For good advice from real bitcoiners 💪😅💜🧡

Do you also consider zapping people for sharing good advice?

for the people 💜

Which money?

Zaps ser, please enable them ☺️

Just did but to make the point that I wasn't here for the money!😊

Still can’t zap you ser

I’m here for the tech. In fact, everything I'm developing is free 💜

to be honest with you, it's a little bit of both. the Fediverse - where i have lived since 2017 - is a nice place but it's also a bit anti-commercial and it's harder to code stuff for it. Nostr is more money-positive and easier to code for.

Fediverse people come off a little deranged to me .

i find Fediverse people rather hard to put in a box. they're all over the place. you've got the geeks who like the tech, the LGBT people who fled Twitter, woke activists, legit hammer-and-sickle communists, and also people who aren't quite so easy to label, such as the people from noagendasocial.com.

I barely use social media , so I'm unaware of a lot of things . Why did LGBT people flee twitter? Whats noagendasocial about ?

oh, well, particularly trans people tend to get death threats and other kinds of hatred on Twitter, which is unpleasant

in all fairness, i could call Nostr "just coinbros" if i wanted to stereotype it, but really, what i personally see are two crowds who actually have a lot in common. they're just coming from different places.

That's not a dig at you , that's just my experience so far.

Tech!

Enable zaps please ser 💜

Thought I had.

Cant zap you!

Think I've worked it now.

Still new to lightning and thought I set it up correctly. Obviously not and wouldn't have known till someone told me so thank you for letting me know.

It’s working 🫶🏻

Oh wow! Thanks for the Sats. I'll be paying it forward.

🫂

I am using it to promote UTXO POW technology! I love Bitcoin but I also like Litecoin and DigiByte!

For the nostriches.

Zaps came later, but can't deny it was a nice and welcomed surprise and incentive to stay more and completely leave the 🐦 app..

You’re a real driver of nostr and that’s wonderful! 💜⚡️

The tech. But the combination of the tech with the money part is what makes the real difference with other social media imo

I’m here to learn

Always good 🫶🏻

I don’t think any of us will get rich 21 sats at a time!

Developers do make more money - the developer of Damus received 31M sat. That’s a lot in sats, but not really a lot $ for 3+ months of hard work creating the app.

Agreed, I zap ₿ecause it means more than a like. Not looking to get rich just looking to connect with more plebs who have/are good signal.

True. At least for now. Still I see some people receiving quite lot but don’t zap others, which is something I dislike at this stage.

personally for the sense of community and positive love, freedom, knowledge, wisdom vibration 🤙⚡🫂💜

More like for zapping money away! 🐶🐾🫡😂🤣😂

But mostly for tech! 🐶🐾🫡

Zapping money on nostr equals in it for the cause/tech in my opinion

True, all I want is for people to feel cared for and not ignored! Little zaps just like you did, do matter to a lot of folks, even if they don’t admit it! 🐶🐾🫡🫂

Can people that received 5 or even 10+ times more sats via zaps than they sent be considered to use nostr for its cause(tech)?

I’m using Nostr more for the tech. The freedom of speech that can be said in here can’t be spoken anywhere else because once you start it’s immediate account suspension.

Secondly Nostr don’t ask for contact information as other platforms do.

My reasons:

1. To learn more about Bitcoin from an inviting community and how to do all the Bitcoin things

2. Another small way to stack sats

3. Don’t know much about the tech but I’m hoping is contagious

Sounds good. By tech I mainly mean the things nostr makes possible ☺️

In your opinion what does it make possible? I’ve heard about how it’s decentralized and could potentially allow us to post across platforms (I’m probably butchering the explanation).

Have you checked out

https://t.me/bullionbitcoin

on Telegram?

Excellent BTC crowd with lots of info

I do follow them! Sometimes they’re a bit advanced for me, but I like interacting with people so I’m loving this platform too. I also watch Rugpull Radio as much as I can.

Your post is getting a lot of engagement.

Added to the https://member.cash/hot feed

just for fun and curiosity

honestly Im using it to get in touch with like minded people, to have fun and possibly get some alpha knowledge which maybe can help me make some money. Hate me or not, but sometimes Im flipping shitcoins too 🙉 🤷‍♂️

I think if you want to enjoy nostr to the fullest. The one does not exclude the other ! Both 🫶
