Loving the energy here over the last few weeks, with almost daily updates and improvements in the background, and a fun engaging community in the foreground. Also loving the asymmetry that allows plebs like me to converse meaningfully without being suppressed by the feudal algorithm (know they place, peasant pleb).
Then I remembered feeling this excitement briefly years back with Steemit.
Not sure if that's even still a thing, but there was early micropayment tipping for posts. The workflow had too much friction and I think the communities didn't bring anything like the energy of this bitcoin/lightning/libertarian/foss/value4value intersect. So I'm much more hopeful for nostr.
Good sovereign individual approach.
I tolerate government because I share the planet with others who wouldn't tolerate me.
It's not ideal but for now it's the lesser of two evils. Meanwhile I practice being expensive to tyranny and ungovernable by petty rules and policies.
Bitcoin has a reforming effect on the soul. True anarchy may yet be possible on a Bitcoin standard.
Until then.

I wrestle daily with fear of rejection.✋
I overcome that fear and move forward with my dreams, ambitions, and goals.
But, it's there, and I have to budget emotionally for that struggle, and the bandwidth needed to press through.
Turning off that daily inefficiency would totally optimize my 'life-flow'.
For me, asking for zaps here is more than just a bit of fun, or brazen begging. It's a microbattle in which I choose to face the fear, and also live with the shame of an expired unfulfilled request etched permanently on my note-line.

Great closing line from #[2] after solving the invoicing glitch above.
Thanks fellow nostriches for bouncing this on, and helping me get it sorted.
Zaps on the way ⚡
Hey cool plebs on nostr
How are you getting those awesome zapping animated profile profile pics?
Not a request for services, yet... but will zap the most helpful recommendations.
Thanks 🤙
Who runs eden.nostr.land?
I paid the invoice to join relay, all good on my side, but their paywall timed out saying 'invoice expired'.
What now?
🙏
I take it all back.

Value for value should be a core value round here.
Besides, with zaps, invoicing is yesterday's news.
If it's good, it will be zapped.

No algorithm is more addictive and engaging than silicon valley grade weaponized algorithm.
Who'd have thought it?
Nite nite nostriches.
May you wake to unexpected zaps.
💜⚡💜⚡💜
They can duck and dive all they like, the zaps will get em in the end ⚡
It's beautiful.
