So I brought up nostr to my cousins today…
They all looked at me like I was nuts after they looked it up…
Discussion
Did they see the Bitcoin circlejerk?
The hey wouldn’t even get past reading a website just explaining what it is…
To be honest.......that is nonsense to most people. Nobody wants to read how to use a website lol
Same thing happened when I brought up bitcoin 13 years ago for the first time…
I heard it was really hard to buy back then.....Even now is kinda annoying
You just mined it back then with cpu/gpu there was almost no need to buy it but you could…
I wish I got to experience that. My friend has mined two Bitcoins back then and lost his password!
I ended up spinning up a llc and mined for a few years when asics first came out n we closed shop just before the s9 came out.
We mined all sorts of different coins backs then and had all sorts of different miners for em lol it was a good time:
Mined back in 11', back when block rewards were 50 BTC
Somewhere in cyberspace exists an inaccessible, life changing fortune.
Feelsgoodman.fml
Man it’s crazy
Sometimes I think to my self about how many epochs it’s been now…
50 btc blocks were a long time ago now…
I’m kind tracking my life in terms of epochs…
If I’m lucky I got 10 left…
Kinda weird to think like this but…
To me it makes the most sense for me at this point…
Not weird at all to me, I totally resonate with this mode of comparison.
As nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc would say: bitcoin is time
As far as I’m concerned there is only the time chain & it’s block height
This sounds about right. People can barely set down this idea of the “metaverse” for long enough for them to understand the idea of owning what they post..
I can’t wait for Facebook to become MySpace and basically become obsolete
Yup yup
Brought it up to a nephew earlier in the year.
He thought I was trying to trick him into mining crypto with his laptop. I was literally showing him zap.stream.....
Um that’s a weird assumption lol
I was in the middle of explaining v4v and he started asking if it was going to slow his computer down and that he doesn't want it to overheat.
I've orange/purple pilled zero people.
It’s only a live stream??? I have yet to use nostr on a computer/laptop…lmfao….
I have orange pilled like 5 people at most irl… maybe one I will purple pill…
