Having your own node means absolutely nothing. Institutions built and manage the networks your node needs to sync with Bitcoin; Same institutions embedding their own miners at the source, with a lot more money than you. Bitcoin's security is consensus based, not hashrate; Consensus is a product of network topology. The network you never owned.

Solo mining is akin to gambling. You'd spend as much on hardware and electricity to have a near chance of hitting a single block in your lifetime. Even in a pool, you'll never earn what you spent for the miners.

You can save even more buying Litecoin instead.

Now do Stanford and Berkley.

None of those people look hungry; that's not why they're rioting. Be real.

Order is lost without control.

What a joke. Bitcoin is literally empowering states and private equity to exploit you through local governance. Litecoin is a fraction of the cost for a greater level of control, but you'll only preach Bitcoin, because that's where the exploitation begins. Litecoin is proof Bitcoin is fraud. Dogecoin is proof inflation never mattered. ETC is proof blockchains never mattered.

Still worthless.

Nothing demands the utility of Bitcoin. Dogecoin is proof inflation doesn't matter.

Sound money, that relies on the liquidity of fiat currency. Any network of value can form its own bonds. Ethereum proved this when it dumped PoW. ETC exists as the reminder. You can't even secure Bitcoin with your own mining farm because institutions have already captured the networks consensus. That's not trusting the protocol; that's trusting the same people Bitcoin was created to remove.
