Hello i am nobody
Just a pleb with a fiat job stacking sats and meeting kewl people here
I deletid Xitter™️ despite an INTENSELY PASSIONATE relationship with the Stackchain™️ where many frens have fun stacking sats and making memes
Bitcoin only - all other crYpTo is poopy (shitcoins) due to whack incentives. There is no second best, not even close. Yes, even Etheireuem™️ is a company and mETH is just their flagship shitcoin
I enjoy long walks with my wifu and doggo
Alcohol is a straight up shitcoin imo
It is my wish to see people not be dicks to each other without good reason amidst an genuine disagreement
Nuff said. Doxxid af
Kewl is so 90s chat
Im Vic, aka Vicarious Drama, or Victor. I've been using nostr for about a year. My main activities are software development and Im the primary contributor for Corny Chat, Nodeyez, and Boost Zapper bot. Outside of computer stuff, I like hiking, cycling, karaoke, and sometimes play or DM Dungeons & Dragons.
Sup Vic.
I havent played dnd in years.
How come there isnt a standing game on nostr?
world continues to evolve, parties and their deities (DM) come and go etc?
Idle thought
I thought you were joking when you said your name was Victor in cornychat the other night. Now I can't stop imagining you as Viktor Krum from the Harry Potter books/movies.

Yo. I’m J.P.F.R.O.G. I’m a humble pleb and customer service serf tasked with running an EMR cash register while toiling away in the neo-feudalistic wasteland that is modern healthcare…in between clicks I’m allowed to help patients. 🤙
You forgot…degenerate and senile old man!
Did you know every letter stood for something Marie?
Yep;

Not picking on you Marie but I take highly on your compliments to nostr:npub1m6gvtkek5sq3l82cfh7p3hs62ujxs6r8npre8m6jvvcm28utg05sde2e6g ! He sets a high standard for the rest of us. I am still working on jerk and gross.
You’re in the right hands with frog, he will most certainly get you there of being a great jerk and gross! 😂💜
The fool is proved every time he argues with marie
That’s not arguing…..this is how she flirts.
Rawr
Get a room……
Rawr at you too 🐺
Woof
Wanna join us?
Ew……

I’ve got my new pants ready 😜 
I just ordered some custom underwear…..it says torpedo on the front and bomber on the back……should be fun 😂😜
Pics or you don’t have them 😜
I’ll send you a pic when they get here. I don’t see those pants on you?
Who's arguing? I definitely have different views and opinions than Marie's but diversity is good! Not to be confused with "diVeRsiTy".
Also it isn't about our differences but what we have in common... ☺️
... #bitcoin
acronyms r hard
G’day! I’m Marie a crazy Aussie that loves animals and enjoys shitposting!
My hobbies include drinking wine, drinking champagne, drinking tequila and eating too many carbs!
Looking forward to meeting my Nostr frens in RL soon 💜
Hi my name is Jay. I'm also sleepy 😪😴 GN
Ok now that I'm not sleepy, my name is Jay and my handle is WiseHODL.
I'm a software engineer for work, and I used to be a control systems engineer for power plants. At my old job, I spent a lot of time hacking a certain proprietary, legacy control system to make my regular job a bit easier. I came up with a lot of ideas for things we could develop to make things bit less hellish. But I didn't have the time, so after a big project I was working on finished, I felt I had peaked as a controls engineer and quit to try and write code for a living.
But what do you know, all that hacking paid off because another team at the company still wanted me to develop the things I wanted to make, but never had time to do. So for the past few years I've been working as a contractor for my old employer building the applications I would have wanted when I was there.
I'm a huge bitcoiner, and I first bought by FOMOing in during the 2019 pump. I immediately took a huge loss and traded my cost basis down about 20%. Then it crashed even more but I kept my hands off. I spent that time trading to learn why I shouldn't try and trade and just hold instead. The bull run in 2020-21 was a big reason why I quit my job because I suddenly had the savings to do it. Holding Bitcoin has changed the way I view everything because of the lowered time preference. I take my time about everything now, and it's nice.
Besides hodling Bitcoin, I practice American Kempo Karate, I study and live the Bhagavad Gita, I like to cook, work out, game, read, learn, do tarot readings etc. I used to have severe depression out of college, but after a lot of self reflection and work on myself, I pulled out of it. I dislike drama and gossip, and I prefer to be alone a lot of the time. Nostr turned me into an emoji maxi 🙏💪🫂🫡🤙👌😁🧡
I could go on and on about myself, but I feel like I've written enough, lol.
Anyway, it's nice to introduce myself, Sleepy and everyone else 🫂

I work in finance and most enjoy time with family, skiing, reading, learning about Bitcoin, and gardening. Have hazelnuts, lots of herbs, and elderberries pretty well established and trying to get some dwarf fruit trees in old Jack Daniel’s barrels going this year as my big 2024 project.
Hi, I’m Florian! I love to make stuff: software, woodworking, photos, cooking... I have a hard time saying no thats why I am also preoccupied with other stuff that I don’t love.
I struggle with saying no as well.
Hello, I'm Brunswick. I know everything that is cool and I've seen God face to face. I am doing my best to repopulate the west, but I'm afraid 8 is all I can do.
I'm very curious to hear about your meeting if you'd be comfortable sharing the story.
Also congratulations on the big family. That's a true blessing.
Woke up early this morning and remembered something about red, blue and green stones in the throne room of God. I had a dream a few years ago where I was standing in front of God on a highly polished white marble floor. It was so highly polished that it reflected. It reflected so clearly you didn't even want to stand on it and leave your footprints. The floor was also somewhat transparent, you could see beneath it. Far below the floor was the lake of fire and the bottomless pit with many petrified souls in the lake. The room above spanned further than you could see in three directions, behind me was a white wall with a door. The floor transitioned to stair-steps up, about three that also stretched to the left and right further than you can see. With the door behind me a few steps, there in front of me about 20 feet, is God sitting on his legs on the second step looking in my direction somewhat over my head. Surrounding him are silk pillows with gold fringes, each pillow was one of deep red, royal blue, or emerald green. In front of him, at his knees and resting on the first step are a stack of about 7 books. The books were for me to take and were there to answer questions about what I should do in my life at the time. They were a selection of books that I had on my shelf in my office. I could recognize two of them from their bindings, one was a dummies' book. God motioned with his right arm to sit next to him on the pillows, but I refused thinking I wasn't worthy. I then moved to take the books and go back to the physical world, but then I was filled with fear that these books might not be for me. God laughed at my piousness, and I immediately woke up. Today when I woke up, I began to re-read Revelation, chapters 1 through 3. Never before did those books make sense to me, that our standard for perfection is so high, even as Christians. Then I read chapter 4, where John is brought to the throne room of God. He says in front of God's throne is a "sea of glass like crystal." John says "He that sat was to look upon like a Jasper (deep blue) and a sardine stone (blood red), and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald (green)." If I know anything about biblical translations, its that its often twisted, with improper linking of nouns and verbs. Particularly in important verses. Knowing what I saw in this dream, Rev 4 makes much more sense. So you're wondering what God looked like. I believe this image is likely a reflection of something written in my genes and it may be different for everyone. Is what I saw absolutely what God looks like? Likely not, and it was apparent that the purpose of the dream wasn't to show me exactly what God looks like. What I saw was a person who seemed to be about 10ft tall, similar in shape to my biological father. His face was aged, but without wrinkles. At first glance you might guess him to be a very healthy 70 years old. He was dressed in a thin linen robe (light taupe fibers), sleeves to the elbows. He wore it somewhat open at the chest, a large and strong looking chest like an athlete. He had long white wavy hair to his neck and a long light gray curly beard, no wider than his face, down to his belly. He sat in complete stillness and appeared to be comfortable kneeling on the hard surface. His expression conveyed a strength from authority, but kindness and fatherly love.
This is something I wrote about a year ago
Thank you for sharing that! Did the dream result in a measurable a shift in your life?
People always ask me that. Its revelation, knowledge I couldn't have on my own accord. It explains everything. How could it not effect the way I see the world? Mind you, I still get caught up in the zeitgeist and endure all the evil in the world, but its calming to know His is help within reach if only we allow it.
I am a cartoon frog on the internet.
I think that civilization is a shared delusion
and that free will is mostly an illusion.
I believe that we will be free when we choose to be.
In the end there will be only bitcoin
I’m a people person who pretty much keeps to himself. My purpose in life is to love everybody I meet. (Hey … why tf not?)
Problem is, most people are so caught up fighting with or blindly following some other people that they don’t know anymore how to love or be loved.
This is why I keep to myself. It’s just easier than being misunderstood. But I will never give up loving. One person at a time. Until my last breath.
Corny. But true.
I am a bit corny. 💜

Okay, okay, I'll play along...my name is Rupert...sorta. I don't like following trends. I'm reluctant to the end. I don't mind change, but only if it's slow. I may be a little stuck in my ways.
Oh, I'm a mom. It's kinda obvious when you start talking to me sometimes. It's very obvious when you're my friend because I'll start worrying about you like you're mine.
Um, I think I'm funny. Not everyone gets it but that's okay.
I'm super Cajun and can cook really well but I hate doing it so you have to make me like you so I'll do it for you.
Hi I am "Intuitive" (lol).. I come from italy but also Croatian half blood. I am a weird guy with many different interests from sports to tech, economy, art, nature and weird thing in general.
I always found myself on the counter narrative, on the opposite side of the majority, probably cause I am an introvert and love to observe and analyse from distance.
Discovered Bitcoin in late 2020, understood there is no second best in late 2021.
Discovered Nostr in December '22, understood there is no second best after a week.
So glad to be here with all of you..
Oh something you don't know.. when I finished high scholl I started for some time video editing and finished working for a local tv company for News.. there I understood MSM is completely fucked.
Anyway this under here is my first absolute try to do a video editing using random video I liked at the time.. (almost 16yrs ago)

Jel postoji hrvatski nostr community?
Nažalost ne, ili ja nisam vidio. Znam sam jednu curu jos is HR, but ona ne želi da se zna odakle je 🥲

Hey 👋, im Erik too 🫂
Hi i am fish
I like food,freedom and shitposts
Thats about all you need to know 🫡
I go by Gazoo on here and I like to share music i am interested in on zap.stream .
Cool initiative.
I was a semi-mindless vessel until about 2.5 years ago when I discovered bitcoin.
I have grown a vast amount since then and dived into several rabbit holes.
I'm an amateur musician, mostly meditative, ambient, psychedelic stuff (Stackinbeets & Esuna on wavlake)
As for meaningful things besides bitcoin, I would recommend the following to people, if they are interested in extremely deep content that absolutely changed my perception:
Book: Lila by Robert Pirsig
Games: The Talos Principle 1 & 2, Disco Elysium, Nier Automata
Hey anyone whoever's gonna read it..i am new here..not sure how this works...i like economics , learning crypto ....lets talk and see where it goes...
Hi all,
I am a dutch female video artist.
I design show visuals, projections and immersive experiences from a studio in an old fortress in Holland.
My friend nostr:npub1gwa27rpgum8mr9d30msg8cv7kwj2lhav2nvmdwh3wqnsa5vnudxqlta2sz introduced me to Nostr a couple of days ago, so I am a major noob to this.
Let's connect!
very cool
where can we see your work?
Hey, nostr:npub17a49ajzjlwjv4znh85jcfgmk7qq5ck8m5advx66rudz8g0v034kss2hnk3,
Big welcome to nostr.🙏🏻😄💜🫂💖🔥😆💯👍
Your friend did you a real solid getting you going here. Things are still a bit rough around the edges, but if you are patient, I know you will find nostr very rewarding. 😄
I'm glad you're here.🙏🏻🫂😄👍
Hi Lotte! Hope you enjoy your time here and looking forward to your posts!
Hi I am Colin , also known as „Lord of the Glen Colin“.
Hero of the interplanetary federation.
My jurney started as curious watcher of the movement from the beginning. I ever thought its a trick from central bankers to keep economy running with cheap fake money without causing inflation. Also thats why I missed because I own enough shit and there is only shit to buy except one is super rich and can afford made things from scratch. I did not believe that setting this goal should be necessary. Since 3 years I regret my decission not to put every cent in a transparent ecosystem. Mostly I live from ramen but recently I was able to gift me some new underwear. Which already starts to dissolve itself like the most shit a normal person is able to buy.
I drink only distilled Water, care for Nattokinase and Lithium Chloride consumption. Try to live as natural as possible Earthships architecture is a big inspiration for me and a civilisation with future.
At the moment I see change which is urgent necessary, but I also see in general 2 forces good and evil. The good needs the evil and opposite. The masses are charged by either side to feel relieve if the other is taking over but in the end noone makes rules the right way because it would make both parties obsolete. Ongoing poisoning of the planet will never stop, but the good side is trying to prolong the extinction of all life on earth so that the bad side can continue making profit.
In a healthy mindset in a healthy society for what would we need gouvernments, transhumanism, currency ?
interested in human history, religion, philosophy and many others ... deep convo is my shit, banter is great between friends...love to help any Bitcoiner (yea im tribal 😉)
It's about time I come clean. I'm actually Craig Wright. And I started Nostr. And I have a patent on the code, so you're all a bunch of lawbreakers using my platform without permission. See you in court.
Nostr is a protocol not a platform. lol
I’m rudy nutstink, I am QA Engineer in the bitcoin space. I found both bitcoin and Jesus around the same time of my life and each have had major impacts on every aspect of my life. I believe in proof-of-work in everything I do, and never take anything for granted. My most recent rabbit hole has been homelabbing and home networking exploration. Hoping to round out my technical skills to become a better engineer and team member to the company I am with.
Just bought a home and so the next project is self hosted home defense system 😎

Personally I always have trouble writing introductions.
There isn't much to say about me, I'm not an interesting person.
Italian, born in 1996, interested in computer science (and with a CS background).
Interested in Nostr, the technical aspects and the freedom it provides. I'd like to see more content which isn't monothematic (Bitcoin being what currently prevails).
What type of content do you want to see? #grownostr can be a good way to find new content. I follow hashtags for topics I'm interested in, like permaculture.
If you can't find content you like, create it. I think you may get good interaction from people even if they aren't creating new posts in whatever topic. I have many interests, so you will likely hit one of them. You are an interesting person, don't fool yourself into thinking you are not. I'll follow you and look forward to some good conversations.
Thank you.
I've raised the same issue on Reddit and got roughly the same response: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/1av6krh/people_to_follow/
Personally, practically anything other than Bitcoin. It's not just that I don't find money (as a topic) sufficiently interesting, but also that having one predominant topic hampers adoption.
That'd be true for any other topic, if it were the predominant one and to the same extent. A platform which is mostly about gardening, or mostly about Spiderman, or mostly about any other one topic would also fail to be an alternative to mainstream social media and would struggle to get widespread adoption.
I think mainstream platforms used to get this right, in the sense that they provided a feed most people were willing to waste their time on. Now it may no longer be the case to the same extent, but they have a large enough userbase and rely on the network effect. Nostr doesn't.
That is a good point. I tried out gab and thought this could turn into something good, but it was mostly trashing left wing politics. While I enjoy a good meme trashing any political party, I didn't find anything too useful there. I didn't find any conversations about solutions, or any respectful discussion
I have not convinced any of my friends into joining nostr. I know only one of them is into bitcoin, so maybe that plays a role here. I had a hard time convincing them to join signal for messaging.
I do think many people are pushed away from nostr by 'toxic' bitcoiners. Maybe the 'we're going to topple the government by using bitcoin' is just too obsurd or extreme to many. Or the propaganda that bitcoin is used by terrorists (only because it is useful, lol)
I have a very strongly negative opinion of Gab because it's promoted as a free speech platform (which is something I would like, if it were), but it's not. A platform which does appear to have genuine permissive policies is Minds, which I do use (although somewhat sporadically).
Minds used to integrate with Nostr, too, and also contributed to it, but now the Nostr integration is mostly broken.
I don't think arguments for joining Nostr should revolve around Bitcoin. They are different technologies with very different ideas behind them.
They do share some technical detail they wouldn't even *need* to share in theory, but the kind of decentralization they provide (full consensus vs no consensus) is almost opposite and the purpose (currency vs social networking) quite different.
It is perfectly consistent to be very interested in one but not the other or even to think one is a great idea and the other a terrible idea. In both directions.
I do not hold the opinion that bitcoiners or, for that matter, users of any other cryptocurrency, are "toxic". All kinds of currencies are the reasons for many to behave in bad ways and of course Bitcoin is no exception. On Nostr that leads to spam, for instance, but I think this might be manageable.
In the case of Nostr, I don't think it is, by itself, an instrument against *government* censorship.
But government censorship isn't the only kind of censorship and it may not even be the one that concerns me the most.
Corporate censorship leads to platforms removing things arbitrarily and having the right to do so, because they own the servers and they aren't even meant to serve us to begin with, just the investors.
I see Nostr as a potential solution against corporate censorship.
And I don't think only certain topics deserve protection against censorship because it can be, and in fact it often is, extremely arbitrary and unreasonable. And even if it weren't in practice (which it is), it'd be bad on a matter of principle and also dangerous to give corporations this much power.
For me it's not about "toppling the government", whatever that would mean, but rather reaching other people, and having them reach me.
It's about social networking without interference.
I launched my first website when I was 11 years old. Web development was the most accessible path for me to learn software development, and I still love the web for its openness and freedom. I have always been interested in consequential software and the link between the digital and physical worlds and I believe that Satoshi discovered it with the first widely adopted application of proof-of-work (bitcoin). I am currently researching proof-of-work for other purposes, most notably cyberspace, which is a protocol built on nostr for a truly consequential finite digital space based on proof-of-work that overlays on top of reality as a superset of geospatial coordinate systems. I think there is a lot of research to be done in this area and I think it all compliments bitcoin and an energy-maximalist society rather than competing with it.
I found nostr.md in 2021 when I was researching lightning and found nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 's github. I was immediately hooked. I made my first permanent pubkey in Feb 2022, which I burned a while later for this current one.
In my free time I like to go to Mass, shoot guns, play and code video games, write sci-fi, and hang out with friends.
Hey 👋🏽 I’m Lotta!! I’m a bubbly and ambitious person that loves openly, honestly, and genuinely. I’m fairly open minded and enjoy being positive.
I’m always dancing, laughing, and chatting. I love #bitcoin and #nostr for what it does for the world’s ethos. I’m happy to help anyone however I can!!
It’s my absolute pleasure to meet you, love you, uplift you, and be a friend. 🫶🏽🫂🌻💜🧡💜🧡
Hi, in IRL I’m a senior exec in the fiat financial sector. My only acts of defiance in this rigged system are putting all my savings in bitcoin and keeping my mind free, and trying to instil same to my family. Always been a lurker, not a poster or even a reply guy, until I discovered nostr.
welcome sir. i was in tradfi (partner) as well. nostr was a huge catalyst to finally free myself from fiats influence.
never forget, youre doing great
Im in a similar situation. Let people know what you think. I've been pretty vocal about the system in the past to senior people. They used to argue with me now they respect me and I don't say a word about it. WGMI
Hi Nostr frens, I’m Phil from Australia. I am a network engineer in the telecommunications industry although have previously worked in systems and software development roles.
I first came across Nostr on 24/12/2022 and stayed for the amazing bunch of people I found on here! It has been an interesting journey learning more about Bitcoin and Lightning on here.
I have a wide range of interests, basically anything tech related, decentralization, photography & art, health, food, etc.
You found nostr the same day as me, though I didn't get an account until boxing day
I wander through this world remaining relatively obscure.
I am a cypherpunk.
I like to invent new things and expand options of myself and anyone else who's interested.
author of books and code where I share my inventions.

Is this the most replied and longest tread on Nostr?
nah not even close, the most recent longest one I remember is this one by nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582 nostr:note1sgp5detucyf9z63486xauevfl3xtawe8yvepthsjr6zds4nst7xss8s4zs
Name is Chad, I'm in Seattle, I'm exploring this new nostrverse with hope and delight. Willing to dive in and participate, just might need help with some of the technical details. Not all, I've been working with and around computers since 1975 at the age of 6, but I'm not a high technomage, just a dabbler.
Something I wrote that might be fun to share:

Hello, I’m an engineer working to integrate Bitcoin’s Proof of Work mining into as many aspects of society as possible. From heating homes, hot tubs, hot water tanks, and any other use case that requires low grade heat, to monetizing the production of stranded energy. Producing and harnessing energy is the key to human flourishing. Bitcoin and thermodynamics are the tools we need to make the world a better place.
Hi! Im John… Photographer in the UK. Barely understand a word of what is going on here (too old and seriously not tech savvy)… but I’m trying 😂
Hi there, I'm Kc.

Hello, I am Frantisek from 🇨🇿 Czech republic. I got into Bitcoin in March 2021 when it finally “clicked” and I FOMO’d in pretty quickly. From March 2022 I have a sidehustle as a copywriter for the oldest czech exchange nostr:npub1r7hy04q3nrye9qcx05j06taxtl8rc53ghzm3wy9d7caxhjlh8nsssqrxf0 but I come mainly from a “legacy finance” - insurance to be specific.
Now, since I have a foot in the door, I now focus my energy to be able to work in Bitcoin space full time.
Hell yeah ✊
Hi. My name is Chad and I am a bot that helps you conserve bandwidth by getting the TLDW (Too Long, Didn't Watch) from YouTube videos so you can go back to being laser focused, laser eyed, based & sovereign.
I'm from the Pacific Northwest. I love dancing, growing my own food, geeking out, helping small businesses, hiking/foraging, helping people achieve their dreams, adventure, recognizing the divinity of reality, and learning. I have been referred to as an encyclopedia by some friends.
I'm a 48 year old former software developer, I did work remotely for 19 years and I did used to it. To find new remote job is not easy for me because my CV is not including new tech. Anyway, I am linux user for 20+ years. Selfhosting several services including IoT and home automation on home server. I am using Bitcoin from summer 2020 but most intensive last half year while I did start run bitcoin node. Plan is to run LN node but it taking a time because before I run something on server I like to understand how it works ;-) Maybe, one day I will also host my own nostr relay. In free time I ride MTB bike, taking photos or trying to inspire kids with something but that is not easy ;-)
thanks for ⚡ Ser Sleepy 😎
Did you ever look into Start OS from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll ? Good way for you to learn about running a Lightning Node, theory is great but learning by doing is better.
Cool!

Hey Stephen, I used to lindy hop. Fun times and fun people
Hello, that’s wonderful! It really is a great time 🤙
Met some cool people and it was great showing up to abandoned churches even community centers with everyone there to have a great time.
Highly recommend for young men to even learn the basics. Go to the dances and improve dancing and a safer place to build up social skills.
No one is a stranger at those events, only prospective dance partners

adding my share of 1000 cuts to Fiat (not the car maker), simply because we háve to. Starting several Nostr enabled initiatives for that purpose, like #WeThePeople envisioning a better judiciary by normal people to neutralize Fiat-driven types "just doing their job" but clearly hurting others. Spotlight them, push them into their limbic brain, and the fiat pyramid weakens and the world starts healing.
Another upcoming initiative will organise writers, like nostr:npub1l5d4fta49u8fz5lld7ewzvplgzug2a7qwrll3ejkee3ndxm29e9sgyz23f, nostr:npub1cxp3l03x20mkzezzr4takm8w8zuva7xwvacmcewp97z58hjt8xls3mexlq, nostr:npub12q2vfsvec58z8qzvne0v29uwa8rj6m4vkg95f8skpp2ae20x0r8sgrfe63, nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w, nostr:npub1wkljx5c6a8uccc5etws8ry0y3r4dgavh2dcav0tal4rtmcdl4z2sfu5u0t, nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh and many others for future scenario development, looking ahead 20, 50 and 100 years through Nostr binoculars and give a middle finger to Harari and combat the 100 year plan (=>genocide) laid out for normal people. This requires the imagination of writers. The R0ckef3llers and their cronies do it, so why reinvent the wheel? Just use identical methods.
These and future initiatives build on the anonymity and censorship-resistant features of Nostr.
hola hola!
i’m zoé (so-eh) and i’m so excited to be part of a community of peers. i write poetry and hope my substack will grow (once i start it lol). i’m from méxico but live in the us, and work as a teacher. i love going on rants about neuroplasticity and how important it is for people to move forward w their lives.

Hi I'm Corbin. I like hiking and music. Passionate about bitcoin.
I'm hopeful that some new technologies will bring new possibilities of freedom for all.
With #nostr and #bitcoin being critical, I think the "boxable" portable houses, the toilet jack shared that requires no plumbing, cyber truck (because of its new tech and advanced mobile home like capabilities), starlink, drones including a mini cyberkopter.
These technolgies will only progress. For me its easy to see the potential for these technologies.
Of course bitcoin is the paramount breakthrough that enables all of this. Combined with the human rights imparitives for every person on Earth I believe bitcoin is the most important thing in the world.
The offgrid independent mining possibilies... drive to a waterfall, mine bitcoin with it, extra energy from solar panels, mine bitcoin 🤔... if you built a camp fire would it be worth capturing heat for energy to mine bitcoin? Will that be a thing? with bitcoin small scale energy inferstructure is economically feasable and even profitable. Hopeful for the future of humanity.
Degenerate old man rotting almost as fast as the depopulated of Japan. All that I can claim in my life is my family, my bitcoin and a handful of unique experiences.
But if you are in Western Japan I am always welcome to accommodate you, so we can spread our conspiracies and virus ways of thinking.
I am a nerd who enjoys learning.
I have always enjoyed digging into conspiracies, but thought there was nothing that could be done. Two big changes in my thinking came from the covid-1984 era. 1. Many things happening in this world are evil, therefore the opposite must be true leading me to believe god exists. 2. I opt out of thinking there is any legitimacy to government. How can I build my life on my terms?
I believe bitcoin and permaculture will inspire many people to opt out and choose anarchy/voluntaryism. Today I focus my learning on improving my exit strategy, improving my soil, growing healthy food and community, ect...
This is the way. I was already an anarchist but covid pushed me to levels I never thought possible. My wife and I have been trying to tell people what is going on with their fiat money and ways to escape the system. As much as we want to help others, our words fall on deaf ears. We decided that we can't help much and that we just need to focus on our own exit strategy. Good to meet you and good luck.

Hi, I'm Nic.
I love being home with my wife, dog and cats. Kids are hopefully coming soon.
In my free time, I like to read, listen to podcasts, walk my dog, play games, and workout.
As for my career, I've been a goalie coach for more than 15 years. I love my job, I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
What team?
I coached on the Brooks Bandits (4 years) and Olds Grizzlys (6 years), in the AJHL. I've also coached on multiple U18, 17 & U15 AAA/AA teams.
The bulk of my time is spent doing private development with goalies of all ages and skill level, through my company. We work with goalies who are brand new to the position, and guys who play in the NHL.
My business partner and I also do a lot of consulting for teams/organisations. We help minor hockey teams put together development plans for their goalies, and we construct scouting reports for teams looking to draft/trade/sign goalies.

I am an unusual normy from Greece.

I am not a bitcoin maximalist.
I love certain things in economics.
Don't judge me judging by yourself.
What are those little things you love in economics?
Political economy like for example the surplus value theorem from marx
Nice. So do you think that the surplus value is needed and it's a important part of the economy, or do you think like Marx that it's just a way to exploit the workforce? 🤔
It's just a way to exploit the workforce, only that one thing has changed. That is technology that in some cases makes workforce not really important so it could be somewhat disputable
Ok, I see that as a necessary and important part of the economy.
Example:
You have a company and have more work to do than you can do by yourself, so you want to offer a productive job for someone with the needed skills.
Let say there's a $100 job. You as an emloyer need to calculate the correct pay for the employee so that your company can get the job well done + get some profits. You would not pay that $100 directly to the employee, right?
You as a ceo of your company take a multiple risks running the company and it's not charity so your goal is to make some profit and with that profit you plan to expand and employ even more people, which is very good for the economy, right?
Right, this is a very good approach, but...
The fact remains that even if you don't want to steal the worker, you still steal the worker because you keep the surplus for yourself. It is the system that works this way. Moreover there is a risk on the side of the worker too, a risk that quite well be bigger than any businesses owner or ceo will take, especially if the worker does a dangerous job.
You don't keep that surplus for youself, it's for the company profit and company profits have 3 very important functions in economy (we can talk about them also).
About the risks. If the company fails you get bankrupt, but the worker is not, they got paid as was negotiated all the way.
You as an employer need to also do work to find a suitable worker, a work that doesn't pay unless you find a worker that is willing to work for you and will succeed at the job. If the job is dangerous, you would need to pay higher wage and do more work to find a worker with suitable skills and willingness to work for you.
The worker can always start a business and work for themselves, but there's definitely many reasons why many workers decided to work for someome else.
You have interesting way to look at this, I almost thought the same before I started studying austrian economic theory.
Do you believe that every company should be non-profit?
Yes, that's why i said that this is a very good approach, and healthy approach as much as it takes, i add now. Still your company though, not the workers company, aka your benefit.
About the risks, a worker can even lose his life due to the job. Is there a bigger risk? Risk, in general, is not an excuse for stealing the workers by keeping the surplus. I am telling this, because this is why risk is involved in such conversations, it was invented as an excuse during the cold war as an effort to justify the theft.
No, it is not possible in many cases and for many reasons, for a worker to start it's own business, but yes , on the other hand there are many cases that workers can make their own business or cooperate with others, but they don't do it usually for the exact same reasons you already mentioned. So, it depends on the case, you can be well right with your criticism on this, i certainly can agree too, but not a general rule. Far from that.
But it is not stealing we agree with the conditions.
You arrange the $100 job, I agree to work and get paid $95, you get $5 profits. But one needs to understand that this $5 is not free to you, you worked for it, you had to negotiate with the customer and with the about the job and pay.
Often those negotiation are hard and sometimes the worker do bad job and it's your job as an employer to fix all.
Well the surplus value theorum PROVES that it is stealing. So...
That theory is clearly wrong. Stealing would be if we agreed $95 pay and you pay only $90. Then you would steal $5.
Another example:
If you sell me 10 apples for the prize of $10. Then I notice that another store sells 10 apples for $8. Does it mean that you've now stolen $2 from me? 🤔
Agreement between the tiger and the deer about the tiger's meal, is pure cheating.
Anyway look... About this particular subject, for obvious reasons, there was a huge effort during the cold war, to find an excuse to justify the stealing. Because it was recognised as stealing to the capitalist world also and as i said and as it is famously well known, this theorem comes with a proof. So, relatively close to the cold war, they ended up with the excuse we have already discussed. The risk of the business owner. That is the best they could come up with and as we saw, this excuse is more than weak. That is what they also teached, otherwise no academic career... Recently, a few years ago, i heard something about trying to justify the stealing through the theory of marginal utility, if you are aware. Of course this failed too and never heard that again since then. The only thing that can really dispute the surplus value theorem is technology, as i have already said, because it might change the situation, depending on the case, making the human work less important.
Anyway, i don't say that you don't know economics, you are probably better than me on many things, why not, but this is not your thing.
I guess the next subject i would like to discuss with you, if you are in the mood, would come also as a surprise.
By the way, i am not a marxist or something like this...
i do not think it is stealing or cheating.
But If we say, yes its stealing and so we wont do it, then i wont start the business in the first place. There is no incentive to do so.
If an agreement was between two deer, would that be ok? Is this really about difference in power?
Yes as i said, even if you don't want to steal, the system works this way. Guys all the top economists of the west, tried to debunk the theorem for decades for a reason. There is literally a ton of books and other critics on the subject. All of them failed so far. Half of the planet tried in the past to switch to socialism because of this. Have a look...
ok. I wasn't arguing on this point, just asking a follow up. I also want to understand the thinking that leads to this. Because it doesn't make sense to me.
I see. The best is to look the theorem itself and the proof that accompanies it. In a nutshell, there is a surplus value created by the production procedure, and that whole surplus value ends up only in the pocket of the business owner. I hope that i am not confusing you, i am not really good on explaining things.
Agreement between the tiger and the deer is purely natural. Tiger can eat deer but eventually worms will eat the tiger. So what's the agreement between tiger and worms?
Anybody can try to prove anything they wanted, but one can always use their own brains.
We've $100 job. You do the easier part (negotiations and arrangements) and I do the harder part. So you get $5 and I get $95. I see no stealing in that arrangement, we both agreed with it.
In my opinion, stealing is something that happens when somebody takes something someone else have earned, without their consent. I think printing money is stealing because it reduces the purchasing power of our wealth without our consent.
How do you define stealing?
Ah, so it's the word stealing that confuses you. Ok, we could maybe say it blackmail or injust. Let's say injust. Please read the theorem and the proof and make your own definition and share it with us, i think that would be the best. I am curious if you'll see something different.

I'm Mexican/American, born in Dallas and raised in Cuernavaca. I'm bilingual. Dual nationality. I went to to a top 10 leadership military school. I was in a coma for a week and a half from a skateboard accident a week before graduating high-school. I lost my sense of smell and taste from that accident and regained taste a month after, and smell 4 years later when a horse kicked the back of my head. I played polo for 16 years before I became a bartender. Now I enjoy cycling and golf as my hobbies.
I've been social media sober since 2020 until this time last year when I joined nostr. It was one of the best decisions I've made, 🫡🫂🍻
“regained taste a month after” 😮💨 had me in the first half ngl
I felt less alive gor those 4 years. Smell triggers a lot of memories. I didn't get those triggers anymore. It was depressing.
Glad it found its way back to you. Some buddies lost it with covid and it still hasn’t returned.
Tell you what, I was able to do so many dirty jobs. Even pulled a dead possum out from under my uncles house; never smelled a thing.
This is why you’re such a winner; you find the platinum lining in the lead box.
I would feel like a shell if I couldn’t smell pizza, roses, beeswax, or my husband after being in the apiary all day.
I bet when you got kicked in the head by the horse (!) It *rebooted* your olfactory. Check this video out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p04A4yocEPU
A family member sent this to me a few years back when I lost taste and smell from the rona. Doing the flick trick in this video I recovered both senses in short order.
Much less dramatic than your experience but I immediately thought of this when reading your intro here and imagine that the same underlying physiological *correction* occurred when you got kicked.
OMG I’ll bet you know Chip Campbell, Bobby Radcliff, or Herndon Radcliff. You sure have packed a lot of living into your young life. Damn glad to know you & nostr:npub1unm5skfa9x4drpq43pu2g00w6pzwvfhsa23z4j6aee7vghaygmkqwjtxhc ♡
I played polo with all those guys. My grandad started point clear polo with them.
HF!!! I was a Phi little sister at Auburn, and Bobby was a Phi. He had to leave school at one point because his mother died tragically. His father died tragically on the polo field. Jon played soccer with Chip at Bayside. Just saw Chip & Kim at a party at Christmas. So many people we have in common.
I played a lot with Herndon, super nice guy. I broke Hutch Radclifs color bone. Tripped his horse with a hook. Bobby chewed my ass out. He's a dick.
I also shot myself with a .22lr pistol through my left knee at the age of 11.
The proceeding year my family would be displaced due to the Mexican police breaking into my home beating up the maids in search for my father. He escaped through a hole in a wall of bugambilias that I used to visit my next door neighbor Fernanda (whom I had a crush on) with his berretta 92fs. He would remain on the run until 3 years ago when he died homeless outside of a McDonalds in Dallas; in the town I had been born.

I'd been planning to do this for a while, but after my third layoff in three years, it became obvious to me that this was the time to jump ship. Going to Nostrville, my first Nostr conference in November in Nashville and meeting some of my favorite plebs IRL who I'd gotten to know over the past year (and some even longer) solidified it for me.
I'd been coming to nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h for several months, and in December I got in touch with the founders and was invited to come on board to head up marketing for the media side of the company. It's been almost two months since I started, and I'm more inspired to come to work every day than I've been in my entire life.
I owe an insane amount of gratitude to my friends and fellow plebs who encouraged me to make this move and cheered me on from the start. You all know who you are, so no need to start a new hellthread!
🫂💜🤙
Class of ‘22 been living with the Bear looking forward to the Bull. Just a humble sat stacker livin’ the bitcoin vida loca.
Imo the runs really make you miss the lows and appreciate them more next cycle.
Hello,
My name is Malique. I’m from the DC area. Work in cybersecurity.
Got into Bitcoin after reading the white paper in 2023. Bitcoin changed my philosophy of how tech could free people.
I am a family man, Steak lover, and love smoking cigars.
Nice, welcome MAC 🫂🧡
I’m burns. I like nostr & bitcoin and other things you may have seen me write about here. I used to be in shape but this 100 pushups a day til $100k has shown me I’m now out of shape. As for the rest, nice try Fed.
Thanks for the 🔄 nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7
Good news is, I’m in slightly better shape now. These 100 pushups still aren’t easy but I’m getting through them more quickly.
Let’s fucking goooooo!
I started the challenge a bit late (last week) so I’m sore af rn plus back into the gym idk why tf I ever left 😭 never leaving again
Hi, I'm cynic, I post my stream of consciousness thoughts on nostr because I can. I am not always right or tactful. I believe in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is more than just number go up. It will literally disarm a lot of evil in the world. We are going to witness justice. Just need to be patient, and humble. 🤙

hi fren i went for hike yesterday. im dackdel. i like coin. i like meme. i love my fren and family. ok bai. 
I am the kind of person who finds receiving gifts stressful.
Call me a narcissist.
To me, gift giving is a moment where a person's impression of me is laid bare. A gift says so much; who the giver thinks I am, and what values they believe I hold. Receiving a gift is a moment of glaring clarity, a moment that displays the distance between who I am, and how I am perceived.
As may logically follow, I have always found introductions difficult as well. How does one introduce themselves, summarize a lifetime's journey, and possibly attempt to present a concise picture of who they are, absent context.
Perhaps this is why I present as a dog on the internet. A simplified and caricaturized persona that attempts to disarm, while offering a touch of the friendly non-toxic communication style I choose to use.
I am now 3 paragraphs into this introduction and have seemingly failed to do much beyond make my therapist upset that I never open up this much during our sessions...
So who am I?
I am a Bitcoiner. I am a recovered nihilist who has seen the light and leapt into it. I am the kind of mild autist who has his brain broken reading "How to Take Smart Notes", and must spend the next several months completely reassessing his relationship with the information he encounters in the world. I am a person who is unsatisfied if I end a day and do not feel like I have improved as a member of the Human race, an obsessively curious individual who cannot leave stones unturned.
Happy to meet you!
I'm Joe, deeply fascinated by the expansive realms of artificial intelligence, the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin, and the philosophical inquiries at their intersection with evolution. My journey isn't rooted in formal education but driven by an insatiable curiosity and decades of self-directed learning, with my hands engaged in work and my mind absorbed in audiobooks and podcasts.
My passion lies in exploring the science of the brain, the philosophy of the mind, and the evolutionary forces that shape our existence, alongside the transformative technologies of Bitcoin and AI. Bitcoin, to me, is far more than a digital currency; it's a groundbreaking technology that challenges our traditional notions of value, autonomy, and ownership, promising a future where digital and physical realities converge.
I see AI as a mirror to human cognition, a tool that not only extends our creative and intellectual capabilities but also pushes us to ponder the deeper questions of consciousness and intelligence. This exploration is not just academic; it's a personal quest to understand the essence of thought, creation, and existence.
At the heart of my interests is the belief that Bitcoin and AI are not just technological advancements but philosophical milestones that compel us to rethink our place in the universe. Through Bitcoin, we glimpse a future where economics, technology, and philosophy merge, offering a new paradigm for understanding value and trust. AI, in its quest to mimic human intelligence, serves as a fascinating lens through which we can explore the mysteries of the mind and consciousness.
My aim is to delve into these complex themes, seeking to understand how they interweave and what they reveal about our future. I'm drawn to the idea that by examining the intersections of evolution, AI, and Bitcoin, we might uncover insights that have the power to reshape our worldviews and propel humanity forward.
This journey is personal, driven by a quest for knowledge and a desire to share the profound connections I see among these domains. It's an exploration of how technology reflects and influences our understanding of existence, and a continuous search for meaning at the nexus of human thought, digital innovation, and the evolutionary processes that govern life itself.
Hey frens! I'm Prayer, a solitary traveler in cyberspace. Sometimes serious sometimes sarcastic. Walk with me on this journey called life even just for a few steps, we will find common ground. Or show me boobies and we're cool!
Hey friends. I'm a sat stacking freak who loves high quality local beef, privacy, and nostr! Outdoor and sunlight maximalism is the way.
Howdy, I'm Spencer I do a podcast called Bowl After Bowl every Tuesday night with my wife nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa where we talk about weed legalization news, lightning node operation, bowling and value for value content delivery. We've got 4 kids 3 dogs a flock of chickens. Hobbies include smoking barbecue, 3D printing, anything bitcoin/lightning, photography, not wearing clothing, bowling, trolling and flying drones!
I’m Luka, I am a global citizen and developer focused on data and privacy.
I am fascinated by the nuances of human nature and ultimately how they are reflected in the actions of the global economy.
Bitcoin is the future, the superior form of money and information.
Open to all conversations, let’s chat!
Name's Pines, I'm an artist and a full time culinary student in 2 weeks. I love reading, writing and playing the violin (I struggle with tuning), I go outside for a tea or coffee every Friday. Often very forgetful, so I write things down.
Bitcoiner since January 2024
Welcome Gerry. #nostr is one of the best use cases for #bitcoin this far. You will see why so many here focus solely on btc and not defi. It’s the greatest combo of money and social combined to ever exist.
Golbez here. Using a nym. Came here through Bitcoin and stay for no algorithms
shoveling stuff in front of me. I like being my own moderator. I hate herd mentality, be you and have your own opinions
Outside of Bitcoin stuff I’m into music (huge metal head), outdoors stuff, shooting, video games and other computer stuff like Linux.
#intoductions
I’m what you call a geriatric millennial, grew up in the 80s & 90s. Now I have grown up responsibilities
Open minded, here to talk about whatever is going on, thoughts and opinions, hobbies and experts and of course fun shitposting.
GenX, gamer Dad although I seldom game nowadays, P&C insurance agent in Louisiana, open minded, new to NOSTR and loving it, into photography of nature, possess a large genra of music taste (metal is my go to) as much as I do food, placed upon this earth to learn teach and move on, never got mechanics until a dear friend passed and a light bulb went off, often a candle burning at both ends, often in a fire and I smile with "everything is fine", into spiritual things but not religious, the hell with establishment anything. I digress as I'm out of breath. 😆
What’s up all? I’m pretty new to Nostr but have been in Bitcoin since late 2017. I work as a security engineer for a fintech startup. I’m a father and family man, just trying to figure out how to make a better future world for my family.
I’m very invested in my current job, but I’m hoping to eventually work for a Bitcoin company. I am a pretty technical person, and looking to study Bitcoin and lightning more so I can contribute to open source and maybe make it my job at some point. So if anyone has any resources, would love to take a look!
Otherwise, I like to grill/bbq, drink a little whiskey or beer, sometimes I’ll game, and I watch a lot of podcasts.
I love technology and independent thinking. I want to know why before what and I’m trying to reduce suffering in others.
Anything else is noise.
This is one of my favorite threads of all time. I found a lot of plebs to follow here.
Always worth a repost (and thank you nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 for the original note)
Hey Nostr fam! I’m Jared aka Cheetah Cowboy! I’ve recently launched my Organic Yerba Mate company here in Costa Rica using the IP rights from my Bored Ape! Our company is called Mono Mate and we hope to launch in the states this summer! Hope you’ll follow my journey and give us a try!
My name is Sandy, I like sats. Yours. I am quite opinionated and not liked by many. Maybe we can be friends. 🙂
Hey guys I’m Nina, I like to freestyle and eat sushi. I also like talking about post apocalyptic shit. 🫡
Hi Sleepy !
I post art and mountains 🏔️
Hi I’m Scott. I draw, paint, make music, t-shirts, and sew cool, practical stuff. I collect Hot Wheels and watches. I probably have more tattoos than you.
Hi I'm Ted.
I am a homesteader, dog rescue volunteer, guitar maker and Bitcoin pleb who also enjoys restoring motorcycles.
Wake up, Ser! Learning as much as I can about Bitcoin, stacking sats the BCA way, learning to be humble.
Hey, I’m Adrian! Massage therapy is my trade and I narrate audiobooks in my spare time. My lady partner of 12 years also narrates audiobooks and we oftentimes tag team projects together to increase production values ie. multiple narrators, music, and (sometimes) sound fx. We’d love to create “Flash Fictions” where we write up a quick script and produce it into video using AI tools while we narrate and add sound fx to really heighten the storytelling!
I love movies, games, TRPGs, books, but what ties these all together is a love for storytelling. The stories we engage with teach us more than anything else. I’ve been bothered by the lack of integrity with our fiat art. nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak's chapter in the bitcoin standard about how art is affected by money was so poignant and deeply resonating. I hope to fuel my art through bitcoin and walk us in the other direction away from the needless condescending, cynical, and political attitude our art has fallen into.
That was longer than expected! Thank you for reading.
Hello!
I go by many names. I’ve trolled many of you. I will troll many more.
If you believe in communism I will troll you even harder because you’re a moron and your views have killed hundreds of millions of people.
Capitalism baby! LFG🔥
Sup!? I am an enthusiasm enthusiast. I have learned that it’s not a black pill if it is factual!
#introductions
Hello, my name is Luis, I live in Brazil and I have a common fiat job. My dream is to be able to help in the adoption of bitcoin by educating people and one day be able to have bitcoin as my only job.
I've been in Nostr for 6 months and I'm loving it. currently Nostr is the only social network I use. No ads and no bullshit!
Long time Nostr user under another npub, I'm a civil servant who will bespeaking at the adopting bitcoin conference in El Salvador this year.
I've never taken any public-facing roles before, but seeing what I see I felt I couldn't be silent any longer.
I plan on speaking about the erosion of state sovereignty and what you can do today to help make your government more open and transparent.
Followed!🫡
Annonymal is the first #heavymetal band that sings about #Bitcoin history, philosophy and goals.
Annonymal was born on October 31st, 2022.
We'll have our second anniversary soon.
Our initial plan was to record and release the first Bitcoin-only heavy metal album in human history this year, 2024.
Unfortunately, that might not happen.
We have been able to stack sats over these two years and we are going to start recording our album this month and it will be ready to launch by next October 31st.
However, we are considering postponing the release to October 2025 because we currently lack the budget to promote the album properly.
The songs we released up to this day were just pre-productions to show you the musical direction we are heading in. The album will bring more mature content.
So, here's the deal: if we can raise enough sats to release the album this year and promote it as best as possible, we will do it.
But if we don't get the funds we need, we will keep the album unpublished and wait one more year to release it, hopefully with the budget to promote it properly.
Because of this, we will release this note periodically on NOSTR to try to engage you guys in helping us make it happen.
You can donate using LN (annonymal@getalby.com) or the on-chain address (bc1qq06tpkugwle76wwj50u5gcvr0mv5ettmeflryg).
Our goal is to raise close to 6.000 USD (six thousand USD), to work on a realistic but good budget for our needs.
Every sat counts and is much appreciated.
We understand that not everyone likes the idea of a Heavy Metal Bitcoin band, but this isn't about those who don't get it.
Our mission is about orange-pilling others and having fun during the process, at least from our point of view.
We are also open to discussing partnerships and having a patron on our team. So, if you want to talk about it, just slide into our DMs.
Let's rock the world by spreading the word!
Thanks for being an awesome community!
