Were you orange-pilled on #Bitcoin AFTER joining Nostr?

I know nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 was but I’m sure there were others.

Would love to set up a nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 live stream panel on the topic of the purple pill leading to the orange pill and hear your stories.

Jap I was first on Nostr then orange pilled 😅

I still laugh at the fact me and aleks purple pill you first lol

Hahah

i had a little stock in bitcoin and crypto and was playing with crypto wallets like metamask and bitpay, but then I got on Nostr, and I am currently waiting for a new phone that has nfc so i can play with bitcoin wallets and i cashed in most of my crypto (the ones i could get out)....i didn't get Bitcoin until I was active on Nostr.

Do you encrypt messages with your BTC wallet?

I was already orange pilling myself trying to #studybitcoin and find good sources and had no idea I would find home and everything I need when Nostr sucked me in.

Bitcoin 1st

Yes! I was asked to give an invoice for 1K sats by a stranger. And that’s when I had to learn of WoS, Lightning and Bitcoin. Never even thought of it before that. 😂

Next step is to run a node

I already went through 2 nodes, and now on my third lightning node, as well as full bitcoin core nodes (x3) . The rabbit hole was deep 😂😂😂

Fractals all the way down

Btc was first for me. Made me appreciate nostr pretty quickly

Yes, I joined Nostr and discovered Bitcoin here from all the great plebs. Best pill combo.

Me!! I was a crapto heathen until nostriches showed me the way to Bitcoin. I got to nostr via hearing about it from Reason magazine. I was a libertarian anarchist looking for a community that really got me, and I found it!

this is definitely me. Nostr principles (interoperability, resilience) brought me in, #lightningnetwork and its potential got me orange pilled

I bought a bit of bitcoin in 2012, and then had some years in the desert making use of it for cash and messing around with ethereum -- took awhile to see proof of stake for what it was, and I hadn't been familiar with the WEF. But #Nostr has reaffirmed my faith in #OrangeLife, and I'm stacking diligently.

I dabbled in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without understanding the economics or deeper fundamentals. Bought and sold at various times of hype. After I got onto Nostr, I was educated thoroughly, with much help from nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a Grateful for their guidance 🙏🏼

Getting zapped for the first time also helped.

Cool, yeah. My story is because of nostr i learnt how to buy my first sats. But I have only ever bought t-shirts from nostr:npub1eequz6v23szzyx9utphsh8kg6kll50wte6sfh4vah8gdjtplcz6qg7at9s and zapped people while helping with onboarding nostr users:) though I’m interested in the protocol, especially as a method of payment for retailers. Probs gonna do the blockchain elective in my studies, which means 10 weeks of intensive study on Satoshi, which will be eye opening I’m sure.

yep. ngl.

i liked the concept, but was too nervous about trying to learn it all, even though my oldest brother has been mining since i can remember…

little by little, learning on nostr has made me ALL for the orange pill. 😂

You guys orange pilled me on here 💯🫂

Not heard of purple pill though...

Years ago, my son tried to explain Bitcoin to me and gave me a book about it for Christmas. I didn’t understand a thing. It was like someone trying to explain how to build an airplane without mentioning that you can actually fly it. I only grasped that concept with Nostr.
