How do you feel dumb?
It's all an echo chamber. Noise copying noise, with very little signal
Discussion
What signal are you looking for?
To me the use case of lightning and slowly building my way to better self custody and comfortability with Bitcoin has been a great signal.
Receiving and sending satoshis has been a good signal. Joining a niche group of tinkeres and watching it grow over several months has been a nice signal for me.
It may still be an echo chamber, but i've enjoyed it. But I'm curious what stronger signal would be for you? Not trying to be a dickheed.
Signal as in learning things I didn't already know.
It's like I just watch others learn and info spread and I'm like okay, I want some fresh water.
Like oh wow here 10 people talking about tweeter, like grow up.
Lightning has use cases already. I already live on bitcoin.
Ive never used tweeter. And as much as I already know that gets propagated around here, it seems even hammer home self custody over and over doesn't get through.
So if I can beat that drum and have fun on my social platform so be it. Perhaps you could make sats by offering help to people who need it in whatever capacity you can.
But bro it's so fucking simple. And all the educational information is already out there. Like holy shit. I got my first computer 3 years ago(I lived in a situation without exposure to much advanced tech) and bitcoin was there nearly from the start.
Idk how people don't cold storage.
There's a block chain, hold the keys and you hold access to your treasure chest in a box car on a train. Boom.
Yeah. I get it's simple to those who understand it. But I'm not here to be a dick to everyone learning, while also stumbling in from 20 years of social media retardation.
You're barking to the wrong guy, as I also cannot change this current manifestation of Nostr. I'm just here to take the edge off.
Maybe patience is required.
otherwise be the change I guess.
Aggressive Maxis are welcome here 🫂🫡
I'm going to meme about it. My point is you shouldn't feel dumb. Losers try to stir the waters to make them seem deep. With focus you'll realize it's nbd.
I'm not barking, I answered your questions.
I'm also not trying to be confrontational. I know what you mean. I guess my point is if I'm not willing to call myself an idiot who am I to sling shit.
I don't know everything.
But I'm also not skilled enough, nor do I have the time to make this rabbit hole me ENTIRE life. It's my money. I've secured it as I can. I continue to better that but the damn boats man.
But I'm not an "influenzer". I'm just here for yucks.
As I continue searching for more hot takes on Bitcoin in podcasts and articles and forums.
And play with lighting. 🫂🤷
We are still too early for this shit 😂🫡
I'm like bruh.... people are STILL like oh yeah bitcoin is a ponzi. And I'm just like bro you are truly mentally broken.
I get the "it's gambling get rich quick" attitude a lot. Or I'm a capitalist pig. It is an uphill battle. Chinsies up friend. There are only, verifiably, 21 million of these suckers.
I'm okay with my decimals.
Don't worry. The energy infrastructure is next 😂
Yes!
I'm like okay so go verify it!
I heard about eth first and I was learning solidity to write smart contracts but then I'm like wtf is eth? What's going on here? Then bitcoin, I heard 99 bitcoins say it's money without banks or government and I was in.
We are dealing with a fundamental shift in how people view money, property, communication, and individual rights. I only hope more people are aware of the importance of those things, rather than clout or token scams.
I'm happy that currently, most here have that same focus. Even if distraction remains. The transition takes time for some, especially when all their following is on a certain platform.
I came here with nothing. I expect nothing. I'm riding this wave as it has what currently satiates a strange itch I've had.
I want some gnarly, mind tingling knowledge.
I can't help most people, they have to help themselves. I can't clean a lake by swimming in it.
