#introductions Hey everyone my name is Andrew and I’m a middle school social studies teacher in Nevada.

In 2019 I knew almost nothing about macroeconomics or currency debasement. I had worked as a professional musician from 2008 and when I was forced to stay home in March of 2020 and cancel a big tour I fell down the #bitcoin rabbit hole.

I realized the government was about to print ungodly amounts of money and it’s by the grace of the universe I discovered nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a on the We Study Billionaires podcast.

I put my 100 hours in and from that moment on moved my wealth into the best store of value on earth called Bitcoin. My life has dramatically improved from March 2020 on.

I’m excited to be here on Nostr and to participate in fiat free social media that cannot be debased by centralization and censorship.

I love when people disagree with me. I love learning new stuff. I’d also love anybody to drop a “who I should follow” on #Nostr #primal below.

And tips or tricks for a beginning user is also welcome. I’m working to figure out the lightning wallet and zaps, I haven’t used it before.

Thank you!

-Andrew

Welcome!

Few things you should know:

1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients

2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people

3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly

4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt t

5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev for most people

have fun!
