Anything can be a weapon, with the wrong intent. They say Cain killed his brother with a donkeys jawbone

Yakihonne is sick. I wonder how else nostr can be utilized?

Dero (DERO)

The nostr clients that want you to use a browser ln wallet, that has access to all your browsing data, in order to use said client, smell too much like metamask eth surveillance (and eventual control). I passed on habla and a couple others in favor of yakihonne so i could just use my isolated ln wallet in peace.

True, another good option

Sometimes when I scroll my feed, i find myself laughing. This is not a rag on anyone, but, how deep in the bubble are you? xD It's honestly kinda funny.

"We are changing the world with Bitcoin!" "The state is evil, put all your money in bitcoin" and other rah-rah type of posts.

But when I walk to my baker and order some bread or breakfast - or go to the supermarket to by smokes and other groceries, I can only pay with Euro, Debit or Credit card still.

I get the idea and why Bitcoin is good. But, reality check: We are *far* away from this ideal. Rather than rah-rah'ing around, put your coin where your mouth is and your ass in gear: Convince stores, share flyers, organize meetings and network your way across industries and people to increase your reach to potentially find a platform at which you can speak and can be heared - and, even more importantly, where people WANT to hear you.

"Your money sucks!" and other "insulting" punchlines won't get you far. Whilst true, who wants to be insulted (outside of a BD/SM or otherwise there-oriented place)? Nobody.

This is actually hard work, like, /hard. work./

The occasional motivational post or meme is nice for a few seconds, but all it does is pass time.

You can do better, I am believe that. So go out there and do it. Find ways to re-train people to not associate "crypto currencies" with everything spammy and scammy. Show people actually easy apps and usecases. Introduce businesses in to how they can easily accept and use Bitcoin - or Lightning, doesn't matter in this case - and show them that their funds are secure. If you must, carry a NetHunter or Kali device with you and prove that you couldn't get any deeds on them - this is something businesses need to know.

And, this is *exactly* why I don't do much with Bitcoin or Lightning. I have both, even Monero, but I treat it more like "Twitch Bits" here on Nostr. They're fun to zap around and receive and show appreciation in more than just a like. But actually cashing out and using them in the real world is difficult.

Later today I will be trying to find a RoboSats offer to transfer 10€/~41k sats out of my node and into my Paypal with Robosats to buy a thing online. But this whole process is... hard. And normies like my mom, the baker or the cashier in a REWE don't want hard, they want "it to work".

Here is the article I wrote, feel free to share it with local businesses and anyone in general as I have

I printed business cards with link and qr code to make it easy for people. Some info is outdated as btc p2p site is down as well as another crypto merchant directory I had listed
