Replying to Avatar Ryan

I came here as with no previous bitcoin (or shitcoin) knowledge of exposure. I learned of it from Twitter, specifically jack & Edward Snowden posting about it. I came for the freedom aspect, having been given the Twitter banhammer a few times too many. The community and amount of real interaction made me stay, in addition to the great learning opportunity for bitcoin.

Wait, you weren't into public key cryptography before you heard about nostr?

It wasn't a foreign concept. I'd been using Linux and SSH since the early 2000's, and had been using keypairs for quite some time, so that part of Nostr made sense to me 💯

Okay. Still, it's pretty impressive that you never created a bitcoin wallet before nostr. Have you ever made an onchain transaction?

Dozens.

But all of these transactions happened after joining Nostr?
