While everyone is chasing Bitcoin yields, it poignant to remember: "Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins!" 🤔 Why Self-Custody? Self-custody means you control your own private keys, which are the secret codes that protect your bitcoin. If you hold the keys, you own the bitcoin. Your keys = Your control: No one can access your funds without your private key. No third-party risks: Avoid hacks or failures of centralized exchanges. True financial freedom: You have full ownership and can transact without intermediaries.
SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF SILENT PAYMENTS Silent Payments is a Bitcoin upgrade that hides transaction amounts and recipient addresses, making payments more private. Here's how it works: 1. Taproot Output: A special type of Bitcoin address that looks like a regular address but can hide multiple conditions for spending the coins. 2. Scan Key: A special key that allows the recipient to scan the blockchain for transactions sent to them, without revealing their identity. 3. Spend Key: A private key that allows the recipient to spend the coins received through a Silent Payment. Think of it like a secret mailbox: - The sender sends a letter (coins) to a secret mailbox (Taproot Output). - The recipient has a special key (Scan Key) to find the mailbox and retrieve the letter. - Only the recipient can open the mailbox and read the letter (spend the coins) using their private key (Spend Key). Silent Payments make Bitcoin transactions more private and secure especially for regions such as Africa!
