I’ve used Nostr for a little while now, and while it sometimes feels like I’m talking to myself, I’ve come to see that as a feature, not a flaw. It encourages deeper reflection without the engagement traps of other platforms. I recently had my X account locked simply for sending two long DMs answering some big Bitcoin questions—that experience made me value this space even more.

Sure, it doesn’t yet match X for current events or diverse perspectives, but every cathedral starts with its foundations. Nostr has that solid base, and I’m happy to keep contributing to its growth. I’m still learning the intricacies, but I’ve decided to focus more of my energy here—sharing ideas, writing, and building something that lasts.

Thanks for articulating this so well. It really resonated.
