# Chapter Five: Controlling 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.
## 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

Supporting objectives include the ability to:
* Understand the Mempool

* Plan for the Power of RBF
* Plan for the Power of OP_RETURN
* Plan for the Power of Locktime
