 Curious if anyone can help me understand something about #bitcoin nodes. Is there a simple correlation between number of nodes and network strength (i.e., more nodes = stronger network), or, is there some ideal number of nodes to aim for, where adding additional ones past that doesn’t add much value or may even slow the network down? Is network strength more correlated with miners? Thanks in advance. 
 Watching Clue. My kids have never seen it before.

Unforgivable. 
 One plus two plus two plus one. 
 Is it pronounced nihilism or nihilism? 
 The world has a huge coward problem. 
 I would debate you on this…but I’m too scared. 
 Glad to see they’ve made amends. Between Travis’s plane crash, Mark’s sickness, and the numerous years of fighting, I’m thankful to see them making music together again. Almost as if everything’s right in the world. 🤟🏻 
 Always love seeing your posts. Keep up the good work! 
 All well and good, but who will protect us from such dystopian corporate global speech like this?

 My goal is to stack aggressively over the next 5-10 years doing my current soul sucking but highl... 
 Good luck, you’ll reach your goals 👍🏻 
 At a recent family get together the topic of finance came up and I casually mentioned that I listen to #Bitcoin podcasts. One of my in-laws earnestly replied, “Oh, Bitcoin is still around? I thought that ended years ago.” 

Just a humble reminder that bear markets are for quietly building and stacking. 
 Such a classic movie. Casting George Carlin as the priest was pure genius.

 Red Team, Blue Team, etc… Neither are on Team Humanity. The current system is beyond saving (and arguably not worth saving). 
 Question for my upcoming YouTube video:

Who is your favorite Satoshi Nakamoto candidate?

 Good morning. Woke up in a philosophical state of mind today.

Avoid the temptation to believe something just because it’s comforting. Truth is often unsettling and even ugly; it takes strength and character to face it and accept it. Covering your eyes and ears to it in favor of comforting lies is an insult to your intelligence and disservice to your character. Take the red pill. 
 Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don’t.

 Alright, calling it now. Within 24 hours there will be a #PenisButter shitcoin listed on Coinbase.

 Would’ve been a fun twist if you had a type in the meme. 
 If you also do the $5, $10, and $50 I believe the theory was that it showed the series of events unfold in order. Haven’t checked myself since all my spare cash goes to #Bitcoin 
 Hm, try doing the opposite side of the $10 
 If I recall correctly the pentagon hit is visible on the opposite side of the $20. Hard to describe, but if you Google it you’ll find it. Wild stuff 😵‍💫 
 Ever feel like for every task you complete two more pop up? Some days thriving is out of the question and all you hope to do is survive. 😰 
 Today was the first day of cool weather where I live, so I spent all day thinning out my irises so they bloom even stronger next spring. There’s just something special about a Sunday of fall yard work 🍁🍂😊 
 Good morning and hear me out…if I rename my dog “Bitcoin,” then I can start referring to his poops as shitcoins.

Maybe I shouldn’t post before I’ve had coffee.

 Good morning; awesome art. 
 This is how #Bitcoin looks at me whenever I have a spare ten dollars. 
 That’s the neat part - you’re not supposed to understand! CONSUME WITHOUT QUESTION
