Help upgrading to core 25.0

BTC noob here, Cashapp question.
The level of security you employ should correlate with the amount of BTC you have. Would you leave your US dollars on Cashapp? If so you are probably fine leaving a little BTC on there. But long term your best option is cold storage, either buy a device (like Ledger NanoX) for $50-$100, or go to bitcoin.org and download the Bitcoin Core GUI, where you can create your own cold storage wallet. You can generate your own seed phrase with no third parties or extra costs.

Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
Bitcoin transactions involve locking funds in scripts, which can only be spent if those locking conditions are met. The part of the script that expresses these locking conditions are called ScriptPubKeys. On the other hand, the part that provides unlocking scripts to satisfy the locking conditions is referred to as ScriptSig for legacy transactions, and ScriptWitness for SegWit Transactions. These scripts are evaluated by a stack-based language called Script. This article will mainly focus on ScriptPubKeys.

Do you use 12 - 24 words?
There are 5 271 537 971 301 488 476 000 309 317 528 177 868 800 possible permutations of the bip39 wordlist found here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt when using 12 word seeds. You probably have better change to win the lottery every week for the rest of your life than cracking a 12 word seed in correct order

SEC Charges Kraken for Operating as an Unregistered Securities Exchange
No one controls Bitcoin, because it's a protocol. Bitcoin Core is the reference implementation, but there are others, and anyone can create new implementations if they wish. Also, the Bitcoin Core maintainers can't just change something on a whim, because users would then switch to another fork. Maintainers (or miners or other groups) can't force their changes on users, because everyone can decide on their own which version they want to use.
The protocol development happens through BIPs (Bitcoin improvement proposals): https://github.com/bitcoin/bips
BIPs are discussed for years, before (and if) they are implemented, and basically everyone needs to agree on them, because no one wants to fork the blockchain, which could be devastating.

Hal Finney Was Not Satoshi Nakamoto
> users would be required to hand over control of their wallet to actually manage the massive proliferation of addresses needed

Bitcoin and the dangerous fantasy of ‘apolitical’ money (2013)
> Which policy are we referring to?
* BIP 141 version bits and BIP 148 as a voting mechanism: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawi... and https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0148.mediawi...
* core developer votes: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support
* posturing and maneuvering: https://cointelegraph.com/news/samourai-wallet-intends-to-ru...
> It evolves in a decentralized and organic manner, devoid of any formal political process or voting.
Just because its voting mechanisms are informal, that doesn't make them not voting mechanisms.
