<!-- SC_OFF -->We had a conversation about bitcoin a couple years ago and he didn't like it. He thought it was a scam. Fast forward today, he says he is a full on bitcoin maxi now. Apparently he kept doing research and he now realizes that there is only a fixed supply, it is a decentralized protocol that no single country or government can control, etc etc etc. He said he finally just "sees the value" in it and has been constantly DCAing. Have you guys ever seen a conversion like this in real life? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/StillLostHalfaBTC (https://www.reddit.com/user/StillLostHalfaBTC)

Running own node = more anonymous?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1e60cgh/running_own_node_more_anonymous/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hello, In many posts I can see the argument that running your own node can help being more anonymous, for example this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cdow4i/dear_bitcoiners_start_running_your_own_bitcoin/ do you want anybody to realize the same IP keeps looking up the balance of the same address with that kind of balance? I understand that, but I'm curious about another aspect. It is recommended to open port 8333 to truly participate in the network stability. Doesn't that mean that anyone will be able to see that my IP is hosting a bitcoin node? Essentially it doesn't say that I am a bitcoiner but if we are realistic, how many people have a bitcoin node and are NOT interested in bitcoin? There must be ways to hide somehow my IP or location, but does that require separate work/configuration, or is this integrated in the main tools available such as Umbrel or Start9?

Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1ee8zel/bitcoin_doesnt_need_governments_to_win_it_doesnt/
<!-- SC_OFF -->"Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help. Instead, the bar is much lower. Bitcoiners, in their preferred jurisdiction, would benefit by not being hassled by their government. They'd like to be able to buy it without problems. They'd like to be able to pay for energy and equipment and mine it in peace. They'd like be able to write open source code without facing legal problems. They'd like to be able to operate reputable businesses related to it. If they can't, then some of them will move as necessary. It's helpful for the ecosystem to have non-hostile jurisdictions in the world. And for those that can't move without great sacrifice (i.e. most people), it's helpful for them that whatever jurisdiction they are in, is non-hostile. So it's good that bitcoin is getting into the Overton window. The industry has some power now. Bitcoin benefits from builders and educators and advocates. It benefits from those who do their best to prevent the worst legislative outcomes against self-custody, against privacy, against running a business, against mining, etc. But Bitcoin doesn't need to pander to them to proactively support us, and bitcoiners should recognize the sliminess of politician incentives when they come to pander to us. While it's in their best interest to build national reserves if they actually figure this thing out, we don't need them to build reserves. I think that's the helpful line. That's where the signal is. To the extent that we minimize how much we are tread on, and build multi-national accepting footholds to pivot around, we gradually build what we want to exist. We ask to be treated fairly, we use our resources to help ensure that we are, and to the extent that we are not then we adjust as necessary."

Reasons for choosing a hardware wallet
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1e66a72/reasons_for_choosing_a_hardware_wallet/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi, all. I am pretty new to bitcoin, and I have been wondering whether it's actually better to have a hardware wallet (as people have told me). Sure, it doesn't depend on a site that can be hacked or whatever. At the same time, there's actually a chance of physically losing the sole thing that keeps your bitcoin. Or to get it stolen. To me it seems the chances of this are bigger than something happening to a digital wallet like Exodus, for example.
