I can’t believe I am posting this and have typed it out many times over the last week without sending it. I need the communities help. My wife quit working back in May to stay home with our daughter, and baby to come, so we wouldn’t have to put them in day care and they could be raised by us and not strangers. I took a loan out against our Bitcoin to pay our bills believing that we wouldn’t see such huge drawdowns any longer. I now realize that the hype and excitement of not going below 100k got me and I made a stupid mistake that I will NEVER make again. I have attached the direct address to my Arch Lending loan so that it can be verified on chain that I’m not just trying to pad my pockets. I genuinely need some help. As a man I can not believe I have to ask a bunch of strangers to help me out but I’m a trying everything I can think of to keep my head above water. bc1qjkdk5sv4alupzyg9xqeujr5x6mllxwn9nnsnwnxxu7xjz22j58dqhzhrt5 #help #mistake #humbled

The importance of being able to run a node long into the future whenever the size of the ledger is much larger. Not being ok with arbitrary data now because it doesn’t effect anything but not thinking of what it will look like with 100 or 1000 years of arbitrary data on it. Example the way Saylor proposes to store his DID info instead of using something like op return. Or another topic is are nodes more important than miners. Are nodes the end all be all of the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. View quoted note →
