He's laughing with another node
And playing with another channel
Placing high stakes making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He's a Node operator

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
No need to ask

Locke : What do you suppose is in that block, Charlie?
Charlie : I don't know. A - a - a crypto, I guess.
Locke : No, it's much more beautiful than that. That's Bitcoin. It's ironic - crypto get all the attention, but Bitcoin, it does all the proof of work. It's stronger. It's faster.
Charlie : That's wonderful, but...
Locke : You see this little block? This block is just about to be found by a miner. It's in there right now, struggling. It's digging its way through the hashing function. Now, I could help it - take my fork, gently increase the block size, and the mempool would be free - but it would be too weak to survive. Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it. Now this is the second time you've asked me to change the block size... ask me again, and it's yours.
