Always enjoy seeing Bitcoin and lightning in action!
I used to be into real estate and the fire movement. I wanted to get enough rentals to have freedom to do what I enjoyed. I read Mr Money mustache a lot. Retire early! Whatโs not to love?
I had an open tab to his blog and saw this. Heโs ngmi.

I am sad to read this. My wife and I give credit to the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early) for its emphasis on reducing expenses and eliminating debt.
Without spending a dime to follow a guru we were able to "chunk" pay all our debt and eliminate twenty years of principal and interest payments in two years. It left us with an enviable amount of "disposable" income and because of our new innate, righteous hatred of the banking system led us straight into the arms of Bitcoin.
Mr. Mustache dismisses Bitcoin as having no intrinsic value, using his clipped fingernails as an equivalency. His distaste for Bitcoin is palpable. Bitcoin is anti-fragile and will face greater foes than Mr Mustache and his premise that we who believe in, buy, and hold Bitcoin are merely participating in a speculative game trying to someday sell off to a greater fool. I think sometimes influencers can be well intentioned but totally wrong.
I love hitting the follow all button in iris.io and snort.social
(both are desktop clients that I run on Android using the Kiwi Browser and the nos2x extension)
Welcome to your daughter. Pretty cool, just typed healthybag50 and WoS took over. They make it so easy.
Your invoice expired so I just long pressed your zap button and added 21 sats. Enjoy!๐

Hi, Dallas. Saw your npub over on Twitter and know it's a little weird getting started. Two quick suggestions: 1. Get Wallet of Satoshi app and use their free address in your bio (example picture), You'll be immediately able to be zapped (receive sats) so yes, absolutely ready for customers. And 2. Get comfortable quicker by following the nostr people that big influencers follow. For example, I'm here because BTC Sessions retweeted you, so maybe find and follow him. Then follow the people he follows! You can quickly get up to speed. And nostr is super friendly so be willing to ask questions if you need help. Welcome!
Good to know. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks!
Same problem here. Since I am using Android I've been using the Kiwi Browser with the nos2x extension without incident. Now, by entering my private key and activating the extension I can get the global feed but if I click the "following" button I get this with no further results.
Maybe catch up on bigger activity...
Thanks to #[0] for this link to "In Real Life" examples of Bitcoin being used. (In addition to these examples from around the world, my personal favorite use of Bitcoin is being able to send USD to Philippines PHP instantly, with no remittance fees!)

I just gave a listen to #[2] . The husband-wife duo cover current Bitcoin happenings in a lighthearted and entertaining way. I like!
Just listened to your most recent podcast. Yes, it may help my practical, skeptical wife. Your podcast is well planned, professionally produced, and has great chemistry between you and Mandana. You are both good natured and Mandana reminds me of Gracie Allen, who is quite willing to be confrontational in a loving and entertaining way. (BTW I think it's obvious you two are headed to El Salvador!๐)
Not sure. Used the โก on your post, sent some sats, see no difference. (used my Wallet of Satoshi)
And I agree, even yesterday while driving with my wife who is not a Bitcoiner (yet), I tried to passionately convince her that at my passing she not sell our saved Bitcoin. It would be truly awesome should our children's children be given the fruit of our sacrifice.
Wow, that's a great quote!
Mass BTC adoption in 60 years?! My visceral reaction was, "yikes, I'll be long gone!" But if you take a moment to read this article I bet you'll appreciate Mr. Svetsky's premise of three generations to adoption. It was fun to watch him experience Bitcoin through the eyes of our children born in 2009 and to know there's only five more years until the second generation of adoption begins. Give it a read!

#[1] says even tighter gallery if separate links by a SPACE, not a LINE. Here's what that looks like...
#[0] shared how if you create single photo links in nostrgram.co and then skip a line and make a new link you can create your own little (or long!) Gallery post.
Here's my example: (Costco shopping list) ๐
Great to know. So just generate line separated links. I'm going to go make a post right now!
Down, and dirty, and quick, nostrgram.co has a video button. I'm thinking you may be looking for something more sophisticated but for some it might get the job done.๐
I don't think so. If you go to nostr.wine they have a read me page that explains how they aggregate a bunch of public relays. I really enjoy using their relay.
Sometimes I am hesitant to try an audio link because I get frustrated with all the banter and wandering off-topic. But I was intrigued by the concept of Bitcoin as an energy wall. This is fairly short, but more importantly it goes directly into how Bitcoin enhances anything it's used with (like nostr) and the the defensive nature of its designed "energy wall" that will protect it as fiat controllers continue attempting to defeat it.
A great listen and very worthwhile.

My daughter started one of her songs with the line, "the milk is sour". The song has been heard around the world millions of times. Seeing and being different may not require punishment, maybe you're onto something!
A dab of peanut butter is delish. And, you may have to collateralize your Bitcoin, add an egg. Yumz.
