# Chapter Six: Expanding Bitcoin Transactions
The `bitcoin-cli` interface is ultimately limited. Nonetheless, it contains a few other options including sequence (which is used for RBF), data (for OP_RETURNs), and locktime (for Locktime). These can considerably empower your basic Bitcoin transactions.
Basic bitcoin transactions: (1) send funds; (2) to a single P2PKH recipient; (3) immediately. However, all three parts of this definition can be expanded using more complex Bitcoin transactions, which can alternatively send data, which can send to a group of recipients, or which can send at a later time. These three options represent further empowerment of Bitcoin and also the furthest boundaries of what you can do with the basic `bitcoin-cli` command.
## Objectives for This Section
After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:
* Decide Whether RBF or CPFP Might Help a Transaction
* Create Transactions with Data
* Create Multisignature Bitcoin Addresses
* Create Transactions with Locktimes
* Create Transactions with Data
Supporting objectives include the ability to:
* Understand the Mempool
* Use RBF or CPFP to Free Up a Stuck Transaction
* Plan for the Power of RBF
* Plan for the Power of OP_RETURN
* Understand How to Spend Funds Sent to a Multisignature
* Plan for the Power of Multisignatures
* Plan for the Power of Locktime
* Plan for the Power of OP_RETURN
