and node runners to vote for things that seem like good ideas, but that ultimately benefit corporate interests, and not things like self sovereignty. If you have not yet set up a node, please consider doing so. The cost is reasonable, as is the effort. Plus, there are lots of articles, videos, and people able to help you make this a reality.

@ZEUS I saw mention of using Tailscale in you docs. Is this a better way to connect via your iOS app to my node? What else is that helpful for? Thanks!

Orange Pilled my nephew and he passed on the gift to his Dad!

My cousin loves to read and was looking for some new books to read this month. I suggested “The Bitcoin Standard” and we had no conversation about Bitcoin. It’s on his list and he’s awaiting delivery now. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds….

Orange pilled my 17 year old nephew, who then orange pilled his Dad. 💪

I’m re-reading Parker Lewis’s incredible essay series “Gradually, Then Suddenly” to reinforce some of that great information in. Y. Ind, and also in anticipation of his new book. Well worth a read, whether you’ve read it previously, or if this will be your first time. 100% SIGNAL.

The feeling of successfully Orange Pilling someone is very satisfying. Especially if I can tell that they are really learning about what they are buying, and how amazing it is.

An important article for understanding more about what is happening with inning and hashing.

Blows my mind to consider the finite nature of Bitcoin, and how as more and more of humanity wakes up to this truth, the scramble to own a piece of the pie will grow exponentially. The levels of game theory built into this are astounding.
