I'm getting there :)
I wanted to get rid of the stigmas I have had and had been given from others about all the Bitcoin related topics - and, my personal way of learning something is by actually doing it. So, in this sense, I wanted to see how self-custodial I can be with a currency and system that is ment to empower the individual. Hence why I now have a Bitcoin Core full node and my own CLN instance! With all the stuff I was told and taught by other people here, I learned a lot and have a much different view on things. Kinda impressive how much goes into this stuff and just the sheer amount of engeneering o.o...
My ultimate goal is to eventually help others get into it, even if I decide to pull out. For now, however, I still have an "incomplete" setup. But I'll get there! :) And once I do, I will be satisfied. And at present, I think I will keep it for a while. #Nostr is fun, zapping creators is neat and giving more than a like but a whole bit of /actual/ value is interesting.
Also, it may help me "market" (for the lack of a better term) Nostr and related to new people or connect the dots to other ideas. Who knows.
