what does love mean to you?

Everything
GOD
Ultimate reality
love is great when it's mutual
One sided love is pain
Love conquers all 💜🫂
Unity
Higher feelings.
Love is a choice to loyally dedicate yourself to something because it brings you joy or happiness in some form.
This is a good take.
nothing without context
Unconditional
Love is a feeling
It can be now, or fleeting
Hopefully for keeps
#Haiku
Love is a verb and not a noun.
It involves accepting our own and our partner's imperfections and vulnerabilities.
John Mayer song
Do you want coffee?
Love is a vibration. The highest frequency of vibration in the universe 💓🧬💫
love is peace blissfully...and when you try to describe it's not what you describe
1 Corinthians 13:4-7:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Selflessness 🫂

“one cannot live on love, debts cannot be paid with love” that’s what a song says
John 13:34:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
SECOND THIS
the willingness to offer oneself and one’s time to an entity, a creature, an idea without seeking anything in return.
I heard a good one recently on The Way Forward Podcast. “Love is unconditional acceptance of another being, despite their flaws or faults”
Hard disagree here. Unconditional love is not something you should want or expect. Without conditional guard rails some people will abuse "unconditional love" to no end.
Wanting what's best for someone without conditions
High frequency 🤙🏼
Did the bear market start already?

I don't know.
Something Nostr needs a bit more of today 💜🫂
Thanks for bringing back its beauty 💜
Love to me is what others consider lust. Love is a drug that is incredible and unsustainable. Love slowly transitions into friendship.
I'm not saying you should avoid love, just don't expect it to last forever.

Truly deep, but rare...

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

There are different forms of Love,
Divine Love: The love associated with a higher power.
Unconditional Love: Selfless giving and caring without expecting anything in return.
Maternal Love: The nurturing and protective affection typically shown by a mother.
Romantic Love: The deep connection between two individuals, characterized by commitment and emotional bonding. Soulbinding.
There might be more idk :)

To me, it is the desire to witness the beauty of a thing or person in the highest form... whether with our eyes or our mind's eye... so much so that we will sacrifice our own comfort or gain to experience that.
Giving yourself without wanting anything, even recognition, in return.
Sacrifice
SHARING POSITIVE ENERGY, TAKING THE TIME, AND PUTTING YOURSELF SECOND
Appreciation of the small (sometimes still) moments.
It’s what gives you a reason to keep getting better
Love is an eternity in a moment
becoming selfless
God loved us so much that despite our inability to ever be perfect like him, He came to earth and died so that we might have eternal life with him if we believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ. That’s the most amazing love story ever
love is the most powerful energy in the universe
the buddha stated that it is simply wishing for the happiness of others
much love to you Jack for all you do
Placing those you love above yourself, and discovering that as true happiness.
Family
What can’t be measured.
MLK Jr quote "“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for." I would die for the ones I love. Kudos to @Puzzl35
Thick and thin.
Different things in different contexts
unconditionality
Having differences but always the ability to find the middle way together.
Love in the truest sense is like a magnetic, or gravitational pull.
There's just a fundamental essence that combines you, and your partner, at least romantic love.
Now as for other types of love, I would say unconditionally supporting someone, and trying to help them become better.
“True love is the soul’s recognition of its counterpoint in another”
- Wedding Crashers
Sacrifice
Love is what you give of yourself without requiring anything in return.
If it cannot be defined and/or reproduced, it does not exist.
To love another person consists of three things:
1) a desire for the good of that person
2) warm affections towards that person
3) a giving of one’s self to serve or better the condition of that person
This ☝🏻
Complex answer: The feeling you get when you look at someone or something and know that you would voluntarily sacrifice your time and energy for them.
To make them happy, and / or just to stay in their orbit.
Simple answer: The feeling you get when you have kids.

Love means meeting a Spanish house cleaner and then marrying her after two weeks of never having a conversation with her because I don’t speak Spanish.
Love is not giving up on someone, even when they hurt you, lie about you, mock you, maybe even kill you. Love is taking every moment you have to show them the truth in gentleness and non-judgment, hoping they will at least grab onto even just a small nugget. Love is trusting that the truth will grow in them so that one day they can become the gift that God meant them to be from the beginning. Love is patience, because sometimes that process can take a long time, maybe even a lifetime. Love is accepting that everyone has free will to choose either good or evil, but you hope with everything you have that they choose good.
Willingness to give up everything without asking for anything.
Bible shows us that Jesus did it. "...Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Tough for people to achieve sacrificial love, which would be the highest but it does happen. We see it with people giving up kidneys for family, people shielding people they care about from injury or death with their own bodies, people sacrificing themselves to help people escape things.
Saw this. Immediately thought of John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
We've seen examples of people doing this for others. Sacrificial love is there. We want those we love to succeed and thrive. Parents want this for their children, spouses can want this, you see people shield others from injury or death with their own bodies etc ... Jesus embodied this by dying on the cross.
Have a wonderful day today
Love is... when it doesn't end on the plate...
Love is unconditional. No matter what species... 💚
Time and energy in an abstracted form ⚡️
God, family, truth
Closest way I can explain: 
putting others needs before your own
Enjoying being around and spending time with family and close friends, sharing life together, and being there through the ups and downs. Putting others before ourselves and giving more
love is a force that make us chase him to feel good, moreless like a drug that our brain produces
The opposite of hate.
Awesome question.
When a relationship between two or more sentients bridges the gap to the divine.
Everything.
Love is seeing everyone as son of God, which in fact we are.
Love is the opposite of indifference.
Love is a verb, a willful act of doing something for someone else with zero expectations of getting something in return. You do it because you are driven by something internally, which I call love
Jesus Christ
When you have a kid you’ll find out.
Love is the force that leads me to patiently commit to my no-coiner partner, to stack for both our futures, and to hold onto the hope that one day they’ll see the light of Bitcoin as I have.
Love bridges the gap between our worlds and inspires in me the belief in the power of shared growth, even if one of us is still tethered to fiat.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
🧡
That my wife wants to understand Bitcoin! Can you relate? 🧡🧡🧡
being happy and content with the people you surround yourself with.
love is the communication system of the universe 🌀

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13 NLT
It's a state of mind ! You don't love someone or something. .. you just LOVE !
Having patience, acceptance, dedication, understanding, having the capacity to put the work in and taking a break if/when needed. But also having the heart to let things be if it just doesn't come together like you'd hoped.
please dont start turning nostr into instagram
Never giving up on someone
"If you don't believe in Love.. then what's the point?" - Ron Swanson
"The greatest thing in life is to live, and to be loved in return."

This.
Having someone to share opportunities with.
Love is what God is, what you are, what I am. It is the very essence of ourselves, the fabric of our eternal being.
Earthly love is like fiat love — it’s not real love. Real love is unchanging and eternal, beyond definition and learning.
The ability of being kind to one self and to others
Love is a Fire
That burns through the bullshit
It’s the fabric that connects us all
In every molecule
Love is sacrifice.

How one shows it may differ & that’s expected cause humans always human. We are a perfectly imperfect species 💜
Virtuous behavior
1. not killing
2. not stealing
3. not committing adultery
4. not lying
God is love. God created us in His image. We are supposed to love each other. Best wishes for 2025!
Wanting the best for others without expecting anything in return.
Love is vulnerability, it’s opening yourself up to joy and heartbreak alike, with no guarantees except the experience itself.
Giving away humanity changing code that has the potential to raise us into a new collective resonance. #Satoshi
Love is a reason to live and a reason to wake up. Love is the energy you use to push through hard times when the going gets uncomfortable. Love is something to give and not expected back.
Unconditional
Love is a subjective measurement of one of the four primary resources of civilization, Trust. The other three resources are Capital, Information and Inspiration.
If you love someone, you are giving them a positive value for whether you trust them or not. You can describe love as 100% trust, or anything positive compared to where you see someone else on the same spectrum. You can love one person more than another, because you trust them more. You can love a sunrise more than a rainy day, or you can love how something or someone makes you feel, because you trust that the memory of that feeling is something you can bring back at any time, or get back again and again with the same person or the same experience.
If you lose trust in someone, due to betrayal or a mistake, you can say that you love them less, or that you no longer love them at all. And if someone earns your trust sufficiently, you can mutually agree to spend the rest of your life with them, trading a ring for a lifetime of memories.
you don’t describe that with words. you feel it.
Jesus Christ
God Jesus Christ who was, is and ever shall be! Latin: Deum Jesum Christum
Unpopular opinion: love is a meaningless word—a vague concept often used for manipulative purposes.
Disagree that’s deception, love does exist we experience it in its purest form when with live from our essence and true authenticity
Love = transcendent force that moves from physical attraction to higher intellectual and spiritual forms, ultimately leading to the appreciation of beauty itself (Plato)
Love is the intersection of divinity with our physical reality. 💚
Giving the gift of sats via Strike.
Hey Jack,
I have an Idea, I want to see more people adopting bitcoin and I believe Strike is the best and easiest overall path. This will be win win for all!
Is there a way we can gift someone some sats that are not on Strike yet? Like say I have a nephew and want to gift him some sats to encourage him to adopt bitcoin and set up a Strike account. Like an email link sending him to Strike, set up an account to collect his BTC. I like this idea better than having to snail mail an Opendime for example.
I'm thinking if they are sent an email link letting them know they have some Sats waiting for them at Strike that was given to them as a gift by relative, friend, etc. If they wish to receive their gift they must set up an account at Strike. The gifted funds remain in the senders account on the side or say escrow until they accept. So the gift amount could move into an escrow account in the meantime so no chance of a negative balance. Say if 30 or 90 days pass (or whatever sender selects time limit as to accept) then void and returned to senders account. What ya think?
Hope to hear your thoughts...
I love your mission!
actually a lot
but somehow it vanished more and more
thanks for reminding me anyway
And this is the answer of Venice:
To me, love is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses a range of emotions, behaviors, and attitudes. It can be described as a strong feeling of affection, attachment, or devotion to another person, place, or thing. Love can be romantic, platonic, familial, or self-directed, and it can manifest in various ways, such as care, empathy, kindness, and sacrifice. Ultimately, love is a fundamental human experience that can bring joy, fulfillment, and meaning to our lives.
Unconditionality
I guess caring for the wellbeing of the loved ones
Love means giving and forgiving.
Love for me is the manifestation of beauty. Any process that its final destination is to be in awe with life.

To me real love means mutual exponential growth from the essence, evolving in authenticity everyday and accepting the ups and downs of life with not judgment just looking for inner growth which is coherence between mind, heart and actions.
Love means proof of work ❤️
It means everything to me.
It flows organically from the experience of freedom.
loyalty
Complete comfort and trust that's what it means to me.
