I do but it’s going to be difficult.

I think it’s hard to make genuine friends in general because people have become very transactional and that doesn’t make for strongly bonded relationships. People are struggling to meet their needs so they don’t have the capacity to develop themselves into a good friend.

I’ve met several people in the bitcoin space who are so busy building that unless you’re doing that they don’t have time for you. I’ve also met people who can’t interact with people who drink because it’ll disrupt their sobriety. It can also feel one sided when you’re always checking on others but they don’t check on you. All of the things that make you feel alone are also things that make you an interesting person.

Your tribe will see that and know it. Those will be the people that’ll be your friend and they’ll be great at any age.

I hope so but where I’m from if there are 200 people countrywide who have an understanding on BTC and what is actually happening in the world..

Maybe I must just accept that I’ll be alone by myself for awhile and I’m happy but someone who use to be the social one.. then Saifedean wrote his book 🤣🤣

I totally understand! There is nothing wrong with being alone! You have time to build self awareness and that’s an attribute of an awesome friend!!

Taking the orange pill kind of ostracized me within my community back home. People I considered friends or who I really wanted to build relationships with annoyed me because they didn’t understand and they weren’t interested in learning.

I thought going to bitcoin conferences would make it easier to have likeminded friends … it didn’t. I met some awesome people but they weren’t very relational away from the conference stages. Which can be really confusing, hurtful, and isolating.

People make time for the people they want to spend time with and they befriend people they value. Some of the strongest relationships I’ve built have come from #nostr because people here tend to understand what makes a person valuable beyond what they can do for you.

Nostr is phenomenal.. one it’s because you can be yourself and not get feed bullshit from the algorithms and you get honest no nonsense responses I’ve found..

I haven’t been to conferences but it’s difficult because of my fiat mining job because if I get “caught” it could jeopardize the company because of our client base…
