Nostr Web Client

In many ways I've completely disconnected from my former fiat life.

My former colleagues & professional connections have largely forgotten about me. They've moved on & so have I. This has happened before when I've shifted careers or physical locations & that's OK. I try not to get too attached to anyone or anything.

I've always been drawn to the autists & neurally divergent people. These are also the individuals that are more able see Bitcoin.

Every time I meet Bitcoiners in meatspace, a small part of me wonders if my former life will collide with my Bitcoin life.

It's come close but theses 2 worlds have never made contact. I both look forward to & dread the day when they inevitably do.

Am I the only one that has these thoughts/feelings?

Dude - your long form writing is pretty damn good.

I was into about page 3 & thinking that this sounds like Rando but more articulate 😆

It wasn't until the Pedro screenshot that I knew it was your peice.

I hate when worlds collide lol

Same - it always reminds me of Costanza's world's theory 😆

I sort of feel the same way about Nostr. While I want to see it grow, I like it without some of the bullshit that goes along with having work colleagues, family and some friends here. That will definitely be a collision of worlds.

People wear different faces in the real world, and like Brisket, as they evolve through their lives their circles change.

By the time normies show up en masse, we’ll have much better key/account mgmt.

You’ll have:

- a “Facebook” type profile that interacts with services attached to your doxx (ie if you need things shipped)

- pseudo(s) for various social circles to maintain privacy across different groups

- burners for trolling and controversial shit and interacting with grey and black areas

The idea of a single keypair/identity over a long stretch of time doesn’t make sense. And given the fragmented nature of relays and the way nostr will grow as many smaller communities rather than this global town square concept, we should get comfortable with this.

Having your real-world identity attached to everything is fiat as fuck. No reason you shouldn’t have a different identity when you’re playing poker vs memeing vs shopping, other than that’s the way things have been done on the legacy internet.

The beautiful thing about Nostr is that you get to shape your feed.

If you don't like someone's vibe or whatever, you can quietly tune them out. Social media was about connecting with people online but then it all became a popularity contest as it then got monetized.

I've unfollowed some influencers reposting their Twitter crap here. I still get their odd nugget of incite via boosts & I'm grateful that my follows will pull them out. I'm just not up for all the noise & engagement farming. Find someone else to stroke your ego.

Like how da fwck are we meant to stand around talking about the match. I can't bring myself down to this mediocre level of interaction, it's tiring. They're not interested in what's going on around them so I'm not interested in them at all.

Have to find people who have not been corrupted by the fiat world so much. Very hard to find genuine humans but when you do you notice them.

I see a higher percentage of them in small towns, small business, no credentials. If they are college educated there is almost no hope. College educated women in cities are almost entirely lost.

Corporate people operate in a world that no longer exists.

I have always been like that too Brisket Snow. Like I’m not an aut but I’m a very introverted psuedo extrovert who get exhausted by ppl quickly and therefore, also have to move on. I always thought it was mean, now I’m convinced it was them 😂😎

There are no coincidences.

There's also nothing to fear or to be forgiven. Fill your heart with love & follow your intuition.
