💯. I remember when the facebook like button took the world by storm and then in no time at all ‘likes’ were a legit thing everywhere. Zaps are so much better and have a more legit incentive structure as well so im optimistically hopeful.
Yeah 100% with ya there. Even today we are ahead of 99% of the world population just by having this conversation so its all relative. But crazy to think there’s friends of mine out there now who I have pushed so hard to learn and still don’t care. Wish i had that years ago.
It will humble everyone. 🤙🏻
Its like skeuomorphic design that confuses people and keeps their brains trapped in the old ways
Andreas doesn’t gets the credit he deserves. Dude was the foundation for me to get started digging deeper cause he forced me to ask myself the right questions which in turn kept the curiously going and began that journey. Dude is a legend.
Yeah as for the physical gold coin images, i remember it clear as day ‘if its a digital currency why am I seeing these physical bitcoins?!?’ And the whole Casascius coins thing made it even more confusing.
Takes as long as it takes. These lessons will teach everyone in time. But its good to share the speedbumps along the way.
💯 and back then not a soul I knew was curious so I had no friends to ask or #plebchain to go to. Takes time and humility. I say this cause there’s no shame, everyone learns at their own pace. But its worth sharing the journey even with the stops and starts.
Weekend Coinfession:
When I first heard about Bitcoin and tried learning about it years ago, I really struggled. Learning resources were hard for me to find and every article I read or image I saw had this picture or drawing of a round golden physical bitcoin. My brain couldn’t make sense of a purely digital currency when all I saw were images of a physical coin everywhere I looked and in every article I read. It confused the hell out of me so I walked away and didnt come back for way too long. Live and learn.

Are you using Damus? Easiest way generally is to download the ‘Wallet of Satoshi’ app, once you open it you can go to lightning address and copy the address that starts with LNURL and put that into your profile here to get started.
Also, post a note or two asking for help and use the hashtag #plebchain and you can hopefully find some good people to help walk you through it if you’re still having issues. 🤙🏻
A lot of people here use different clients. Damus, Snort, Iris, Amethyst, and countless others.
And while many get religious about which client is the best, I consider myself… AgNostric

It truly was magical, the days of pure nostr innocence
