Subnostr

It’s strange. Every other subject that I read about like psychology, philosophy, biology, politics, etc, I would always give up reading at some point.

But with bitcoin, I can never stop.

I got goosebumps the first time I learned about fractional reserve banking.

I couldn’t believe how corrupt the system is.

I’m 1 for 8 on WoS zap attempts today and the only one that was successful was a 1k sat zap. It didn’t give me the choice either.

Long press the zap button and it will work. Here I’ll zap you.

When I try to zap this message with WOS it’s 1,000 and when I go to your profile to zap you it’s 1 sat. Strange.

peter 2y ago

If you long press the zap button it works!

Then you have to long press the zap button for more options!

peter 2y ago

Oh it worked! Thanks

Are you using Damus?

peter 2y ago

Yes

Guys there is something wrong with WoS. It only gives me the option to send 1000 sats.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

1 week into being full time on nostr and I am this 👌🏻 close to closing my twitter account forever 🤣

Friend:” Hey man. Haven’t talked to you in a while. What have you been up to lately?”

Me:”You know. The usual.”

The usual:

2 more friends just ordered The Bitcoin Standard.

At this pace, I might orange pill my whole crew before the 2024 halving 🤣🤣

peter 2y ago

All I want is $16k bitcoin.

Damn I miss those days.

peter 2y ago

If bitcoin stays at $20-25k for the next year, I’m gonna stack a shit ton of bitcoin til the halving lol

Shitcoin experience cheaper than college education, if nothing else 🤣

peter 2y ago

Yeah true😂

100% agree. Wish I didn’t dilute my share of BTC in 18/19 with my attention on anything else either

But I talk to so many that went Bitcoin>Shitcoin>Bitcoin only

Almost as if the shitcoin experience fueled a deeper understanding of money should, and shouldn’t be. And that helps unveil the beauty of Bitcoin

peter 2y ago

Yes I think the experience did fuel a deeper study of bitcoin. You’re right! 🤙🏻

Ill bet many bitcoin only folks walked similar paths, it’s a process and shitcoin temptation is part of the learning process

I’m not in favor of Shitcoin casinos by any means, but there is a coordinated attack underway to choke out the on/ off ramps to retail which ultimately help breed Bitcoiners

In a perfect world, Bitcoin only platforms or P2P would be the only avenues we need to financial sovereignty, but I do think we limit reach and adoption as bitcoin ( by design) is inherently more boring at first glance and many realize early on they likely won’t wake up a billionaire holding it overnight. High time preference incentives are exciting and all, til you get rugged. But is it, dare I say, functional to understanding the fundamentals of bitcoin?

This is something I struggle with as all shitcoins inevitably trend to zero vs Bitcoin

peter 2y ago

Great explanation! To be honest, I would have preferred if I had studied bitcoin without shitcoining because I wouldn’t have lost a lot of money and I would’ve ended up owning more bitcoin!

But this path led to bitcoin and I studied it day and night and I’m happy I discovered its potential. That’s why I spread the word to my friends so they don’t gamble on shitcoins like I did. 😆
