That is awesome tysm. Happy I was able to send some โšกlove over to him for creating such a banger ๐Ÿ’œ

I would love to see Slack integrate with Nostr. There are people I work with that are superheros and deserved to be zapped for going above and beyond.

Martin lost me as a reader when he chose to sell his IP to HBO instead of completing the series for his readers. For what it's worth though, the first season is a near perfect port of the first book, it's very very good.

Appreciate the recommendations! ๐Ÿค™

I didn't know his kid was a writer as well.

For fiction I used to be super into high fantasy - LotR, Wheel of Time, and many others. Dresden Files was not something I had ever been interested in - urban fantasy always felt low-brow, but I loved it and am glad I gave it, and that genre a chance.

I definitely read more nonfiction these days. The real world is so full of fascinating topics I know little or nothing about, it seems endless.

That's been on my radar for a little by time, I may need to read that next.

My entrance into Bitcoin was a couple of months past the forks so I missed the entire thing.

Have a fantastic day doing what you do best - making your corner of the universe a little better.

It's about a botonist-turned-private- investigator in a walled Victorian city that's forgotten its past. He's drawn into the hunt for a brutal murderer, and the search leads him to discover a long hidden truth.

GN everyone.

Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of your day. It brightens nostr so much.

Great question.

I didn't want to be anything. I just wanted to get by. I was too consumed by the struggle to see further out than maybe a month or two into the future.

Since finding Bitcoin, I've rediscovered myself. I aspire to be a novelist again. A dream that was abandoned years ago.

Being given a longer time horizon was akin to being reborn.

Does better cyberpunk music exist than the Deus Ex soundtrack by Michael McCann?

The Singapore Ambience track is my go-to when I need to dial in and focus.

I'd argue it's harder to get crypto people to understand because they see maxis and just assume it's just basic tribalism that you see everywhere with digital tokens.

I stopped trying when I had to sit a friend down and explain how market caps work, and randomcoinxyz with a 20 million mc is not going to ever go from .003 to $1 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Every time I think I've followed all the plebs from dead bird, I find another handful when I peruse someone's follow list.

It's just not worth wasting your breath on making the attempt unless they are ready.

I've tried dozens of times to OP people over the years and the only success I've had is when I took the time to gently guide them along over many conversations to lead them to ask the right questions.

When I'm asked about it I just say that it's the hardest money in existence and the best performing asset ever, why wouldn't I own some? Any more than that and they just tune out.

Ask in such a way that it leaves room for the listener to respond and allows for the conversation to evolve.

Instead of:

'are you having a good day?'

(binary, just asking the listener for affirmation or denial)

Ask:

'what kind of a day are you having?'

(Open ended, let's the answer be nuanced and leads to further conversation)
