Join Bitcoin University Premium:https://www.bitcoinuniversity.comRecordings of my live classes:https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/93850-live-classesIn this video, I discuss the scenario where an attacker spins up 100,000's of new Bitcoin nodes in an effort to attack the network.Such an attack would simply create an alternate version of the Bitcoin network, running on its own rules, and would not affect those running their own nodes. This is yet another reason why it is so important to run your own node and use it for all of your Bitcoin transactions, rather than relying on someone else's node.Not investment advice!
