Good for you! Nice job Karma!
I found the answer to my question. Running a Monero Node is similar to installing Bitcoin Core. Could be a nice side project.

Ok, I’m curious now. What is your Monero setup like? Can you host your own Node with wallet similar to BTC?
This little healthy correction is perfect. Time to buy the dip!
Amazing pictures, glad you had fun!
Hello #Nostr Fam!
This series of events with a Bitcoin all time high at the corner brings me back so memories of how I evolved in this space. Here is my story:
It all started in Spring 2021, already 3 years ago. While driving back from work, I was following a city bus with an advertisement for BTC ATM. I’ve heard co-workers talking about it, I’ve had high school friends blasting Facebook about it, I was now curious. I had to know more.
I fell in the rabbit hole of Crypto, blockchain and wallets. Unfortunately I did not know any better than Google so I googled which crypto had the best predictions. I ended up with a bag of BTC, LTC, ETH and ADA. I also started to mine ETC. After the 2021 bull run while I was buying the top, things didn’t go to well after.
Then came 2022. Once I went further down into the rabbit hole, I was exploring side chain with high yield in the hope of recovering from my “buy the top” loss. I explored BSC, Cronos, Callisto Network and a bunch more. My Yield farming degenerates activity taught me what was impermanent loss at a cost and NFT Flipping taught me what was a rug pull. Celsius was also a humiliating experience.
I was convinced that I wanted to work in that field so took a course in Blockchain Architecture and Solidity programming and discovered how meaningless and easy is to spin your own private blockchain. By the end of 2022, I hit bottom and converted everything in BTC, ready to throw the towel.
Early 2023, I joined #Nostr and I fell in the BTC rabbit hole. Learnt how to use Linux, built my own BTC node and my own Lightning Node bare metal. Fell a bit into the conspiracy theory and “fuck bank” movement. It was as intoxicating as my crypto degen phase. You can as easily loose sight of yourself in the Bitcoin verse.
Early 2024, I did a step back. Now I can clearly see that I am not a Shitcoiner but I love the technological side of it. I am not a Bitcoiner but believe in the store of value. I am not an anti-government or capitalism but believe in privacy. I found a passion in mining/data center and self hosting.
I have found my equilibrium and I am not ashamed to create a note about it on #Nostr
Thank you if you took the time to read and please take the time to write and share your own journey!
Oh yeah, the same ones that are for decentralization but uses WOS and Umbrel?
I understood half your message. They good them shroomies? 😂

up since 3:30 am, rocking my #satoshi #nirvana shirt, getting stuff done 💻

ps: nostr:npub1ytx8ffefzymnsen8eu99g9rwnc4emfpdyjjk2hrlqkqs8sfr8feq5vek79 wakes me up like this. it's the cutest thing ever.

GM!
I hate cats (allergic to them) but it’s always nice to be awaken that way
GM sir 🫡
I think we’ve passed the “Stay Humble” phase…..
GM!
What holiday is it?
I need to #asknostr
Where can I see the minimum channel size to be open with different nodes?
GM!
I don’t want to be a dick and I as I been saying this forever that the pictures I generate are open source and free to use for everyone but whoever is behind the Trading Cards and Spirit of Satoshi that reached out to me to send you the pictures that I have generated back in the days at least give the credit !🤷♂️

That’s pretty shitty
I like this profile pic!
That looks really good. Enjoy guys!
Ok, my feed is mostly rendering of Bulls and Bitcoin.
Anybody has anything else to say today?
