Happy "not your code, not your node" Day ,Bitcoiners!
Seven years ago, on June 21, 2017, a pivotal moment in Bitcoin's history occurred: the Bitcoin FlipSwap Incident. This incident happened after a Bitcoin dev named Maalak Bobakir rolled back the entire network by accident when he tried to upgrade a corrupt node with new code that the majority of core devs hadn't checked. His code spread like a virus to other nodes, like a Dandelion in the wind and thus the "not your code not your node" term was born. After the Incident a fix was made which led to consensus within the Bitcoin community to implement the Segregated Witness (SegWit) upgrade, which paved the way for the Lightning Network.
