The Mandibles is a dystopian novel by Lionel Shriver set in the near future, it doesn't mention bitcoin, but it's all about bitcoin if you know what I mean.
Started reading The Mandilbles because nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgqgzx3h won't stop talking about it. 🤣 As an artist, this part resonated:
“Visual art stopped being about making anything a long time ago. It's all about talking. The talking is what you make.”
“Doesn't visual art have to be something to see?”
I definitely felt this when I went through art school. I wanted to learn to draw like Michelangelo, they wanted me blindfolded and using my opposite hand.

I had a lot of trouble setting up my wallet too. Alby was ok but difficult. I use Primal and their support was helpful in getting my wallet working properly.
GM! I’m an artist excited to be learning more about nostr!

Thanks for flagging my wallet issue, I've been working with primal support for weeks to get it fixed, which I think it is. I can send zaps at least. Would you mind zapping me to see if I can receive? I enjoy your notes!
