One of the most misunderstood aspects of Bitcoin is its governance structure. Unlike traditional companies with CEOs and boards of directors, Bitcoin operates on a delicate balance of power between four key groups. Let me break it down: The Four Pillars of Bitcoin Governance Bitcoin's decentralized governance creates a system of checks and balances between: 1️⃣ Developers - The Code Keepers - Power: Write and propose code changes - Check: Users and nodes can refuse to run their code - Philosophy: "Janitorial" approach - they maintain, not dictate Key Insight: Maintainers are "janitors," not dictators. They merge code that has achieved community consensus, not decide changes unilaterally. There's no single leader - development is distributed across teams. 2️⃣ Miners - The Security Providers - Power: Secure the blockchain and order transactions - Check: Nodes will reject invalid blocks they create - Economic Reality: Their value depends on miners AND users 3️⃣ Full Node Operators - The Rule Enforcers - Power: Validate all rules of the network - Check: Economic value depends on miners and users - Critical Role: They're the immune system that rejects invalid transactions 4️⃣ Users - The Ultimate Authority - Power: Decide which version of the software and rules to enforce - Reality Check: Without users, the network has no value This is the key: Users running nodes decide which version of the software and rules to enforce. Ultimate power rests with the users. The Checks and Balances System This isn't just theory - it's a carefully designed system where no single group can control Bitcoin: - Developers write code, but can't force anyone to run it - Miners secure the chain, but can't change the rules - Node operators enforce rules, but depend on the ecosystem's value - Users have final say, but need the other groups to function Real-World Proof: The SegWit2x Failure The best example of this governance in action? SegWit2x in 2017.

https://youtu.be/Z_vlwus19-8?si=ZPWkHfc_mHEPWx0u TL;DR 👇 Bitcoin’s volatility isn’t a flaw—it’s the engine that creates outsized returns. High upside requires tolerating sharp drawdowns (Bitcoin commonly drops ~30% every 3–6 months). Most investors lose because they want Bitcoin’s growth but bring “low-volatility expectations,” then panic-sell when normal pullbacks hit. The cure is a clear thesis: know what you bought, why, and your time horizon. If the thesis is intact, volatility becomes an opportunity—not a threat. Avoid being a forced seller (don’t invest near-term cash in a 4+ year asset). And don’t obsess over perfect timing: missing a few best days can erase most gains.

🤯 Central Banks say "Forget Inflation"? Your wallet says otherwise. We're consistently told that inflation is under control, yet the cost of food, housing, and everyday goods keeps skyrocketing. The official 2% target doesn't match the 30% price increases we've seen over the last five years! The root cause? Massive money printing (QE) that systematically devalues your cash. 🔥 The Gold Revelation: Historically, fiat currency loses purchasing power, but gold maintains it. It's time to treat gold as the true money it is. Tap to read why you should stop ignoring inflation and start using gold for daily spending! [Link to Blog Post: https://glintpay.com/us/blog/inflation-forget-about-it-] #Inflation #Gold #FiatMoney #PersonalFinance #WealthProtection

https://hookrank.io/ I recently got in touch with this resource during a call with a representative from UniSwap. Honestly, I couldn't do much with that website anyway. I'm sharing this resource because we have mentioned Uniswap V4 hooks before. Here’s a list of various hooks along with some information about each one. If any of you can better understand and utilize this resource, I would love to know more about it. I'm just sharing the list at this point.
