I wouldn't worry about August 1 BTC fork issue. BTC will not go out of style. ETH forked and it did not go out of style. The block chain is here to stay and it will be bigger than the internet. In terms of a timeline comparison to the internet I feel we are in 1992. This means we are in at the ground floor of something very very big. Cliff talks about the fortunes that will be made and how people will look back and point to the summer of 2017 as the time when it all started. I have yet to fly with one pilot or flight attendant who actually owns crypto. I have been asking a lot of people I fly with if they have heard of Bitcoin. I would estimate that 8 out of 10 have either never heard of it or think it is a worthless investment with nothing to backing it up to give it any value. Only 2 out of 10 have actually showed interest and the ability to percieve the value crypto represents. Of those 2 both were eager to get educated in general with direction to youtube and specifically with my encouragement to check out Cliff High.

When Microsoft can't solve a problem with their own employees and are forced to pick up the phone and give Uncle Cliff a call you know he is special and the right man to be giving advice on the crypto universe to his cadre of nieces and nephews around the globe. ;-) Hey Uncle Cliff, I was going to make a standing offer to you that if I ever recognized you on any of my flights I would politely ask my lead flight attendant if it would be o.k. with her to move you up to first class. However, after thinking about that for a second I realized that you will already be flying with a first class ticket due to crypto flying high. (Pun intended.) Thanks uncle Cliff for all your research and guidance!

While we have been blessed with amazing opportunity here we need to stay grounded and recognize that all of this wealth and stuff will rust, decay and be the target of thieves. When we die we can not take it with us. It is only temporary. Our true treasure is that which is eternal.

We have access to that eternal treasure which does not decay, rust, spoil and where thieves can not steal through the one true living God. Jesus Christ is the only way to get cleansed and made perfect in order to make it into Heaven and be in the presence of God the Father. (John 14:6 ) Jesus's perfect life , death and sacrifice on the cross is sufficient. All you have to do is be sorry for your sins, repent (meaning change the way you think, speak and act) and walk in the light and not in darkness. (1 John 1:6-7.) The verse Proverbs 9:10 is key because without fear you will wander off the narrow path and onto that wide path that leads to destruction. Without fear you will do what you want to do instead of what God wants you to do. Fear is a healthy emotion to help keep you safe. If you disregard it you can get hurt badly.

This is what I believe with God's Word to back it up. I can not force anyone to believe the way I believe. You have to make your own decision. Once you breath your last breath there is no second chance to change your mind. But until that time it is never too late to change. The Bible says only a "few" will find the way. (Matthew 7:14.) We are like family in the sense that we all have Cliff as our uncle. I am bringing this up at Uncle Cliff's Steemit dinner table because I love you guys. My hope is that Uncle Cliff and all of his "nieces" and "nephews" (my cousins) would accept Christ...our eternal treasure. While I stand to be ridiculed for bringing this up at Uncle Cliff's dinner table I am bringing this up if it helps just one "cousin" of mine.

Please pass the mashed potatoes...
