Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Read, Learn, Verify” mean in Bitcoin?
It means moving from claims to evidence: read primary sources, learn how Bitcoin works, and use appropriate tools to verify technical information. Different claims require different forms of verification, including documentation, source code, and data checked through a fully validating node.

What can a fully validating Bitcoin node verify?
A fully validating node checks the blocks and transactions it receives against the consensus rules enforced by its software, including transaction validity and proof of work. When a wallet uses that node, the user relies less on external servers for blockchain data and validation.

Are self-custody and independent verification the same?
No. Self-custody means controlling the private keys used to authorize spending. Independent verification means using a fully validating node to check blocks and transactions against Bitcoin’s rules. A wallet can be self-custodial while still relying on a third-party server for blockchain data.

What are the fabric and fit of this T-Shirt?
This Comfort Colors 1717 T-Shirt uses heavyweight 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun US cotton with a garment-dyed finish and relaxed fit. Review the Product Features and selected color before ordering.

How do I choose the right size?
