Been watching the anthropological experiment that is Nostr unfold since 2022-23. It’s been fascinating to observe the great sorting mechanism at work.

Scrolled through my follow list today, a bit of digital archaeology. Thousands of followers, zero notes in over a year. The pattern is unmistakable: they’ve returned to the algorithmic plantation, trading sovereignty for synthetic validation.

What remains on Nostr are the philosophical descendants of the cypherpunks. Those who understand that protocols > platforms, sovereignty > followers, signal > noise.

We’re not here for the dopamine drip of algorithmic amplification. We’re here because we believe ideas should compete on merit, not on how well they serve the attention merchants.

Every abandoned profile is a quiet confession: “I never really believed in the thing I claimed to support.”

The irony? By filtering out those who prioritize growth over principle, Nostr becomes exactly what it was meant to be, a signal rich environment for those who value truth over virality.

The medium is the message. Your choice of medium reveals your message

Hello dear Nostr people

I had been thinking about joining Nostr for a while, inspired by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyp78vh2q05af6h4pzl9chp5ev2zkq7rlczz2p3m2l2jyn0aazgwcgs0270c and nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c (thanks Jor and HODL!). It took me a few weeks to research Nostr, and another few weeks to create a profile and download the Primal app to my phone.

Now, after a month on Nostr, I can say I use it more than my X profile. The general atmosphere here is SO much more positive and constructive compared to the insanity on other social media platforms. My sense is that Nostr attracts many grounded free thinkers and people with a positive outlook on the world (well, maybe positive about the world slowly being built with Bitcoin… patience my friends!).

My mission is to spread some beauty and invite contemplative reflections through my nature photography hobby. The positive responses and nice comments I have received have motivated me to pursue it even deeper.

TL;DR - I know, I know. Just want to say thank you to you all - you are my kind of people, and I think I have found my digital tribe here on Nostr.

I have made it a habit to think about something more carefully every Sunday. The topics are of very different natures, and I never choose one - they always fly to me. Today I am thinking about why I like and use nostr.

Why are you on nostr?

Well I guess I am getting prepped up for surgery. The surgeon said he's pretty sure it's the appendix. We waited monitoring me to rule it out overnight in case it was the burst ovarian cyst but he thinks that's the culprint considering my blood work today showed infection fighting markers. He wants to remove it. He also said he wants to remove it even if he gets in and finds out it's not the appendix since the CT scan showed there are a couple appendicoliths. But he has also told me that if I feel strongly about not removing it if he finds out that's not where the issue comes from he respects my wish and won't remove it.

I feel like if we have an organ it's there for a reason. I still have all my wisdom teeth in. But I really don't know. Since later it sounds this could be a lot more complicated surgery.

I wonder what you and some of our trusted docs on here think about this? #asknostr

I couldn't tag Dr. Paul Saladino and Jack Kruse.

Nice! How long does he plan to go? I feel like 5 days is a great length. But it’s the longest I’ve done.

If unsure about a decision, when do you end the search for wisdom and guidance, and just make the decision?

I wonder if sometimes we can only find what’s right for us by making decisions and learning from our mistakes.

Food is the medicine ⚕️

Drugs are poison ☠️

So is Olas still being developed or no? Just wondering. I have some good content in it.

99% of 700+ digital asset managers = certified trash. These overpaid clowns watch Bitcoin demolish their “sophisticated” models every quarter while bleeding out at scale.

The microscopic fraction who actually beat Bitcoin proves the rule….everyone else should have stacked sats and let number-go-up technology work. Bitcoin separates signal from noise, and most “professionals” are just expensive noise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nostr is different.

When you’re surrounded by people who share your values and vision, you sharpen each other. That’s what I’ve found on Nostr.

The conversations are richer, thoughtful, forward looking, and centered on building instead of mindless consumption.

This is what the future looks like when free people pick up their tools and refuse to be slaves.

Gm! Been training a lot lately. Here’s a photo of me playing army like a nerd.

oof

nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqghwaehxw309anhymm4wpejuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qpq5879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sn9ng7t has a saying that the purpose of the system is what it does. I always argue with that in my head, but it's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your post.

The purpose of the current medical system is what it does: creates obedient, miserable humans who go to the doctor to solve issues caused by the last doctor's visit.

A few years back I threw my back and I could barely walk. I rested in bed. My friends kept pushing me to go to the doctor to get drugs to numb the pain. I was 100% against that. I don't remember the last time I took a pill. Narcotics would've numbed down the pain, but the root cause would still be there. I would've been able to get out of bed, move, etc, while at the same time making things worse. Plus all the side effects as you mention.

Nowadays, I'd go to my chiropractor.
