There you are.. One of them.. πŸ˜ƒ Tnx.. I'll read this ASAP..

It was a meme that started in Bitcoin Twitter in I want to say late 2020?

#laserrayuntil100k or something like that. I forget who started it but it spread like wildfire until you started seeing shitcoiners and normies with laser eyes on their profile pics lol

Oh dear.. I knew it must have been related somehow lol..

Thank you..

What are shit coiners & normies..?

Ah, my apologies. I shouldn't assume that everyone in nostr is a bitcoiners πŸ˜…

A 'shitcoin' is a colloquial term within Bitcoin circles for people who own, trade, or shill digital tokens that are not Bitcoin.

Normies is just slang for people who haven't woken up to [insert truth here], but in this context it means those who have not yet adopted Bitcoin as a long term savings vehicle.

I hope that helps πŸ’œ

Oh pls don't apologise..

Actually I was about to ask am I allowed to be at #nostr as someone not even close to bitcoin.. Lol..

Nice explanation.. Thank you for your time.. I hope I'll figure out things in time..

It's all so new to me..

That's the great thing about nostr - it's for everyone! There's just an outsized number of bitcoiners here because there is a lot of overlap between Bitcoin and freedom tech like nostr.

That's what I was thinking while writing you previous answer.

Shitcoiner: a person dealing in a currency besides bitcoin.

Normie: a normal person, usually one who doesn't know what a shitcoiner us.

Everything except bitcoin is a shitcoin

So a shitcoiner is someone that fucks with shitcoins

Normies are the people that haven’t adopted bitcoin yet.

I have to find my place in this unknown world.. πŸ˜ƒ

It’s very exciting and most folks on here are very friendly

So far that's true..

And, I talk more than I usually do.. πŸ˜…

Shitcoiners are welcome to imitate us and become supporters of bitcoin 😁

OMG how much I don't know.. 🀣🀣

Where do I fit.. Haha..

I'd say that if you are on nostr already you are a 'precoiner' or one who isn't personally or financially invested yet into Bitcoin, but has the right mindset to understand it's value proposition.

If you are looking for good resources on learning more, most people on here will be more than happy to help and answer questions.

I'd recommend 21millionTV on YouTube for a series of great (and short) videos as an introduction.

This podcast episode from 2020 is a peerless conversation that also serves as a great introduction, although it is pretty long.

I may not become a bitcoiner... But yes.. I want to understand it.. It has been a big part of our life for long so it's stupid not to get to know it at least.. I see that it fulfills your interests..and somehow I feel that you all got some space on #nostr to make it grow.. While you do that I'll keep on learning new things.. πŸ˜‰

Bless you for all the help..

It's all about learning and growing. Please reach out to #asknostr or #plebchain and there will always be folks that are happy to answer questions.

Been struggling here for days as I couldn't set my profile.. One guy told me last night to use both of the hashtags.. And it works!!!!! Yayyy.. πŸ˜ƒ

Its a bitcoin thing and i can tell you most and this isnt a joke have got that gifted to them.

Very chill people most of them welcome 😁

Oh you are all in lights.. Thank you so much.. First day when I came it all looked like lighting here.. 🀣🀣

I trust you.. πŸ€¨πŸ˜‚

bitcoin and lightning is appreciated by a lot of folks here.

But a person is so much more than just that part.

I dont know about trusting me but hope you wont let it scare you away from meeting some amazing people

I hope I didn't hit the wrong button with my question..

I was just honest and curious.. I didn't want to hurt anybody..

No it won't.. 😊 I just have to get used..

It's really a whole new world to me..

No buttons were hurt during production of this post actually made me follow you

Stay honest and curious πŸ‘ŒπŸ«‚
