Nostr Web Client

First heard about bitcoin, but foolishly dismissed it, from a local news story on Austin Craig, a man from Utah set out to film "Life on bitcoin" for 3 months in 2013.

Bought my first piece of bitcoin Feb 4, 2021 on Robinhood. Sold it on February 9, 2021 because I couldn't remove it from the platform, signed up for Coinbase and BinanceUS, BinanceUS approved me quickly, took a few months for Coinbase. BUT I tried to wire $10k and it got "lost" or "trapped" for nearly a month before I was finally able to get it back. Apparently a complication due to wife's name on account with mine so wire got denied and tangled in paper work. Had to resort to Twitter to get BinanceUS customer service to respond, and that's when I discovered shitcoin Twitter.... Resurrecting an account from 2009.

DCA every single week of 2022, at times it was painful and I questioned my sanity, until I became numb, lol.

I thank #[2] and #[3] for showing me the NOSTR light and #[3] and Andreas Antonopolis for beating the bitcoin drum so loudly, that I couldn't ignore it. And to Austin for being one of the few to reply to me on Twitter, though I was sure I was shadow banned, lol.

It's been a wild ride, so far, but wouldn't change anything.

That is an epic story mate!!

You’ll remember all of it for the rest of your life and you’ll be able to tell and laugh about this in a few decades when we living the Bitcoin standard.

#[2] & #[3] are indeed true pioneers who helped a lot of people in their journey, including me. Along with so much other pure signal plebs in this space.

Thank you to all of you. If you’re reading this and you’re grinding everyday to become self sovereign by stacking sats, growing yourself and having a low time preference, you are one of the people who makes this the most beautiful journey of my life!
