There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.

To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.

And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media

The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲

But let me tell you something.

And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.

People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.

Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.

I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.

That sucks, respect the effort though

GM Dave, good analogy except no fixed supply of honey… other than what each hive will hold! 😉😁

Fear not.

MY NPUB IS NOT FOR SALE!

I have been thinking a bit about paid engagement and paid follows. Specifically Paid reposts. While this may be a viable way to get attention, it could be quite dangerous to Nostr’s health and the view people have on it.

Another thing to consider is if you are reposting everything under the sun for money without purpose, you are essentially exposing your follows to spam and possible harm if what you are promoting harms them, it also makes you look desperate too and often will make people not interact with you.

Believe me I know, I used to be the king of paid engagement as many of you know.

But also I have come to the conclusion that Nostr is something special, and is worth being protected from this type of behavior.

Which is why I am now taking the pledge of “MY NPUB IS NOT FOR SALE” meaning I pledge not to engage in fake engagement or promote fake engagement, meaning reposts, likes, or follows for money.

I have no problem with advertising on Nostr, in fact I think there are many great ways to do so in a less invasive manner.

If you would like to join me in this pledge, Reply “MY NPUB IS NOT FOR SALE”

I am not saying everyone has to agree or do the same, just sharing what I have decided.

Good Morning ☀️😀🧡🫂😉🎢

GM Dave! 🐝 have a great one
