Think of Bitcoin blocks as a series of “nesting dolls”, with each one inside the next. The hash of each block is contained in the block that follows it, so the Genesis Block now has 877659 additional blocks protecting it. To undo the first block, 𝘱𝘭𝘭 the blocks after it would need to be found again, expending all that energy before the rest of the world further secures it with another block. Every Bitcoin transaction—including yours—becomes more irreversible as new blocks are mined. This immutability is fundamental to your personal sovereignty, since it means that no one can change what đ˜șđ˜°đ˜¶ have chosen to do with the product of đ˜șđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜ł labor. ⛓ image 4ïžâƒŁ Today is also celebrated as “Proof of Keys Day,” an idea proposed by Trace Mayer to promote sovereignty among Bitcoiners. If you haven’t already done so, withdraw your Bitcoin from exchanges to ensure your ownership, so custodians can’t claim they hold more coins than they actually do. By holding your keys, you also eliminate the risk of losing your funds due to exchange hacks, fraud, or insolvency. This will require greater responsibility on your part, but the result is greater freedom. If you don’t control your own keys yet, make today the day. Invest in a hardware wallet, engrave your seed phrase in steel or titanium, and take full ownership of your wealth. As sovereign individuals like to say: â€œđ˜•đ˜°đ˜” đ˜șđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜ł 𝘬𝘩đ˜ș𝘮, đ˜Żđ˜°đ˜” đ˜șđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜ł đ˜€đ˜°đ˜Ș𝘯𝘮.” 🔑 image (Caution: Do NOT use this seed phrase!)
