Before we start LARPing too much about how Nostr should take over the world and people should ditch other platforms, let’s acknowledge the fact that nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0, one of the best MMA fighters of all time, is on Nostr. Most of you don’t follow her yet, even though she has been here for a while now.

I personally want to tell Cris, “thank you.” We appreciate her presence. There is no better proof of work than full-contact MMA.

In order for Nostr to grow, it can’t just be bitcoiner techies. It has to be others too. I personally really like the MMA people but more broadly, we should reach out to non-techie people and actually appreciate it when they decide to care about decentralized money and communication.

Thank you Cris, for caring about decentralization and proof of work.

I’m like 99% sure I was the first person to ever zap cyborg . If I wasn’t the first I was definitely one of the first 5 . Cyborg being on Nostr is underrated by the Nostr community

My focus today is to appreciate the champion nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 for being on Nostr. And not just some random post, but a real series of them.

Thank you for taking the time to understand decentralized money and decentralized communication, Cris.

nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 is a legend and a class act . I love that she is into freedom technology and even though she didn’t get as much recognition on here as she would on more popular apps she still rides with us . Nostr/BTC isn’t all that into mma but we will #Growstr and fingers crossed one day Nostr will be being used by more then just devote Bitcoiners and people simping for Sats . Hats off to Cyborg , an absolute legend

Is there a non KYC premium ?

Juice wrld documentary on Max got me sad af 😔RIP Legend

I rarely lose my temper, but whenever I do a couple times per year, my writing gets 10x as much reach and likes and shares, and gets basically immortalized. But I'm rarely happy about it when it does.

I still think about this a lot in terms of how I choose to use social media- with reach comes responsibility.

It's both a bad thing and a good thing. On one hand, it's not great that posts based on a combination of emotion and reason get *way* better reach than ones based on more pure reason alone. For "clicks" the best thing I could do for a given post is lose my temper and go all-out on something.

On the other hand, the rare cases where I lose my temper are based on serious built-up frustrations over months. I'm frustrated about something, keep holding it back, and then something becomes intolerable. My socially-compliant self-censorship all unravels at once, not perfectly, but with a clear aspect of *deep* honesty. And people see that honesty because it reflects their own. So it spreads.

So, most of the time, I write carefully, and I know my audience comes from multiple different backgrounds, literally from Indonesian farmers to Wall Street institutional billionaires, and I try to politely move the Overton window from within the Overton window. But a couple times per year, I lose my temper and post my emotional thoughts, which in some ways are more honest, but are also not exactly my ideal self-actualized self.

I end up being grateful for both my constant attempt at control and my rare tempers, because somewhere in the middle is my truth. That blend between controlled reason and built-up emotion is really hard to manage in an era of digital media and semi-immortalized content.

Anyway, I'll post this random stuff on Nostr, not Twitter. You guys and girls get the real thoughts because you're here.

I simp for Lyn 💯 because she a real one . Keep up the great work 🧡

If you wanna nerd out on data this podcast is super satisfying https://fountain.fm/episode/HfsrylJey8DUuqlc96E6

One of my biggest regrets in life is not making sure that Damus wasn’t going to auto update and having zaps to notes taken from me 😖🔫

My next phone WILL 100% fs not be a IPhone because 🖕🏽🍎unless they 180 their stance on #Bitcoin and fully embrace . They don’t care about my opinion but they will be forced to capitulate or die one day

Is 2024 the year that everyone ask their “ #Bitcoin friend “ what is the halving ? I think this halving is gonna have hype that goes beyond plebs and degens and into main stream

Dearest Nostr eGirls - NostrFans - #Bluesky Refugees,

Once you accumulate enough Zaps that you'd be sad and/or pissed off to see your money disappear, it might be time to talk about the next phase in your Bitcoin journey.

While Bitcoin is money you can't fuck with, many of you are using Wallet of Satoshi or Alby. You can fuck with these wallets. These are great and easy to use wallets, especially because they support Lightning addresses for Zaps. However, these companies hold your Bitcoin for you. You don't control it. They do. If that company went away or suffered a loss, you would lose your Bitcoin!

History has taught us time and time again with Bitcoin that it's "not your keys, not your coins". This just means if you dont own the keys to your Bitcoin, if you don't custody it yourself, it's not yours, it's theirs.

To fix this, you can run these Lightning wallets on your phone with nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg or Phoenix Wallet (and soon nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5). These are special wallets where they run a "node" (a mini server) on your phone that you control. They're fully self custodial. These wallets do not have Lightning addresses, so you can't "Zap" to them.

Here's what I recommend. Use Wallet of Satoshi or Alby until you hit a certain amount and then send it from that wallet to your other wallet that runs the node on your phone that you control. That way large amounts of money are in your control. This is now money no one can fuck with.

And most importantly, be sure to write down and store the backup words in a safe location. You'll see what I mean. 🤙🏻

If you have questions, just ask here or ask #plebchain

Damn bro . Your a Nostr MVP doing the lords work 👊🏽book marked this . Should probably mention I don’t have any associations with EGirls 😂

Hip hop/Rap is so confused . They are majority anti establishment but worship the dollar which is the establishments most effective tool . Rap seems like low hanging fruit for #Bitcoin

Is that the hashtag for fight videos on Nostr or what someone yells when a restaurant REALLY sucks 🧐
