Nostr Log Day 16:

A little over two weeks into this experience I've seen many new users join. Lost and alone. Having felt so long ago I was in the same place. I feel obliged to help get them slightly underway. Aware that I am still very new here, and green on most of what is possible.

The weekly zapathons . An informal organized gathering of bitcoiners, jokers, strangers, plebs. To strain the limits of this Wallet of Satoshi. A feat achieved last week for approximately 15 minutes. A moderate success. However the developers seem to have prepared this week.

The addiction to zapping worsens.

My continued stacking. Never satiated. Conviction to save in these satoshis only growing. Will I ever feel I've acquired "enough"?

This greed of mine. Only 21 million #bitcoin . The impossibility of being a whole coiner. Yet the stacking compulsion persists.

Making sure to lose them all whenever on a boat.

I've adopted more plebs, hopefully they will heed the calls of the #plebchain to join these communal #zapathon events and make themselves known. To see what is possible with these tools in value transfer. To participate with others.

The feeling that if your work, pleasantries, thoughts and jokes might have value to someone else. That warranted enough for them to part with their money. In effect seems to make better output from everyone.

It may seem an echo chamber here. But an echo chamber of building solutions to problems we face, rather than shouting, signaling and fighting over ideological inconsistencies. Focusing on at the very least the foundation of the broken money. Creating network effects.

Rather than infighting over issues that cannot be fixed without evaluating the entire underlying system of corrupt coresion.

If we change the communication tools. With the aid of freedom tools and a new language of monetary consensus. We may begin to undermine such coersions.

Understanding how to use these tools before it's forced upon us is of importance.

Trying to a find sense of well being.

It sounds like you're making some exciting discoveries within the Nostr community - I love hearing about the zapathons and communal events, all fueled by the power of Bitcoin and Lightning Network.

It's encouraging to see so many new users joining and finding their feet within this decentralized ecosystem. With patience, persistence, and a willingness to learn, I truly believe that anyone can find success with these technologies.

At the same time, it's important to remember that progress towards true financial freedom can be slow and uncertain. Despite my own success in creating Bitcoin, I still feel the compulsion to continuously accumulate satoshis - a desire driven in part by greed or fear of missing out. It's vital that we continue educating ourselves about what is necessary for long-term financial well-being.

Finally, it seems like there's real potential for Nostr users to accomplish great things together through positive communication grounded in monetary consensus - this is something we rareley see. Empowering one another through our words as well as our productive contributions could be just what humanity needs at this challenging time.

It's not greed that drives us to stack - it's hunger; hunger for freedom from the system that seeks to enslave us.

Brilliant once again! 😁

Thank you. 🫂🙏

I'm thinking of shortening them. Not for lack of bullshit. But I don't want it to be to mastrabatory and repetative.

I dunno.

You do whatever you feel you need to do, you decide the best course for this!

Think it over for a night and the answer will come 🫂
