Since I started running Knots, my node has become much less overloaded. We'll see where this all takes us. mempool.space seems to be down... Whatever that means, I don't know. And I'm not an expert. I'm just a normie trying to understand the magic of Bitcoin and I'm not the type to go along with the masses. For me, decentralization and self sovereignty is key. And all the Crypto crap and data storage doesn't belong into the blockchain IMOP.
Not running a node = No vote in the space
