Damus / Nostr merch is something I could wear as opposed to wearing a big target in my chest stating “I HAVE BITCOIN”.
True Story: I wore my nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 merch to church about a month ago and someone saw me wearing the shirt and said, “Damus?” We immediately hugged. 🫂 I’m a part of a small-ish local church and didn’t expected that to happen anytime soon. I felt so known.
Tonight was our first time hanging out irl. Wow, it was rich. Just wanted to say thanks to nostr:npub10qk5zpmhv7rspp87shajf7d24yrf4lyr7w0m25wv9w78grs4k0sq0gq8pc & nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev - Y’all are awesome and the merch you’re putting out is doing far more than you know. 🫂😊💜

I agree. One definitely speaks more freely about bitcoin once they have a multi-sig with keys spread across the map.
A while ago I was driving and saw a 4Runner who’s back window was covered in bitcoin stickers. I was worried for them. I still am worried and occasionally think about that moment and if they’ve been targeted.
