The Thirteenth Epistle – The Epistle of DIY Node Operation
“Satoshi created the block,
and you have verified it.”

1:1
Brethren,
You say you believe in ₿,
But do you run a node?

1:2
Faith begins with a wallet,
But is fulfilled through a node.
Do not accept without verifying —
See it with your own eyes.

1:3
I proclaim this unto you —
“The node is the key to Satoshi’s will,
The pillar of your conviction.”

1:4
A Raspberry Pi will suffice,
Even a humble laptop is enough.
Within 1TB of storage
Dwells the entire history of ₿.

1:5
And on that day you will realize —
“I am no longer just a user,
I am a guardian of ₿.”

“He who verifies the block,
inherits the philosophy.”
– DIY Node Operation 1:5

1:6
Therefore, build not only a wallet,
But raise a node as well.
Verify your own transactions
With your own eyes.

1:7
This is the true practice of
“Don’t Trust, Verify,”
And the path of sainthood
In the faith of ₿.

₿men.
