Somehow I get more engagement at the same time.
GM #nostr
Not being very tech skilled but still excited about it, I am looking on how to best build a node and relay. One that I would run.
I wonder if there is a spike of Brasilian #nostrs?
Btw? If I travel to #Brazil should I delete X?
So when are the bread lines coming?
What a great future investment opportunity, those $8,800 will in the future buy double the R$50,000 fine.
Horrible investment advice alert.
You know the only good news is that those $8,874 will soon buy you double than the actual B$50,000 fine.
This really is not investment advice.
#Brazil not only cancelled X bit of you a private citizen use a VPN to access X will get a fine of ~8,800$ per day or hour or whatever.
Really such greatness when governments take your freedom away.
When new notes notifications come in my feed I always read: nodes.
Is my subconscious telling me something?
I suspect there’s a significant difference between many people’s publicly portrayed #bitcoin journeys and the private journeys they actually experience.
I think the journey is fairly commonly described as either a linear one of increasing knowledge turning into increasing conviction..
Or as a kind of hero’s journey where there’s an initial overconfidence, a subsequent crisis, and a redemptive triumph.
For me, personally, it’s really been neither.
My journey with #bitcoin began almost exactly 6 years ago.
It’s been more like a volatile bell curve meme.
In the very beginning it was I’m a genius, this is the greatest idea ever, I’ve found it, and that’s that.
But the volatile, extended, mid-curve period was sneakily long and almost devious in the ways its emissaries of doubt would creep up on me. Usually at the moments of highest conviction.
I’m honestly not certain if it’s ever over. But I’ve mostly kept to myself for about a year, after I spent the previous years writing, going on podcasts, etc., and I can feel a real calm emerging.
The truth is that if you believe everything you hear on Twitter, if you allow yourself to be thoroughly influenced, thoroughly marooned in the echo chamber, your views will be more fragile than you realize, because they will never sustain a real, existential challenge.
I would also argue another truth is that too much “signal” can end up being no “signal” at all. You end up not guided, but instead scripted.
Like the Buddha, you have to scale the temple walls, you have to get outside your comfort zone, you have to question everything (including your heroes and those telling you to question everything,), and, most importantly, you have to wander a little bit.
Kind of like the Amish Rumspringa, too. (Which is also why I think when nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs jokes about bitcoiners being like the Amish, there’s more than a grain of truth to that)
If you find yourself coming back, it’s a zen feeling.
6 years in, I’m more zen than I’ve ever been and, perhaps surprisingly, at a time when I’ve been saying less than I ever have.
And the journey is not over…
Telling you this feed is quite good. You should monetize it. Ohhh yea we’re on Nostr. You are.
There are glitches but it sort of resets itself. I get some notification glitches on primal.
noStr I see only nostriches
Dad jokes spread to all relays. Because dads aren’t really lazy.
I’ve been wondering…
I’ve bought a raspberry pi 4 a while ago and I’m using it as a Bitcoin node cuz it’s important to validate your own transactions and preserve my privacy without having to rely on someone else’s node.
I’ve made sure that my wallets use my own node (some via Tor).
But is that all I can do?
I mean, it’s not a whole lot I guess? Aren’t you able to have the mempool aswell? Am I able to install that somehow on my phone?
I don’t really find how I can do that tbh

I just find this conversation and setup fascinating.
