Is it worth getting a hosted BTC miner?
I went to a gig and didn’t use my phone.
What’s the obsession with vlogging on here? 😂 what did I miss?
Hot take of the night
Bitcoiners spend way too much time trying to "orange pill" others
First off, everyone discovers Bitcoin on their own - no one is immune from this.
Instead, we should be focused on the people who want to learn Bitcoin and can actually grow the network.
Let me explain.
When we are talking about growing adoption - take nostr as an example
I first heard about nostr from nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46qz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshgjtu6
I don't have a clue how many I've onboarded to nostr since then - in the hundreds for sure
That's how true adoption grows - speaking to people who are open minded and want to learn
The close minded people will get here eventually but on their own terms
Fuck em
Focus on those who want to be here
I agree, mostly
Although I don’t think it hurts to drop it in conversation as much as you can with people. The more they are aware and hear it, the more likely to look into it.
Issue I have with telling people is I can be a little too maxi with it - so maybe that’s the issue!
Great episode on BTC
It’s funny how things go full circle.
Back in the day, I was full open source, hated centralisation and wanted to build everything
Mid career, full on cloud advocate, centralised management (looking at you Active Directory!)
Now I’ve gone full circle and hate the idea of centralised hosted services.
Time for an #introduction!
👋 I’m Paul - and very new to Nostr. You’ll probs find me on X and LinkedIn - mostly shitposting
I’m an IT strategy architect by trade, focusing mostly on identity and access management and zerotrust - albeit a long history in infrastructure architecture. Cut my teeth as it were during the virtualisation revolution (I feel older than that 😂)
I live in Manchester, UK and started a boutique consultancy working on IT strategy transformation.
Love BTC (actually tried buying it from Mt Gox back in the day).
Is there a service similar to bitcoin well in the UK?
I’m thinking UK bank account, automatically converted into BTC and sent into wallet/lightening.
Accidentally zapped myself - this is going to take some time to get used to 😂😂
Depends on what you are hoping to achieve. We gives more credibility to the story - but the rest of the site needs to align (so no stock photos of people)
The single person org is a big thing right now - so may work depending on target org.
Hello Nostra! This is my first post - interesting to see how this works :)
