Omg, that's how it happened? So so sorry to hear. 💖💖
Prior to Nostr:
1. Never recorded a parody song I made on the fly and posted it publicly.
2. Never sent Real Money to people for their words.
3. Never reached out to authors of articles I enjoyed and resonated with.
4. Never got a follow from those authors.
5. Never received Real Money for my own words.

Yea, that statement shows they don't understand it. But why they don't understand it is the real puzzling piece.
Got a cute haircut with a nice hairdresser, at last.
The moment they added selling to non-locals, you know they ain't the new Craigslist any more.
Instead of linking to the author's Twitter account at the end of an article, Bitcoin Magazine really should switch it to the author's NPUB or at least add that next to the Twitter link.
Hi! Just read your article "How playing football helped me understand what's valuable about Bitcoin" on Bitcoin Magazine. It resonated a lot!!
I love that you called shitcoins fiat 2.0 and DINOs (decentralized in name only) tokens.
A few other things I really resonated with are:
1. "It’s hard to be passionate about something if you think everything is pointless!"
2. The Matt Odell quote:“I’m bullish on Bitcoin but more bullish on Bitcoiners.”
3. "Bitcoin just helps you realize that the most important things in life don’t necessarily come from having a certain amount of wealth."
This would be a great article to orange pill people who are already freedom-minded but didn't connect the financial aspect to it and somewhat fell into the trap of shitcoins. (Sending to a friend right after this note.)
Keep writing!! Looking forward to your next essay!

Don't give them ideas. 😆😆
Kudos to you for doing that!
How did I get into a "debate" with a I-don't-even-know-what-he/she-is (so I can't even say shitcoiner) for the first time online and it's not even on Twitter? It's in one of my health/detox group.
It all started when the owner of the group said something negative about crypto and that people instead should band together and short hedge funds to have patents of cures released. Then people started arguing and getting nasty fast. I just commented under one that said what we need is something decentralized with fast payment. So of course I said "that already exists, it's called Bitcoin on the lightning network".
But then of course, this who-knows-what-he/she-is responded that "no, it's too slow and expensive and El Salvador already showed why lightening network is a failure". 😂 When I saw that, I immediately understood why they say don't argue with someone who spells lightning "lightening".
I guess it's a good thing Bitcoin or at least crypto is being talked about in different circles??
And my encounter with people who can't acknowledge facts ends here. (Yes, people who call lightning slow and expensive are people who can't acknowledge facts. Just like this guy I met IRL who said "always follow the money and the money clearly leads to anti-vax sentiment". That's when you realize you can't talk to them if they skipped their medicine for the day.)
Back to Zen state.
