a huge reality check for me is searching nostr and/or lightning network on reddit.
tiny subreddits and mostly skeptical posts that Lightning doesn’t work and nostr is full of criminals.
these are such obscure technologies that i have decided my life to for the past 7 years and the majority of people have no idea exists.
I keep going because it’s obviously the right *technical* solution, and i can’t imagine working on whats popular vs what is right.
I can't talk to anyone at work (thousands) about either of these without seeming like a whacko. I s do but it's a constant grounding to reality
I get asked what app I am using and get blank stares when I say nostr or Damus. I usually follow follow it up by saying its like twitter
I had the same experience, so I started writing about using the lightning network because it seemed like people thought Inwas crazy. A few years ago, most bitcoiners I talked to didn't have a lightning address.
It would be nice to change this criminal image though. Maybe we should design a charity NIP. Back in the day, dogecoin dorks donated dogecoin to various causes back in the day. I think charitable zaps might help our image.

I was told on Telegram by 2 people that censorship by a centralized Big Brother is not only necessary but desirable.
🤮
But Nostr is full of criminals 😎
haha, criminals?
i'm sure there are also terrorists that we must protect the children from 😜
keep on going 💪🫂
I think the few people who do comment on the ewlsewheres seem to be impressed by it technically, but for now not interested in it culturally. Which is quite good really.

I sometimes wonder if reddit posts aren't just mostly bots.
I used to love reddit.
Most have left Reddit
I keep reading from the Kas shillers that lightning is centralised? I'm still learning. Is there any merit to this argument or are they spreading fud?
there are like 12,000 lightning nodes, is that centralized?
I think the usage of custodial nodes on nostr is pretty bad, but that just means we have more work to do.
Many such case I see of being called to "do something", whether by God or the Universe . . . doesn't matter. I am driven to spend time on ideas that have a 1% chance of being something I see happen in my lifetime. I don't really have a choice because NOT doing that thing means anything else I do will be polluted by it.
Something is going on because I ain't the only one who's been "called".

Being called is something most people can't handle. I feel ya.
A man gotta have a code
Keep it up!
We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

Most people don’t know about either, and most bitcoiners have never touched Lightning. It’s exhausting being so early.
Depends what your definition of a bitcoiners is. Most "bitcoiners" are in it for the fiat gains, it seems to me. Too many others follow the Church of Saylor!! Lightning has had great potential for years now. Never fulfilling that potential because the vast majority of Bitcoin holders don't understand a circular economy, nor do they care. It's an unfortunate truth.
Go to Africa, they understand that Bitcoin is money. If the US didn't just pretend it liked btc, then we'd see change. Unfortunately for us, the White House can't weaponise Bitcoin.
Reddit sucks, don't waste time there
If it's any consolation, I was told the Internet was only used by criminals in1989 😂
