I’m not the smartest guy in the room so while I’m working on my project I am trying to keep in mind how to intuitively grasp some concepts.
This brought me back to how much I didn’t understand about Bitcoin. Not to proud to admit the following:
- I thought confirmations were nodes individually OKing your transaction. I thought 6 of them were “safe”
- I had no idea what mining a block was.
- My first on-chain transaction scared the shit out of me.
- I originally thought the “Bitcoins” were stored IN the wallet file
- Forget even understanding lightning payment channels
Then I learned.
