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.

I should have listened to you guys much, much earlier ✊🏽

Welcome and 💯 agree. I tried to zap you, but it says your address is invalid.

Markets are not rational because they are made up of human beings. This is why we HODL real #bitcoin and not paper anything.

This really resonates with me. I can’t help but wonder if a lot of people in #bitcoin ended up here because the traditional system failed them, leading them to seek truth through their own learning and self-discovery.

I wasn’t a great student. For whatever reason, the school system just didn’t work for me. My bad grades started to define how I saw myself, and it wasn’t pretty. But at some point, something clicked—I realized my value isn’t tied to grades or how I perform in school. It’s tied to what I can learn, do, and achieve on my own. That realization completely shifted my mindset.

I started diving into books about investing, business, and sales in my free time. I worked on honing my skills, and the more I learned, the more confident I became. Realizing that I was capable—regardless of what the school system told me—was life-changing. It gave me a sense of self-confidence and responsibility I’d never had before.

As strange as it sounds, I’m actually grateful for the tough times I had in school. Feeling like a failure and struggling with self-doubt forced me to find my own way. And in doing so, I came out stronger, more confident, and fully responsible for my path.

Is this journey similar to other #bitcoiners ?

On a side note, I often think about how schools teach just enough about time, numbers, and money to prepare you for having your time devalued by money. But they never teach you how to create value, solve problems, or produce something meaningful. Schools have the opportunity to guide young, curious minds toward solving real-world problems. Instead, they waste that potential by focusing on repetitive problems that are easy to grade. It’s a shame to see such brilliant minds go untapped, especially when they’re eager to make a difference.

This was my experience as well. The way intelligence and ability is measured in western schools leaves a lot of talent on the table.

The reports say they have been seen releasing something into the air. 😂 nostr:note1l327cgd6h0vykwtdusce654cn56ha93wvku63n26w7sxrwrjd4yswel273

People kept comparing the killer to Batman before he was caught. I don’t like the comparison, but I get the symbolism for a vigilante taking the law into their own hands. He gets caught and comes from a very wealthy family. This gave him the time and resources to develop learn and develop his beliefs and to craft the tools to execute his plan. Life imitating art or a predictable pattern of human behavior playing out over and over again?

“Mangione was found with ghost gun, silencer, four fake IDs and other items “consistent” with what police were searching for”

The article says he tried to use a fake ID at McDonald’s leading to an employee recognizing his eyebrows. Is there a reason to use an ID at McDonald’s other than to apply for a job?

Hello from 2008. Thanks for catching up. 🤣

I’m guessing most people on Nostr are immune, but watch out for those shitcoins kids. Word on the street is that mETH looks like easy money. Stay humble and stack sats.

Crashing to $15K 😂 Covid crash was only three years ago. Beginning March 12 at $7,960, BTC/USD finished at $4,830, going on to bottom at $3,860 the following day. This is my crazy I was there story and there are many who will tell you about crashes to $100, $10, etc. The cool part though is that while many people sell and never come back, there are a few people who stay each cycle and it just keeps building. 🫡 nostr:note1gyr99ja8030nfkw2h4hmkhpyq286h5cd7ltgfv96dhaysl0u79wq8j0khj
