10 sats \ 0 replies \ @boisechampion OP 21 May \ on: How do you keep your node private? bitcoin
Thank you so much for all the replies. I would like to add an edit.
I do not care about lightning at all. I'm a on-chain maxi. Does this change any recommendations?
I care about taking large on-chain payments directly to my node in the most private way possible.
My wife and I have done this for 5 years. Luckily, we are both self-employed so that makes it easier.
Make sure to keep up maintenance on your vehicle. When your car goes down it can really really suck.
Communication becomes critical with your wife. Learn to plan for the upcoming week. It will help big time!
I could buy more but I'm pretty happy with my stack right now. Right now, we are focused on debt consolidation and debt payoff. We are making a big house move in 2025 and I want to maximize the house I can get (as in buy a 30 year house not something that only lasts me another 5 years)
If you can stack, stack harder!
Ignore the other comments. Its good to have a fiat savings account if you have a family and debt obligations.
I use Capital One savings account. It's 4.3 interest right now. I don't use it a ton because I'm self-employed so I constantly have money moving everywhere all the time.
But I like it because I have my checking, business, and all credit cards with Capital One so its nice to be gaining interest on my savings and I stack a shit ton of credit card points. We just got a $1,200 gift card to Amazon from all of our rewards without paying a dime of interest.
It really depends on your life situation. If you have a wife and kids I would say cease and desist immediately.
If you have very little responsibilities go HAM.
I would rather take the conversation to how can we improve your income, which is the real way to wealth.
Are you taking any online courses? Do you know anyone who is super successful that you could mentor under? Are you tracking metrics at your current job so you can ask for a raise next quarter?
I love the enthusiasm for Bitcoin, I'm all in as well. But income is where real wealth is built.
