I Believe selling your Nostr account is impractical and morally wrong, it voids all meaning and trust to people.

I have received an offer to potentially purchase my old Uno NPUB, which I turned down without a second thought.

This is nothing against the person who offered, they are cool, a good friend, and don’t think it would be used maliciously, however I am not here for publicity or personal financial gains, and I believe that it is wrong to do ethically as well.

People follow you because they find value in what you share, this kind of lets people who support you down as well and causes confusion.

When I first joined Nostr as many know, I ran my LightX account for a while, coming from X/Twitter and following a lot of the people there, I did come here for attention, I admit that, it’s true, I wanted clout on the internet.

I ran giveaways and stuff of sats to try and get attention, it worked but not in a good way, many of the methods were viewed by many as shady, and they were right.

I got called out for it a lot and I rage quit, people told me back then I should have sold that account too for profit.

I have come a very long way since joining and my views and morals have changed, I have come to love Nostr as a place where we can express ourselves and have a good time, rather than a means to personal gains.

Which is why I have tried to put everything I can into this community now, as I feel I was a burden to it then.

Many of you know this story already, but many probably don’t.

I want to be completely honest and open about it.

I switched to this NPUB as a fresh start, not from my community but in hopes of starting a new path as well and continuing as I have this past year.

Thank you all, I love this community, I am not going anywhere and I will FIGHT to protect it always.
