 I watched The Book of Clarence last night and as someone who grew up in church I was amused and annoyed.  Is the movie satire or to be taken seriously? One of the positives about the movie was the line about knowledge being stronger than belief. That’s why my prayer lately is that I may know HIM and the power of his resurrection cos blind faith and belief doesn’t cut it for me till the grand revelation I walk that fine agnostic line. 
 Niggas so thirsty it irks me
You keep on putting bitches over money but that ain't my cup of tea though
Nah nigga, the game is to get
A bunch of paper just to change your fucking neighbors and shit
I swear if niggas put half
Of what they put in chasing ass into a craft
By now you'd be famous and rich
But I get it, you rather lay with a …

 Every pay check you stash something in BTC it’s not hard. 
 Everyone buys BTC at the price they deserve.

 What’s wrong with Lightning ? 
 I see your point but Lightning the way I see and understand it we open and close transactions on the Layer 1. On the layer 2 we can have decentralized nodes that route payments etc. I love how Nostr what we are using actually uses lightning so I think we may have the layer 2 working already it just takes time. This is my take on things 
 I think lightning will scale BTC certain bugs like channels offline closing transactions and watchtower needed complexities could be ironed out. I think as people come onboard the incentives to solve lightning problems increase. Be optimistic 👌🏾 
 Bring your table to the table and take your table from the table that's the vibe I've been on since I was a child with friends and family. If people don't understand what I do for them I make myself scarce that way the contrast is clear. If I'm easily replaceable my opinion of myself was delusional. It's basically Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged philosophy, some call it toxic. I call it self preservation, why force love on folks who don't want it... I charge for guidance counseling but this one is on the house 😉

 Does running lightning nodes count?

 It’s dawning on me I’ll never watch Messi play ball again. The way my father Stan’s for Pele is the way I’m a Messi fan. I don’t think anyone comes close ever as an 11, 10,9,8,7 that’s why gods like Titi, Dinho, Wenger, Pep who have seen the work casually and seriously say it’s not even close leave it alone but Cody who won’t get picked with his own ball will tell you differently on twitter. 
 At 36 Messi was drilling Gvardiol, VVD just to face the final monster of a French team of Mandingo warriors thank God for the first time in his career he had a man with him. Aguero really let Messi down with fitness issues those 2 should have wrapped 2014. History doesn’t add these details Lionel is a playmaker playing with short ones on international stage. Pele was finishing work from Garrincha , Socrates etc. There won’t be another Messi for a while. If you know ball you know that guy is up there with the best 11,10,9,8,7. To spell it out for united and Madrid fans that don’t know ball. He is in the pantheon of the best wingers, playmakers/assisters, dribblers, and finishers. Hors Concours, in the streets of PH were I learned ball people like Messi we summarize them with this phrase. “Game Dey hot, Game Dey hot na him.”. Translation just watch him the game starts and ends through him.
