Pt. 2  Running a node, negatives for BTC in El Salvador, Cash notes backed with BTC - To the Moon 18

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NXt_z1KJ8

In part 2, Vlad talks about the ease of running a node and how it benefits users, educating users to become their own bank, adding new features to Bitcoin through layers, like sidechains, and bringing smart contracts and tokens to Bitcoin. He also gives his view on El Salvador, and how a government mandate forcing people to use Bitcoin may not be the best way forward.

He also touches upon the benefits of hodling vs. the benefits of spending Bitcoin and supporting the Bitcoin circular economy, and also discusses some ideas expressed in a recent blog post where he makes the case for Bitcoin-based cash notes which are cryptographically provable to be backed by an equivalent amount of BTC, similar to gold and silver certificates in the early half of the 20th century.
