Node Runners #8/15
Cypherpunk Paradise
Node runners play a critical role in the bitcoin network: they each keep a copy of the entire bitcoin blockchain and connect with other nodes to form a network that verifies that each transaction added to a block is valid; rejecting invalid transactions. Since the bitcoin network is trust-less, new nodes check that each transaction they receive is valid. Don’t trust, verify.

A young bitcoiner appears riding the back of a cyberpunk-inspired blue whale, swims against the current of the previous bear market accumulation zone and rides the trend upwards to new all-time highs and beyond.
