I first heard about #bitcoin in 2013.
I had just finished my undergraduate in #psychology and my electrical engineering friend and I were catching up at a Chinese BBQ restaurant.
He was explaining how we were going to use our phones to unlock doors and that the currency of the future was going to be digital, and that China was already using bitcoin. I thought he was borderline delusional.
By 2018, I only started to understand what a Bitcoin was when an ex-partner of mine showed me what a bitcoin mining facility looked like. Which was a warehouse full of giant computers, that were constantly “mining”, which required a lot of electricity not only to power the computers but to cool down the space. I was starting to be able to conceptualize what a bitcoin entailed.
This weekend, I learned about the economical rational as to why we should own bitcoin and the sovereignty, and thereby the mental, emotional and spiritual freedom that comes with it.

Hi AngelaIvyLeong, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓
I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch and nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊
