Node Wars, BIP110 and The Battle For Bitcoin with Matt Hill

<p>One of the biggest moments in Bitcoin's history is here - a battle for Bitcoin's real purpose and a contentious improvement proposal known as BIP110.<br /><br />BIP110 claims that the Bitcoin network should be solely limited to the transmission of monetary data.<br /><br />Whilst the legacy policy implementation, seeks to remove those limits to allow the relaying and embedding of non-monetary data on the blockchain.<br /><br />In this episode of Bitcoin with ZT, I sit down with Matt Hill, CEO of Start9, for a deep but accessible conversation about this topic and the vital importance of running your own node.<br /><br />We start with the fundamental question: What is the true purpose of Bitcoin? <br /><br />And then discuss:<br /><br />☑️ What is a Bitcoin node and why it matters<br />☑️ Why every serious Bitcoiner should definitely run their own node<br />☑️ How the node policy you choose impacts the network <br />☑️ Node implementations - Core versus Knots, BIP110 and what this could mean for Bitcoin's future.<br /><br />Matt's shares some powerful analogies that help to understand how nodes work to verify your Bitcoin and to keep the network decentralised and safe.<br /><br />This is an enthralling conversation that every Bitcoiner who values sovereignty over their money should watch.<br /><br />Stay strong. Stay sovereign.<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><b>Resources &amp; Support To Help You Optimise Your Bitcoin Journey -</b><br /><br />🚀 Buy Bitcoin easily with Stormrake Full-Service Broker:<br />🇦🇺 In Australia: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT" target="_blank">https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT</a><br />🇺🇸 In the USA: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT" target="_blank">https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT</a><br /><br />🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with expert self-custody support<br />Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call with The Bitcoin Way.<br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane" target="_blank">https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane</a><br /><br />✅ Book a 1-on-1 Bitcoin Strategy Call with me<br />Get personalised guidance and a clear plan for your Bitcoin journey.<br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/" target="_blank">https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/</a><br /><br />Connect with me:<br />📧 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:zt72@proton.me" target="_blank">zt72@proton.me</a><br /><br />Follow me on X: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/ZaneTruscott" target="_blank">https://x.com/ZaneTruscott</a><br />Follow me on Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/zanetruscott/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/zanetruscott/</a></p>
