Hope i dont go broke doing this 🤣 😑Let's see how far #Nostra going!

Another day at my job. The sun is shining, and that is lifting my mood… at least a little bit 💛

but still, it’s hard for me to get up every day and do a job I really don’t like. I feel stuck, for way too long now. There are days I wake up and could cry, there are days I just fight myself through, and there are days that are okay, but overall, it makes me feel bad. It feels like I am not the person I really am, I can’t express myself the way I want to. I am far away from home. Distracted with things I don’t like. This job is not fulfilling me, and it’s hard for me to not let that affect my private life. I am coming home from work and feeling exhausted, I have a hard time to motivate myself for going outside, caring for my garden, cooking, showering, meeting my fam and friends. All these beautiful things feel annoying. At least yoga is fun atm and releases some tension.

I am at a point where I underestimate my skills. Thats making it difficult to just moving on. I blame myself a lot, for not moving on. Everyday. And still, I am trying my best so the stuff I am working with… works… even with my bad attitude. Something I can be proud of… ugh it’s destroying me. Finding a new job is harder than I thought. The job education I accomplished is nothing I like to do all day, it does not fulfill me. I don’t feel like starting another 3 year job education. I feel unskilled for every job application I am interested in, I am at the beginning of my twenties. My dream is it to work on my own… but it’s much work to actually do it. And that’s where my mind is when I think of the next years. I am missing a lot of energy. I feel weak, like never before. Writing this is giving me energy.

Days like these show me that I have to take action. I am the only person that can guide myself. I am responsible for me. All these negative feelings are pushing me out of my comfort zone, urging me to move. But it is still difficult for me to move on… I don’t know… I am facing one of life's challenges... it’s getting better.

Waking up in the morning and actually wanting to wake up, no more days where I want to bury myself between pillows in my bed. The great amount of love and joy that I feel for life wants to be unconditionally shared. All of that will come back to me. And I am getting closer to that every day. I believe in myself. Push those walls, break through. Visions are highly set.

Any advice is welcome 💜 Thank you for your time. And yeah I know I could be grateful for having a… job…, but… I am fighting here for a really really long time and I don’t know how long I can keep up a positive attitude anymore… honestly I can’t. I don’t like the upset me. I am tired of blaming myself for not just moving on and try something new.

I can’t keep that in my mind anymore so I wanted to share it with the world. Maybe someone is fighting the same fight, you’re not alone and you will break yourself out of these chains, just like me… very soon… building strength. 💜

Hello everyone. When introducing #Bitcoin to my Russian peers, there’s a recurring skepticism: it's seen as an "American scheme." While many here might not have faced this challenge, here's how I tackle it:

Have you ever pondered if #Bitcoin could be an offspring of the NSA? Was it secretly forged as the fragility of fiat currencies globally became evident? Or did the U.S. simply catch the #Bitcoin wave early?

The next question often thrown my way is, "Should we really entrust our assets to this possibly suspect American venture that could be covertly fueling undisclosed operations?" To this, I answer: The true origin of #Bitcoin, be it American, Chinese, Russian, or Japanese, is essentially inconsequential. Due to its decentralized essence, it now operates beyond any single nation's grasp. Halting its momentum would require subduing every advocate—an undertaking too ambitious even for the U.S.

Of course, I elaborate on its core principles: decentralization, immutability, and its inherent resistance to censorship. However, apprehensions surrounding its "American" birthright persist. To address this, I narrate an intriguing tale:

Ever heard about Hal Finney's enigmatic neighbor, possibly a certain Satoshi Nakamoto, with speculated NSA connections? Russians, with their innate skepticism of official accounts, find this tidbit irresistible.

Let’s delve deeper: For a century, the U.S., with its unparalleled control over the money press, capitalized on this edge. They've printed vast sums, virtually out of thin air. This monetary dominance allowed them to acquire the best talent, technology, intellectual property, and strategic advantages from across the globe. However, they're acutely aware of the dollar's diminishing stature. They seem to be actively diluting its power, printing it in excessive quantities. This move seems strategic — exhausting its utility to the fullest, buying everything in sight, until it hyperinflates.

And in this strategic shift, lies #Bitcoin’s ascension. If we consider the possibility of Satoshi's million-#BTC wallet, it could feasibly offset the U.S. national debt.

Think about this: Beyond a select faction within the American elite, who else could witness an asset like #BTC soar from nothing to $69,420 without spending a portion? Most would've exited much earlier.

On the regulatory front, there's a notable bias: favoring #Bitcoin and seemingly sidelining crypto. Consider the broader crypto landscape as a case in point: many, like LUNA, are scams, with its founder now under legal scrutiny. Then there's CZ, the figure behind what's considered an underground crypto gambling hub. It's apparent that the elites aren't keen on welcoming these upstarts.

To clarify, when I reference "Americans," I'm pinpointing the shadowy power-brokers, not everyday citizens or the figureheads in office. They're the true orchestrators.

Sharing this narrative has yielded profound results, spurring #Bitcoin investments amounting to billions.

But you still didn't explain why people should use the name of the protocol instead of the platform.

When Facebook and Google were using XMPP in their chat rooms, the general public had no idea. Just like now nobody cares that Twitch chat is IRC. I at least gave an example of why ZBD is a great idea for ZBD itself.

You're getting a little ahead of yourself by making Nostr look like an established project, which it is not. It's just a collection of poorly written specs on GitHub on how to make JSON. It takes time to prove that this is serious and not just a writing of stoned bitcoiners.

Maybe in the future you won't use relay at all, and just pull notes from the cacheserver. Will that still be a nostr client? 🤔🤣

💖 i am VP of brand at ZBD but also a big nostr head separately

I understand what you’re saying around educating users about nostr. I say this a lot, but because the ZBD userbase is not mostly folks who wanna make some sats on their phone and connect with friends, it’s already a lot to introduce a social w/ money infused into it. Explaining what nostr is - very complicated for the avg user. However we are cooking up some fun ways to explain the nostrverse to folks - but we want to o it correctly and in a fun, engaging way. Things like this take time to materialize.

Hope that clears things up. I’m not doing anything on purpose to confuse anyone. I wrote an article explaining nostr to noobs. I’m doing my best like everyone else is 💖

The license doesn't matter. If you don't want the name to be used in a negative way, you protect it with a trademark. Protocol names are rarely registered because no one uses them to name a service. In ZBD example, zebedee is the tm. Naturally they promote their name. Tomorrow nostr could collapse and no one will remember this word. There will be some Apache NGstr. ZBD have already been saved from such a situation in advance.

For the record i have nothing to do with this debate.

Feel free to ask me questions though. I’m a person :) flawed, but capable of demystifying anything for folks 🧙‍♀️

All right. Here's an argument for why businesses won't use the word Nostr. Nosrt is someone else's trademark, and businesses should only promote their own.

Yes, we have an exception again, Linux, but how many other exceptions can you think of?

There is literally no audience here. Some YouTube channels or subreddits are more popular than entire Nostr. That's why you can't talk about the ultimacy of nostr hashtag.

If any big business made Hopslols app tomorrow, ALL would think they were in Hopslols and no one would care what protocols the app uses are called.

Still many people use mIRC when talking about IRC. No one remembers the name of email protocols. No one cares what Signal protocol is called. There are exceptions too. For example Matrix. But it's because of a popular movie. If a protocol was called Matrxter, people would try to forget the name.

Well Welcome to http or Welcome to WebSocket doesn't say either.

In the world of #Bitcoin books, "Bitcoin Standard" is the top choice when translated to #Russian. It's the most important book on this topic for Russian readers.
