Episode notes
Use Your Own Full Node
- Run your own Bitcoin full node to minimise trust and protect privacy when verifying transactions.
- Connect your hardware wallet (e.g., Bitbox) to your node to get full sovereignty over confirmations.
Keep Keys Offline With Hardware Wallets
- Keep your private keys offline with a hardware wallet to avoid malware and keyloggers.
- Use a Bitbox or similar device to confirm transactions on a trusted physical screen.
Node Ownership Is Network Participation
- A wallet alone doesn't make you a full participant; a full node does because it enforces consensus rules locally.
- Running a node reduces reliance on third parties and increases censorship resistance.
