Don’t be afraid to stand out and be different.

I have personal photos, but I honestly don’t feel comfortable posting them on here because you have no control over who gets to view them. There are some people that I would feel okay with seeing my photos on nostr, but not the entire nostr universe. I really value my privacy.

Congrats on being sober!

It can take a while for your mood, sleep, and energy to normalize. It’s part of the reason why maintaining sobriety is difficult, but there are plenty of resources to help.

Hang in there, you can do it!

What’s the root cause?

I’ll be your accountability partner, lol. Currently, working on getting back into shape for summer.

Not everybody works in a field where their skills are highly valued or have flexibility in terms of work schedule, and it’s not always possible to break into those fields for a variety of reasons.

Do these have to be self-portraits of ourselves or can they be of other people?

Embrace your creativity and let your imagination run wild. The world needs your unique perspective.

Articles like this make me wonder whether bitcoin evangelists truly want the entire world to adopt bitcoin. There is just so much gatekeeping by bitcoiners that further perpetuates the idea that bitcoin is impractical and complicated. What average consumer who has no choice but to use their currency to provide their basic needs would read this article and view bitcoin as viable option for their current, daily financial needs?

Bitcoin will only be widely adopted once it’s as easy to spend as fiat money. Currently, for the average consumer, it is far easier to buy bitcoin than to spend it and that’s a major barrier to widespread adoption, and I’m not sure the ideas presented in the article provide solutions for this issue.

My understanding of the arguments presented in the article could be wrong, so please educate me.

Not to mention they don’t factor in the cost and the fact that US companies provide little to no vacation time for workers. Most jobs only offer 3-4 weeks of vacation time for the whole year. Plus, it might not be paid time off and/or you can’t rollover unused vacation days.

Followed!

I feel more comfortable with this metaphor.

I’m slowly making my way through your write-up. Here are just a few thoughts after reading the first chapter:

I liked how you began the project with a field study and took the time to directly observe people using the app in their daily activities. This approach also built trust because it gave you guys the opportunity to simultaneously educate people about bitcoin and address misconceptions.

The section providing context about Brazil’s economic landscape helped me better understand the rationale behind your study design.

I like the idea of a collaborative document for people to share their constructive feedback before final publication. Open peer-review should be the standard in research. This also ties in with the project’s emphasis on direct collaboration with users. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to participate in your creative process.

It will be interesting to compare your study to the research published on bitcoin adoption in El Salvador.

This is the papers that I found:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add2844

I plan to read them after making my way through your study.

However, the abstract suggests that Pix was more successful than Chivo Wallet. From news articles, my initial theory is that the El Salvadoran government overestimated the impact financial incentives would have on bitcoin adoption and neglected more grassroots efforts to build trust and educate its citizens. I could be wrong though.

Finally, sorry for your loss.

For #2, I find nostr.build the easiest to use for embedding pictures and other media in notes. nostr.build has both free and paid options.

For #1, I never updated my Damus app (because I never do updates, lol), so I still have the old version before all the drama with Apple.

Please explain what your trying to say. I having trouble understanding your poem or lyrics?

Flirting doesn’t mean that you’re not faithful or not loyal to your partner, although it may feel disrespectful to your partner. However, this is why couples need to discuss boundaries in their relationship. The girls flirting with you may be in open relationships, lol.

I’ll document dreams in my journal if they feel significant in some way. I’ve had eerie experiences where I’ve dreamed about things happening to people that didn’t make sense at the time but ended up occurring. It’s likely just coincidence, and my dreams are only a manifestation of my own subconscious thoughts and desires.
