My First 3 Thoughts About Using Nostr.

1. The feed here feels clean, less like a firehose of nonsense, and more like an experience. Social media fatigue has been my biggest hurdle to trying something new. Between 𝕏, Facebook, and Instagram, keeping up has been exhausting as a solopreneur. But this? It’s like revisiting “Old ways, new days.” Honestly, it’s pretty damn cool to see a space that feels this refreshing. I’m getting the late1990s AOL WaReZ room feels.

2. Let’s face it…the way social media monetizes engagement is a dumpster fire, as it rewards spammy behavior, divisive posts, and clickbait nonsense. Here, the idea of people directly rewarding people feels…right. It aligns incentives in a way that makes sense; over time, I think this will be what sets Nostr apart.

3. The overall vibe here? Optimistic. It’s refreshing not to wade through the black-pilled doomers dominating 𝕏 these days. Over there, it feels like the loudest voices are just shouting their opinions into the void—and honestly, I’m over it. Here, the conversations feel constructive. People want to contribute something meaningful instead of just making noise.

🎄 "The Bitcoin Christmas: A Tale of Lost Satoshis" 🎅

It was Christmas Eve, and Julien, a die-hard Bitcoiner, was comfortably seated in his chair, staring at his computer. The Christmas tree sparkled, but something even more precious gleamed on his screen: his Bitcoin wallet.

Suddenly, an alert popped up: "Transaction confirmed: 0.01 BTC sent."

— What?! But… I didn’t send anything! Julien shouted, eyes wide open.

In a panic, he realized he might have clicked on a bad link. Then, he noticed the transaction memo:

"Thanks for the gift, signed: Santa Satoshi 🎁."

— Santa… what?!

He refreshed his screen frantically. Nothing changed; the sats were well and truly gone.

A few hours later, he received a strange message on Nostr:

"Ho Ho Ho Julien! I’ve received your sats for my reindeers. But don’t worry, every sat will come back… one day… maybe… on Lightning. Merry Bitcoin Christmas! 🎄⚡️"

Julien burst out laughing despite himself. He grabbed his keyboard and posted on Nostr:

"Guys, even Santa Claus uses Bitcoin now! If you want to avoid him digging into your wallet, better send him a few sats willingly. Come on, be generous! 🎁⚡️"

And you? Are you going to let Santa Satoshi leave empty-handed? A few sats for some festive magic! 🎅⚡️
