You should connect a lightning address to receive zaps.
Nothing is more magical than a stranger from across the world instantaneously sending you a small amount of the best money the world has ever known.
Very true, without the users their is no network.
I simply believe that these protocols are an idea who's time has come. While it is imperative for us to advocate and spread awareness, I believe that aligned incentives will eventually drive the right individuals to contribute.
However, you are correct. We must build the world that we wish to live in and those with a similar vision will join us along the way.
Like #Bitcoin, #Nostr does not need you.
All this talk about adoption and user retention is pointless.
Nostr is not a platform the was launched by a company that needs to grow its user base and cashflows to stay afloat.
It is a permissionless, open source protocol. which means that it is simply an idea which has now made its way into public consciousness. If all of the current Nostr clients failed, (Damus, primal, snort ect.) the protocol would remain unchanged and ready to be deployed by anyone who sees value in its use.
Today Nostr may be a small niche corner of the internet. But, as more and more people globally come to see the value in censorship resistant and self-sovereign communications, they will find their way to the Nostr protocol.
Bitcoin and Nostr are both things that are useless until you realize that they are an absolute necessity.
We all know Kevin is going to be the one doing the purging.
that boy had malicious intent with those burglars lol
There is absolutely a "trans agenda". The "Trans day of visibility" being announced on easter Sunday is definitely no coincidence.
However, like you said, the more divided we are the easier we are to control. They can announce whatever lunatic laws or holidays that they please but, I am going to live my life in the manner that I choose and until someone decides to interfere with that than I have no problems.
Happy Easter to everyone, whether you follow religion or not, the symbolism of Jesus willingly dying as a sacrifice for a undeserving world is extremely powerful.
Remember to bear your cross and to embody christ whatever that means to you!
What do you think comes first?
A.) 10 billion people
B.) 21 million Bitcoins?
My close friend secured his first 1 million sats today!
He purchased a Blockstream jade and I will be walking him through how to withdraw from Cashapp Tomorrow.
First one of my friends to capitulate after listening to me rant for the past 4 years lol.
Hopefully I can get him on #nostr next
I feel like this is reflective of current market sentenment, people are dipping their toes into #Bitcoin.

GM, we are winning.
"then they realize that they actually don't own anything"
Absolute bar, will be extremely relevant in the coming decade.
GM, let the speculative attack continue.
I LOVE #NOSTR

AND WE GET TO BUILD IT!
Things are moving very quickly...

“Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to god”
-Thomas Jefferson
At some point in your life you will be faced with the decision to comply and cower to tyranny or to fight back and rise to the challenge.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE READY
Recently accepted an internship for a company which runs a medium sized REIT with about $300Mil in apartment buildings. Their goal is to issue a real estate backed cryptocurrency, they are currently building on Ethereum 🤮. I think this could be an interesting product if built on bitcoin or something like liquid but THERE IS NO SECOND BEST.
Hopefully I can convert them from their shitcoin ways. 🫡
It will be astonishing to see the level we have been mislead by artificial fiat price signals once everything is denominated in #BTC.
