I’m sure they’re very nice people - I’ve got nothing against them.
That said, I can’t help but cringe every time I hear people refer to Natalie and Sam as:
‘Bitcoin Royalty’
Love your authenticity, Isabella. Keep up the great work!

Growing Nostr is hard. Not because we don't have the tools, but because it requires the hard work of many of us, not just the few. Decentralization is great, however this means that no centralized growth team is going to step in and do the work that's needed. We'll have to rely on a multitude of people to accomplish this. These people will be cultivating and nurturing Nostr's growing ecosystem. They're seeking out unique communities, on-boarding new users, and educating them on the tools at hand, so that new users can create their own spaces on Nostr.
These have been initiatives of mine since the beginning days here. I love building communities, helping people use technology, and speaking about my passions.
Many people across Nostr are working on similar initiatives, trying to #grownostr and foster community. nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is one of them. We spoke at extent last week about her current project. She volunteered at the Nostr Booth that I organized at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r a few months ago, got purple pilled in the process, and is now planning on doing similar initiatives at three Latin American conferences coming up soon.
I had a conversation with the organizer of LaBitConf in Prague, who expressed a strong interest in having a Nostr presence at his upcoming conference. He asked that I replicate the same level of involvement he witnessed in Prague, including a booth, speakers, panels, and more. He clearly recognized the significance of Nostr and was eager to feature it prominently at his event. Unfortunately, I had to decline, as it’s not feasible for me to attend every conference. However, this is where the strength of the Nostr community comes in—others can step up and make it happen.
This is what Tanja is doing! Check out her project.
Well said 🙌🏽
I can't see how giving WBD to another bitcoiner would have worked. They had to retain control of / rebrand the WBD RSS feed - otherwise, they would have had to start over with their listener base.
I don't understand why anyone would refer to themselves as 'Mr. Obnoxious'.
Why would you denigrate yourself, and your (very successful) brand?!
If I were a normie, I would be FAR LESS inclined to listen to a podcast entitled, 'Mr. Obnoxious'... because... to state the obvious... why would I want to listen to someone who's branding themself as obnoxious?!
Peter's recent interview with Silkie Carlo was fantastic. But, as I share it with normies... I feel a sense of shame that I'm sharing a podcast entitled 'Mr Obnoxious'.
I buy into the idea of broadening the focus of the show (and still having Bitcoin as the heartbeat), but WTF was he thinking?! It's really beyond freaking belief!
Anyone else thinking the same?
Thank you for sharing this, Lynn. We don’t know each other, but it’s obvious to me that you are both beautiful people, and it’s so nice see you both happy. 🧡
Same here, Keysa! 🧡
Love this new format to your posts. Simple and to the point and very impactful.
Heard of nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev's Give-A-Shit matrix? I love it, so I thought I'd share my summary of it here for those unfamiliar.
And here's a link to his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-LnfDKa7QU
Bravo, Guy! 👏
