Bitty Kitty: Cat spoils Bitcoin node during price crash with ‘dirty protest’

A Bitcoin node is a pivotal piece of the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol. For bad actors, attacking nodes and bringing them offline is a sound strategy to undermine the network’s resilience. For one British Bitcoiner, such an attack took place, as the actions of his feline friend rendered his Bitcoin node “unreachable.”

Bodl_hodler (who wishes to remain anonymous) told Cointelegraph that he “started running Raspberry Pi as Umbrel node January 2021,” as he wished to contribute to the overall decentralization of the Bitcoin network.
