The hardware and software have no connection - big difference between miners and nodes The difference between #ProofOfWork and #ProofOfStake is important here as well. Your points are valid for PoS cryptos like Ethereum, but not BTC 👇 https://whybitcoinonly.com/#PoWVsPoS

Why would Trump push for BTC??

Because he's a whore for votes and support, and bitcoiners are gaining lots of power I was at the BTC Conference in Nashville last year and watched him ramble having no clue what he was talking about lol There are also a lot of people in his administration now who hold a bunch so they're pushing him into it for their own financial reasons

Hmmmm… well I still don’t quite trust BTC. I researched it for a month before I decided not to invest. But I won’t say I know for sure.

Just a tip - so you can take it or leave it. But going to a platform like nostr with a video showing a very poor understanding of the one thing everyone here has done their homework on, might not be the best idea. It exposes you as uniformed or a grifter, giving nostriches a reason to ignore the rest of your content, even if you have a better understanding of other topics.

What resources were you using? I'm sure people here would be happy to point you in a new direction if you are still interested.

That bitcoin incel on YouTube thats British

Well if people label me as misinformed over one video that’s kinda one-dimensional isn’t it?

I think it's a good heuristic to use for filtering given how much content is available. If you are willing to speak confidently about a topic, that I know there is a baseline lack of understanding, why trust that the work has been done on other topics?

Well look, i heavily researched BTC and there’s the potential for it to be monopolized, also the digital ID can simply lock us out of using any BTC. I’m just forgetful and I don’t remember the details, but I learned BTC inside and out a while back.

Ha - no lack of possibilities there. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgcwaehxw309akxjemgw3hxjmn8wfjkccte9e3k7mgqyzh0p44jz2p87wapmescjcf7d4yzfuvp74nmzgzjw0qk390a4u9jxlprakr ? Andreas Antonopoulos has the best YouTube page if you are really looking to dig in. Especially his old stuff from 8-10 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/user/aantonop

I hope you keep going. Still risks of course. A lot of people here say that there are no perfect solutions, just tradeoffs. I do think you'd find some information that would relieve some of those concerns if you keep digging.

Yea there’s the potential for evil fucks to ruin shit with anything.
