Surreal and quite fun to visit as a bitcoiner.
Economic value flowing from centralized fiat institutions into Bitcoin.
Social value flowing from centralized social platforms into Nostr.
Hyperbitcoinization.
Hypersocialization.

Book reading clubs could be an interesting thing to build on Nostr. Just like playlists, reading lists would be great for users to own and use in different apps.
Started the same thing few months ago - used to read lots and past few years online reading perhaps reduced my ability to focus. What app do you recommend to track your reading?
Last 3 reads -
The Bitcoin age (really enjoyed, it’s very different than layered money and revisits Bitcoin from first principles its cypherpunk origins)
The internet of money (Bitcoin classic for some reason I had not read- mostly aged superbly with some early and incredibly spot on predictions)
Nexus (some really interesting ideas there about stories, information networks and how AI might become a central part of that
Good morning.
Nostr will provide value converting to IRL interactions.
Legacy social media provides advertising converting to online transactions.
Last day at work yesterday. New chapter starting.
If you hold it long enough, Bitcoin becomes part of your personal story - mentally, socially, emotionally and financially. Then of your family story.
At that stage you start feeling the need to make it part of your community’s story.
the speed of language seems to really be the speed of thought indeed
Looks like it works now - thanks nostr:npub1kjehzhkadcmt9wxu34ftf65gpplwh2rsl8p6fa03266evjrtpm9qg24x4r
Got a zap notification from Damus but no zaps in Damus or primal - weird. Using my primal lnurl to receive zaps, what might be the issue?
So what I still miss from X is the research and creative communities I follow around graphics, design, AI and robotics. How do we get them here gradually then suddenly? What can make nostr a better tool to share and discuss artistic and technical progress?
Just deleted X. Time to shift to more positive vibes.

Is there a top? Think about it… does fiat have a bottom? I guess zero is the bottom. Always has been.
The flippening has happened for me. I am spending more time on Nostr than any other social app. I very rarely post on X and when I do, the signal gets completely lost in the algo. Nostr made me comfortable to post again and many posts give me joy or new insights.
I had my account over a year but only last week I started playing with all the different apps using a signing extension. That was a true rabbit hole moment, like seeing my first transaction on the timechain over 10 years ago. The ecosystem is already so rich yet it’s only starting. The talks from Nostriga have really inspired me as well.
I am starting to feel better, more positive, whereas sessions on X leave me somewhat anxious. It’s still very useful tool to follow technical fields, hopefully we can engage with researchers, artists, musicians and technologists to build their own communities here.
So besides this post which is about Nostr itself, I will try to add value in the future.
Interesting to think about more and more content that could uniquely becontributed to Nostr. There could be different level of ‘signal’:
#nostrfirst: first posted on Nostr.
#nostronly: only posted on Nostr
#nostrnew: only posted on Nostr and content that previously was not available anywhere on the internet, accessible to any algorithms, AI etc. That could be new content, or posting pre existing analog media that was never posted online.
