GOOD MORNING NOSTR, CORRUPT POLITICIANS WILL ATTEMPT BITCOIN BANS, WE WILL MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT. 🫡

Gm everyone going to be a solid day. Made it through another rotation around the sun this week sometime and now my kids are telling me I'm really old

#goodmorning #plebchain #plebdad

Is there STILL no way to make polls on Nostr? #asknostr #nostr

I think we’ve had this conversation before 🤣

That said, I'm not against #onlyZaps and I think zapping should be the default. But there's room for emoji reactions. "You wouldn't zap a car crash" and all that.

Very true, list of Countries considering:

Malta

Madeira

St Kitts & Nevis

List of Countries in the case of WW3:

Australian Outback

If you don’t feel nervous, you’re doing it wrong.

That's spot on 🎯

It was just part of a tourist package. My wife and I toured the country for a week. We visited the salt flats, salt mines, checked out volcanoes, hung out with pink flamingoes, ect.

I wish the story was better, like having a summer job working mines, but alas.

I kinda disagree on that. A "like" can be a nod, or a thumbs up, or a "I've read this / seen this", etc.

There's a reason why Slack and GitHub comments have emoji reactions, and it's not to feed the algo (they don't have an algo).

Views / Likes / Zaps are distinct and different, and for good reason. I have more to say about this soon, but I'll have to leave it at that for now.

Agree — gotta say something edifying, based, funny or interesting to earn a zap.

Contribute, don’t beg.

Everyone is capable of doing so.

This is an old friendship. We were really good friends 15-20 years ago and it’s been drifting ever since. Honestly it was easy to drop him once he crossed the line. I didn’t lose any sleep over it.

I love it, but have no idea on whether it's good or not. I mined salt in Bolivia back in 2017, I have a ton of it left at home. I typically alternate between pink Himalayan and the Bolivian salt.

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Definitely matters who is selling and where it’s sourced. Maybe some nutrient poor homo told me that the pink salt is bad because he wants me to be weak like him

I hear that Celtic sea salt is the new wave. Used to be big on the pink himi salt but I’ve heard the quality and nutrient density has faded over years

Just had one of my major on ramps shutdown by the government.

Currently looking at moving to another country
