How BTC take dey verify things and why e dey different from trusting bank server

[Faazs]

Some where no too knw about Bitcoin still believe say e dey like online banking, after you done know wetin nodes be you go sabi say BTC no fit dey controlled dey way dem dey control bank. U see nodes be like animals where dey wild where dey monitor BTC, you go see say no be anybody property,  nobody dey give them order, nobody fit come do their brain factory reset to control them, if any person where dey mine just cross boundary, nodes go just no accept am. No plenty talk.

-- Wetin nodes dey do self?
Them go monitor every transaction, to see whether any block break Bitcoin rules, d thing dey even stop spending twice, keeping record of everything for the blockchain and also stopping miner's from doing wuru-wuru like to add coin where nah fake.

-- See as e take different from bank server
U go see say bank servers dey controlled by a body, them fit do anything dem like with your account when dey feel like, for example freezing of your funds and dem fit even hold and delay your transactions.

-- As Nigerian why ur mind suppose dey their be say, with node you go fit verify ur coin by yourself, you no need anybody permission to do am, you no go they worried about things like inflation or government policy as that one no touch ur balance for your block and you go test premium financial freedom.

✓ Make u still put for mind say as you run your node, you no dey just use Bitcoin but follow for people where dey make sure say e remains honest.

Honestly, and the thing I really love about Bitcoin is how it puts you in control even without asking you to "just trust" anyone. And also, the biggest difference is not that Bitcoin "uses nodes", but for the fact that, the whole system is designed in a way that no single authority can silently come and start changing the rules behind the scenes. With all these traditional banks, you only get to see whatever they want to see. If you did a transaction and the transaction was delayed or even when you account gets restricted, you will have to accept whatever explanation they gave to you. You cannot verify anything on your own.

But everything about Bitcoin is open. The rules are clear, the history is transparent and you can actually verify things on your own even without begging for access. And speaking as a Nigerian, this is one of the things that I really find appealing. You see this our financial system can just change overnight; new policies, new limits, new restrictions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin does not care about where you're living or what all these banks decide to do one day. The rules are still the same for everyone, you see that stability alone really gives people confidence.

And one other thing I've come to really appreciate is how running a node actually makes you part of the system. You are not just a user anymore,It basically means you’re taking part in the community that ensures Bitcoin stays fair and transparent.. See, even if your node is very tiny, it still adds to the idea that Bitcoin isn’t under anyone’s command and nobody can come and start twisting rules for their own benefit.

When I hear people say bitcoin is another banking system that is used only for sending money. I will smile because Bitcoin has a different mindset entirely ooo, Bitcoin was built with this idea that you should verify things on your own and take part without needing permission.

Nice topic but let me make something understandable, you can run a node but not make use of bitcoin. You can have a node and have your bitcoin elsewhere but it is better you make use of your own node with your bitcoin to have better privacy than to let other nodes to do it for you.
