I'm so tired right now
I don't think I can haiku.
Oh, perhaps I can?

Bitcoin's hash rate is already back to the levels seen in November 2020.
It wouldn't surprise me to see a new hash rate all-time high by end of year.

same pronunciation different definition
normally i dont gaf about grammar etc but i know you like (well maybe not like) corrections when some odd words mess something up, so i figure especially so in a haiku.
Easy there, poetic license?
Maybe the Dude plays the role of "good times" as the good times roll...? After all, it IS Poetry and you can't deny the Dudes license to utilize a creative Homophone!

The dude is not gay
Heterophone it should be

OnlyFans is banning adult content? Isn't that like McDonald's banning the hamburger?
Excuse the sauce.
I started a competitor website called OnlyFranz but it got bumped off.

When the MSM prints sort of positive stuff like this, prepare for a sharp leg down.

Oof. That is ugly.
Well I'm not saying it'll definitely happen, I'm just saying the MSM has always been a pretty big contrarian indicator.
Here's another one:
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/bitcoin-preparing-explosive-bullish-break-173332461.html
When they print articles that aren't completely slamming bitcoin or even start to praise it, look out for a pullback.
If it happens it'll probably be sometime after we breach $50K.
Still the bull market remains. Buy every dip.

I was in my teens so that was quite awhile ago for me to remember any specifics.
that's just the jist of what my memory holds on the subject, hence why I stated I don't think I would be a good person to review the piece.

My 20s for me I think while I was at uni. I don't recall details for much of the books but I seem to recall there was a lot of filler for generally a nice little twist towards the ends.
I was 15 the first time and 25 the second and in my early 40s last time i read the trilogy, and i still can't recall details, just the general plot. Time to read it again I suppose.

Lightning thoughts.
I want to spearhead a movement for cypher-punk inspired idealist zealots begin to run lightning nodes that have low, or even ZERO FEES.
One way to make lightning not become what people all worry about (banks) would be for the people who want to see the system run as counter to the existing one to make that happen themselves.
In fact, I think people who complain about the risks of centralization and exploitation in lightning have something they can do that is far more powerful than complain.
And that is to be the change you want to see. Run a damn node, and run it the way you think Bitcoin should work!
For those who care about the direction of bitcoin... there really are only three choices.
1. Complain.
2. Fork bitcoin.
3. Join us.
*EDIT* Are zero fees dangerous for spam etc? Exploitable?

More and more often I find myself nodding when I read your posts.
An ELI5 about setting up a Lightning node could be useful.
Pointers?
Well. A bitcoin node is not too heavy a task. You can do that on any "sometimes on" computer, but a lightning node takes a little more dedication (and the doing of it will also flesh out why a conservative approach to the blocksize limit is smart.)
When lightning was brand new (reckless etc) I spun up a node on a QNAP using a docker image i created. That was one of the dumbest things ever. I made something completely NOT ready for production in a containerized format. Bitch to maintain.
But currently my suggestion is Raspiblitz!
https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz
It's not too hard out of the box, follows the FOSS ethos quite well, and can be extended to various power-user features.
Buying a little RPI and a 1T hard drive (mine is still 500g. I have to upgrade soon) that can be ALWAYS ON is how lightning is going to work. The more of us willing to do it at home, the more decentralized the network will be.
But the instructions at the Raspiblitz github are good.
It is a project that DOES require a minimum of dedication. But once you have it up and running it's not terribly hard to maintain. One of my biggest "problems" is when I set it up i put a little pittance of BTC on it, and kept adding now and then, but over the last few years the value of the damn thing has gone up a bit. Lol.
Brings up another point... Be conservative and intentional about opening channels. Every open costs a TX, and so will each close.
I recently opened channels to nodes in:
Nigeria
El Salvador
Venezuela
Cuba
Afghanistan
And for those my fees were all ZERO. But recently I just dropped ALL my fees to zero.
The thought of quietly bringing down the government of Cuba while they are not looking was just too awesome to pass up.
If you get into it and want help, reach out... I will help how I can. I'll open a channel to you on one of my nodes too if you like!
