GM! ☕ I proudly support nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg! This is the way to the future! 😎
Good morning, Constantin! Are you in France? Nice picture!
Watching with fingers crossed! 🤞 🤩
It’s fascinating to watch the confusion unfold! 🍿 😂
Good morning, Constantin! Doing our best! 🫂
Nothing like that! We, Eastern Europeans, are very poor people. 1 Sat counts as a lot of money here! 😅
My Nostr predictions for 2025
Exactly one year ago I published my Nostr predictions for 2024. Some came true, but most were, shall we say, aspirational, and, if we want to be generous, directionally correct. Happy to continue in the same vein and go out on a limb for 2025. Here we go, ordered by likelihood of coming true:
1. Primal will become much, MUCH better. Primal 3.0 will be a bigger leap forward than Primal 2.0 was. We will surprise everyone by the features, speed, level of polish, and ease of use.
2. Many other Nostr clients will impress by their progress in a relatively short time frame. If I had to pick one, I have a really good feeling about Highlighter.
3. Way more bitcoiners will join Nostr. While we currently only have a small subset of bitcoin enjoyers on Nostr, the new features and unique content will make Nostr irresistible to anyone interested in bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin-adjacent communities will start to discover and join Nostr. This will include health & wellness, financial twitter, human rights, libertarians, and other communities. As a result, the network will grow and become more formidable.
5. Spammers gonna spam. With the growth of the network, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. The Blossom protocol will make media hosting on Nostr much more robust and resistant to censorship.
7. Long form content will start to hit its stride on Nostr. This includes textual long form content (blogs, essays, articles, etc.) as well as long form video content.
8. Multiple Nostr projects will find effective and ethical ways to monetize, marking a watershed moment for the protocol. We will witness the formation of the first cohort of real businesses on Nostr, signaling the inevitable changing of the guard and the eventual extinction of the Legacy Web.
9. Nostr will experience a glimpse of what a ‘suddenly’ mainstream adoption moment looks like.
10. By the end of the year, everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
One thing is certain: we will keep pushing until we will this thing into existence. 🤝
Anyhow, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Pura Vida, and Peace and Love to you all! ♥️☀️
+1 Prediction: Nostr identities will eventually replace usernames and emails in many decentralized, and even traditional, web applications! 😎
Good morning and Merry Christmas to you too, Constantin!
My wife told me that if I don't stop talking about Bitcoin, we will lose most of our friends. 😅
Good morning and Merry Christmas to you too, djmeistro!
Merry Christmas to you too, Constantin!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas filled with joy, love, and laughter! May this holiday season bring you peace and happiness!
2024 – A Year of Growth and Bitcoin Commitment
2018 marked the beginning of my #Bitcoin journey, and 2024 became a year of transformative growth.
International Experiences
In February, I attended the Bitcoin Atlantis conference in Madeira, meeting inspiring figures like nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle , nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m , nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe , and nostr:npub1cj94enk44kn5mvrcma4sp7jnlsgnn4em7rk3dh3jt4fzyqs3m02s560efa .
In June, I delivered two presentations at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r , representing the Hungarian #Bitcoin community on an international stage.
Educating and Learning
In May, I joined the Bitcoin Educators Academy, hosted by Amity Age, where I learned how to teach Bitcoin effectively with seven peers. Special thanks to nostr:npub1regqy84lgkptfthek7jxp4plcnh62kupljwa36zk46t0el2ntz3qqt0eqk for his exceptional guidance.
First Bitcoin Hotels in Hungary
This year, the Hotel Aurora and Hotel Atlantis became the first hotels in Hungary to accept #Bitcoin payments, marking a major milestone for us.
Organizing Bitcoin Miskolc
In October, we hosted Hungary’s first three-day Bitcoin Miskolc conference, bringing together over 200 attendees passionate about Bitcoin.
Community Leadership
As an admin of the Hungarian nostr:npub1twvs6dew9ta5ha5c75ufu7antyhld04nm8uzl2nqc6wfhdkmftksvfl896 group, I’m proud to see our community grow to 400+ members. Weekly podcasts and engaging discussions have strengthened our shared mission.
Business Leadership
I had the honor to present Bitcoin at the Trust Summit, hosted by Hungary’s Bizalmi Kör. Sharing Bitcoin fundamentals with the country’s top business leaders was a unique opportunity to showcase its potential.
Personal Statement
Every trip this year, whether personal or professional, included my Bitcoin-branded cap. “Wear your statement” became a personal motto, symbolizing my commitment to #Bitcoin.
2024 has been a year of learning, growth, and sharing my passion for Bitcoin. The journey continues in 2025 with the next Bitcoin Miskolc Conference in Hajdúszoboszló. 🚀
Your dedication and achievements are truly inspiring! Wishing you even greater success and growth on your Bitcoin journey in 2025!
Good morning, Constantin! I wish you a beautiful week too!
GM! ☕ Reminder: Being great is not an option, it's an obligation! 😎
Good morning, Constantin! ☕ Beautiful weekend to you too! 😎
