It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

I am definitely not the same person I was when this year started.

Bring on 2025 in 15 hours 🥂🎉💜🫂

My new year's resolution is to simplify, not expand.

Are we going to be known as the Bitcoin generation?

What a sad empty life.

All that money. All that power. All alone.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR ☀️

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY

doing a little survey

what’s your favorite genre of music?

answers get zapped ⚡️

🚨🚨 Zap Challenge Alert 🚨🚨

I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…

Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:

First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.

In the last 24 hours I sent:

-199 zaps

- 60,000 sats

- Average of 301 sats per zap

- Second most sats zapped on the day

What happened:

- Gained 87 new followers

- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65)

- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)

After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷

I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…

I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…

That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.

My next test:

Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.

Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…

We’ll see how it goes 🫡

step right up place your bets

The blockchain is around 670 GB right now. If you're just going to run a node and nothing else, get 1 tb and save your pennies. Bitcoin maths says by the time you need more space, it'll cost you a lot less sats

bruh… this is how you ruin your morning🙃

For those who don’t know… when you lose a fin(there are supposed to be 3), it makes the other fins in the set pointless because you are unable to maneuver the board and now I have to go out and get another set😢 On the positive, I have extras just in case🙏🏼

GM! It’s crazy how many people I know that in 2019 were relatively happy and normal but after a few years of lockdowns, social and physical isolation, poor diet, no exercise, no sunlight, thinking their new dog/cat is their child, and 2+ hours a day on TikTok have turned into crazy cat ladies/bros. It’s genuinely 25%+ of the entire USA, and that doesn’t count people who were crazy before COVID.

It’s getting to the point where some old family and friends are basically insufferable.
