New on Nostr.

New on Nostr. Trying to understand how it works...

I had spent years at the beginning of my Art pattern feeling like I was not good enough and I did not believe in my work.

For me the biggest psychological obstacle was the fear of judgement. I now understand that the reason of such feelings is because I did not put enough passion in my work.

Today many Artists create just for the sake of money, avoiding developing that strong emotional connection with what they do.

Passion is that intense energy in which one dedicates their heart, mind, body, and soul to their Art.

It gives you a continuous desire for learning and, along with commitment, motivation, and joy in your art, it brings you forward.

However, it is crucial to remain humble and open to learning. To genuinely strive towards becoming an Artist, one must possess two essential qualities:

- First, a certain level of audacity and confidence is necessary to believe in your ability and take the plunge.

- At the same time, it is vital to possess the wisdom to acknowledge your limits: while being a self-taught is valuable, recognizing the importance of formal study will significantly enhance your progress.

I am convinced that if you strongly believe in what you do and you recognize the worth of your creations, you can achieve your dreams way way faster than anybody else.

nostr needs to stop shoving bitcoin down everyones throats and just make it another subtle and useful tool in the nostr toolbox. People should feel comfortable coming to a nostr conference without being a bitcoin maxi. nostr:note1u3w3dwy57p88ecgrkgr0ujacag0jnmctltunxw0p96heu2veh8jqh9m3vw

They are going to print so much fucking money.

On Bitcoin Magazine’s YouTube channel, Saylor’s keynote has more views than Trump’s.

387k vs 267k

I don’t really have a point, other than it’s mildly surprising. I think more people probably saw the Trump speech because the live-watching numbers were huge, but it seems that the interest in people later watching the Trump speech isn’t too high.

It’s true. The biggest impediment to understanding bitcoin is not intelligence. It’s ego.

You have to re-assess something you previously dismissed. You have to buy in late compared to what you could have done earlier, and accept that. You have to embrace the fact that you are but a tiny node on a network that nobody controls.

Just had a very simple exchange with my plumber about #Bitcoin that seemed to resonate with him…

He asked what made it valuable and why would it go up in price.

I said, if you could know that the set of rules for the economy were perfectly fair, where everyone had to put in value to get it out and nobody could cheat, would that be worth something to you?

Him: hell yeah.

Me: well we clearly don’t have that when someone can print trillions of dollars and just consume a horrific amount of capital without doing anything at all, right? Causing the price of everything to double, just like the PVC price we were just talking about.

So imagine you could just know, that whatever someone else did to get those bitcoin, you could *know* beyond any doubt, that they didn’t cheat the money. That they couldn’t print them out of thin air. They had to work within the rules. Would that be valuable?

Him: Yeah. So there’s a certain amount or something?

Me: Yes, 21 million forever. There will never be any more.

Him: So if inflation keeps happening Bitcoin will go up?

Me: Well it’s far more perfectly scarce than PVC pipe and housing and what has happened to the price of those things?

We got distracted with a leak issue after that, but he seemed to really follow this line of thinking.

Which way, modern man?

Who is nutzapping me so much?!

Looks good!

I agree with Jimmy’s take here.

As the altcoin industry cycles through all possible unsuccessful narratives and every form of VC enrichment, the later stage is just memecoins. nostr:note1a9juap39h239v0s78mvnzfeyz40kmpkna4l73xhv752marealffqu46tt2
