Introducing the stunning, all-aluminium plug-and-play Umbrel server from @BitcoinMachines with a 1.8" display, 64bit quad-core CPU, 8GB RAM, and 1TB or 2TB SSD.
This new internet will be powered by the people, not AWS. 💪

You literally just connect the server to your router & turn it on — that's all it takes to get your Umbrel up and running with a Bitcoin & Lightning node + self-hosted apps like Nextcloud.
Digital privacy & self-sovereignty just became much more accessible to the masses. 🎉

The server comes in 5 colors — orange, pink, purple, black, and a beautiful all-white design (my favorite 😍), and starts at $429 for the 1TB version and $559 for 2TB.
Starting today, Umbrel isn't just a #Bitcoin node. It's a personal server OS that empowers anyone to reclaim ownership of their data & become a self-sovereign citizen of the internet. ☂️
#Bitcoin and Lightning are peer-to-peer networks made up of self-hosted nodes around the world, but the journey to self-sovereignty doesn't end with running your own node.
That's just the first step — running your own personal server is a giant leap forward.
You and your family's files, photos, videos, messages — everything, they have nothing to do with someone else's computer.
They're a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel. ☂️
