GM, it’s been a very informative year for me in #bitcoin and everything you find going down the rabbit hole. A big reason for this has to do with me being introduced to #Nostr, in which I have to thank nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p .
I would also like to thank all the contributors on Nostr that I have been fortunate enough to come across. Every meme, to every lastest news, to every brilliant podcast, to every dev, all working to empower the hash power.
Since joining Nostr, I have begin running Bitcoin Core on an old Mac, my own server using nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll , and a lightning node with the help of the nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx and nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t . I found the bitcoin maxi wallet nostr:npub19canpmsgykwumm43uxmp0l5sernavvnrf87mau9a6xnjfx6ajjhsh9qj29. I setup ecash and nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 wallets. Sending ⚡️with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm . I’ve recently began my bitcoin mining journey with Bitaxe. Next on the list Future Bit’s Apollo 2.
The most profound thing of all, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some like minded individuals who understand the potential and importance of Bitcoin. It started with a little hole in the wall, known as nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h. And as we know, those far and few, very hard to find “hole in the wall” are always the best kept secrets. It’s a Bitcoin conference everyday of the week. How fortune am I to be in NYC. From there I’ve found my way uptown to another group of awesome Bitcoiners nostr:npub1r73gmgu7rjstdwuskshn9ztj9rrdrprl5y435yrmtc9qtq4ausfqr0v7zy and I’ve made my home with Brooklyn Bitcoin Meetup, the best Bitcoiners in town! Shot out to nostr:npub1u4wrfgrgu67xfnfdyz7k7s0qhg6kgnus9xd0frrwpxpkttaqp3rsyzm334 for welcoming me. One meet up there was he and I at the bar. Now our community is growing every month!
2024 has been amazing. I expect nothing less in 2025. Looking forward to everything to come with Bitcoin and Nostr in 2025.
