I used to have friends, a fair number of them. But when I was surrounded by some financial legal shit, they all scattered to the wind. Even after I emerged in the right, they were silent. My tribe is now tiny and I wish I could find people I could trust again.

Welcome home 🏡
Hope everything will be alright from now on
it for sure made me stronger. Made me grow my business, which helped me build my bitcoin treasury. It set up the rest of my life ... and got rid of a huge group of negative influences ... I look back with a smile (genuinely)
Be happy, now you know they were not friends. Not for a minute.
I always philosophate on the fact, that we all are scared of bad situations. But actually, we all shall be happy to these situations revealing the real people around us.
It is hard though!
"I'm really sorry to hear that. True friends show themselves especially in difficult times – it’s tough to go through such experiences. But sometimes life leads us to new people who truly appreciate us and whom we can rely on. I wish you find such a trustworthy circle again soon."
Awesome
Probably one of the most important things to happen to you. Only one thing is more scarce to us than bitcoin, and that is time. I imagine much time have been invested in yourself, that without this experience would be wasted on someone or something that wouldn’t deserve it. ⚡️🧡
You may find em here. Highly recommend IRL Nostr events if you haven’t already. For me it was like hanging out with long lost cousins.
It’s really tough and disheartening when people disappear during hard times. But trust me, real and trustworthy people do exist, and you will find them. A smaller tribe often means higher quality, and the right people are always worth it.
Your experience literally describes what I'm going through right now. Corrupt landlords trying to for me out of my lease after 18 years in business! Long story and I've been representing myself in court for over a year now - that's an eye opener in itself🤣
But the huge positive that comes from these trying times, is that the people who remain standing alongside you are the truest of friends... the rest were just holding you back.
The smaller the tribe the better. Gather close with those you are closest with and forget about the rest.
Focus on a crowd that does things. Nobody wants to be a babysitter for a man. Just hang out and do stuff, make stuff, go places. Don't just sit around, drink, and hookup with chicks. That's fiat friendships: short lived, high maintenance and its value decomposes.
Trust has two meanings. The older you get, you understand there is nobody you can trust with everything. Even your best friends should be trusted with limited things.
All we really need is just a couple real ones. Take care of those that take care of you. Stay blessed.
