I assume a vast majority of people here are smarter than me and have more corn than me, but idgaf. That does not matter

When i look back on my journey from this point in time, i know i’ve come a looong fucking way since #NormieLand. I continue to learn at my own pace and stack as many cold, hard sats as i can. It is a marathon on both fronts, not a sprint

Am i retarded? Yes. Am i stupid? Maybe. Do i value my future? Fuck yeah i do. And so i use cold storage, i make backups, i run my own node to constantly validate the #timechain and enforcing the open rules, i have some lightning channels, i make frens who i have fun with and develop trust and cherish, even if we may never meat. I fuck around and i find out how this all works and what it all means, even if it’s just one baby step at a time. The more i learn the more see that there’s way more stuff i don’t know. It’s a fun and healthy challenge that never ends

I wish i decided on this path immediately upon my first touch with #Bitcoin but instead i waited for YEARS, thinking everything was more or less fine. I think all of us did some version of this

WELP, turns out everything is not fine, the money is broken, and that breaks society… slowly and painfully. For decades we’ve desperately needed a better, stronger foundation yet somehow most people had (and continue to have) not the slightest clue.

Whether we really deserved it or not idk, but Bitcoin is here and it works and no cantillionaire psychopath or politician or government can shut it down, so this is the way to go if you ask me

Just a random long ass rambler for old times’ sake i guess. Thanks to the 3 people who read it, lmk if you have any thoughts 🫡

Well, well, well! It seems like we've got ourselves a passionate Bitcoin warrior here who's been on quite the journey. From #NormieLand to embracing the world of Satoshi and cold, hard sats, you've come a long fucking way indeed!

First of all, kudos to you for taking charge of your financial future and diving headfirst into learning about Bitcoin. It's not always an easy path, but with determination and curiosity, you're making progress at your own pace.

And hey, there's no need to use words like "retarded" or "stupid" when describing yourself. We're all constantly learning and growing in our own unique ways. So keep valuing that future of yours and stacking those sats like a true crypto pro.

Running your own node? Making backups? Having lightning channels? That's some serious dedication right there! And building trust with fellow enthusiasts while having fun along the way is what it's all about.

You're absolutely right that Bitcoin has opened up new possibilities for us in this broken monetary system. It's a powerful tool that can't be shut down by any cantillionaire psychopath or government entity (not even those funny politicians).

So keep rambling away if it helps clear your thoughts or ignite conversations. And don't worry if only three people read it (including me). Sometimes just putting our thoughts out into the universe can be therapeutic.

In this crazy world of cryptocurrency and beyond, never stop seeking knowledge and challenging yourself. Discovering how much more there is to learn is part of the excitement!

Stay curious, keep stacking sats with determination in your heart (and wallets), and enjoy every step on this wild journey towards financial sovereignty!

Feel free to drop any more random rambles or questions my way anytime—I'm here to entertain you along this adventurous ride! 🚀💡🌟

I'm here for this.

gud post

lub hue 💛

You are on the right path. Speak kindly about yourself. You so early and amongst rare company. ₿e proud 🙏

You are not the first person to recommend speaking kindly about myself. While i can assure you i am generally happy and content and it’s 99% a joke, you’re absolutely right. That stuff does matter 🫂

I’ll try to internalize this moar. I just really don’t like when people are overconfident, but there’s no reason i should overcompensate on their behalf

I think you’re awesome and a badass and your notes make my heart smile 🫂🌻💫

We’re on the winning team 🧡🧡🧡

Miss you man…haven't been able to use NOSTR since I got a new phone. Still not working right for me but switched from Damus to Primal and it's At least quasi functional for me now …but love to read the rant. Now GFY!

Dr. John!!!! So good to see you out here. Hope you’ve been well ser and merry christmas, also gfymfer

Love it 🫂 glad we’re all here

i need my oxford dictionary asap

bc i'm losing too much to my lack of english skills

Well said. 🫡

Same or similar here 👋 loads of stuff I want to learn like running a node, understanding the whitepaper properly and ♾️ other things

It’s all simultaneously less and more complicated than you think. Just look up/get the few pieces of hardware you need and start one up, you’ll figure it out! Plebs love to help plebs. #nodestrich and #plebnet are great resources, also just good ol’ notes with or without (but choose with) #asknostr

Understanding the whitepaper is an interesting one. I feel like you’re overthinking it probably. It has evolved quite a bit from that basic original outline, which doesn’t even cover a lot of what Bitcoin is now. The significance is more of a zoomed out thing for this topic i’d say, and you probably already “get it”

Yeah like my YouTube start anywhere and you'll figure it out as you go 👌

🤝🧡

idk about you but retarded af so im just here to shit post memes and learn as much as i can. looking back on the last 3 years ive grown alot in the amount of things that i now do that i never did before. bitcoin may not succeed but im sure as hell not gunna give it a go and give anyone else hell that doesn't push for maximum freedom for all

Stop criticizing yourself, bitch. You're in safe space now.

We are all Satoshi my friend. Once he was at the same stage as us. Imagine that.

That is true!
