Upgrades are voluntary; users and companies choose what to run. ⚙️ If you already have Bitcoin Core, trying Knots can be straightforward. Education first; choose intentionally. #Bitcoin #Satoshi #Decentralization #Sovereignty #BitcoinEducation #RunANode #BitcoinCore #BitcoinKnots #ProofOfWork #SoundMoney #BitcoinArmy #Layer2 #CensorshipResistance #podcast #women
