You can lead a horse to water, can't make it drink. Show a person some bitcoin can't make them think. Bitcoin devotee, not just on Sundays!

I rarely lose my temper, but whenever I do a couple times per year, my writing gets 10x as much reach and likes and shares, and gets basically immortalized. But I'm rarely happy about it when it does.

I still think about this a lot in terms of how I choose to use social media- with reach comes responsibility.

It's both a bad thing and a good thing. On one hand, it's not great that posts based on a combination of emotion and reason get *way* better reach than ones based on more pure reason alone. For "clicks" the best thing I could do for a given post is lose my temper and go all-out on something.

On the other hand, the rare cases where I lose my temper are based on serious built-up frustrations over months. I'm frustrated about something, keep holding it back, and then something becomes intolerable. My socially-compliant self-censorship all unravels at once, not perfectly, but with a clear aspect of *deep* honesty. And people see that honesty because it reflects their own. So it spreads.

So, most of the time, I write carefully, and I know my audience comes from multiple different backgrounds, literally from Indonesian farmers to Wall Street institutional billionaires, and I try to politely move the Overton window from within the Overton window. But a couple times per year, I lose my temper and post my emotional thoughts, which in some ways are more honest, but are also not exactly my ideal self-actualized self.

I end up being grateful for both my constant attempt at control and my rare tempers, because somewhere in the middle is my truth. That blend between controlled reason and built-up emotion is really hard to manage in an era of digital media and semi-immortalized content.

Anyway, I'll post this random stuff on Nostr, not Twitter. You guys and girls get the real thoughts because you're here.

Hearing this makes me slightly glad. I thought you were too perfect and had some secret zen approach to endure all the shenanigans going on in the world today.

Rumi springs to mind ....

Did you know that nostr:npub12hsm2yzx3psrqs5usqw4hj7atnlhksrxllwjw7lyj50gwxh6wctsv9ua2n has never zapped despite being on Nostr for several months? Tune in to find out if she sends her first zap today! nostr:note1qc7lansyvehr3325wyxh5e524e6m4re22a2w9x39maezrfz3mr6ss8e0kl

Has now!! Just zapped

Yo Joe. How's it hanging man? It may be true about engagement but ask what price it all comes at? I see nostr and bircojn like peas and carrots. As a bitcoin influencer and an engaging dude, maybe you can help with that part of making it more enjoyable here?? Not sure to be honest

Be the change you want to see.

See you in Amsterdamage again this year bro.

Search on nostr.band for keywords. Or just find a good bitcoiner and 'follow all' using amethyst app

Black coffee? Or can you do milk? Eat what you want after or slowly ease in? Never done one before.
