I live in a country where the internet is the most expensive and slowest in the world, electricity in many places lasts only 3 hours. Salaries are rubbish and there are not a few basic things. In such an environment it might seem that Bitcoin has limited use and adoption. Not at all, in such a place Bitcoin is more than necessary. So don't let them tell you that you can't have Bitcoin and that you can't become your own bank.

4 months ago I started to go down the rabbit hole, from the beginning I have heard "you must be your own bank" that doesn't mean that you have your private keys as I thought at first, that means that you have your own node. A question have you heard about @DarthCoin, well he always emphasizes that idea. But I always said "yes of course why aren't they here" I always thought it was impossible, but I thought it would be impossible that on the small island where I live we could get people together in the same space to talk about Bitcoin and that is already happening.

But many people here were always talking about the connection speed and all the problems, so I thought it wouldn't be possible. But believe me when I tell you that @DarthCoin gets into your head. So I tried it and not only did I try it, I did it, I installed BLIXT and I have my private node.

Was it easy? Let me explain, installing the wallet and making the Onchain transaction, it was easy, the problem was the SYNCHRONIZATION. Around 10 hours, but it synchronized and I HAVE MY PRIVATE NODE.

SO DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT. TRY IT, if it goes wrong then you learned, of course you should always read and research first. But if you succeed, then you can tell others THAT THEY CAN TOO
