I'm grateful to be connecting with a lot more nodes who deeply care about this protocol for humanity and know what Bitcoin entails far beyond \"1s and 0s\"⚡️✨ \n\nFor more info, would recommend these videos:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t0J9jq5q_A\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMvpRVHr8Lc"}
