RIP Bitcoin twatter

Who's gonna go over there & call Deater Bob out for using a scam promoting platform?

1618 sats

I thought it was 10k looking through my Tx history but remembered that was me topping up my zap wallet.

You've swapped out a habit.

Whether it's bad our not is entirely at your discretion.

I personally don't have it on while working because I'm easily distracted by you guys. 😅

I feel like the straight boosting of a root note is a bit of a faux pas. This is especially true when the note is big/long or if the noter is well followed (eg Odell, Jack, Gigi).

The clear exceptions I can see (there may be more - context is key):

- an old, forgotten note that you think is relevant

- a reply note that has value on it's own (without context)

- a new verified Nostr user that doesn't have a following yet

- if you're going to add some context agree or diagree (quote note)

You can do it, but if you keep cluttering my feed, I'll eventually either quietly unfollow you or mute you. I'm pretty tolerant & it would take a lot for me to get to that point, but we all have a line. We've also all probably done it & there are no take backs here.

There will be a bit of an eternal September as Nostr goes parabolic & we create our unique culture.

The hardest part for a newb is finding the signal amongst all the noise.

Each year the signal gets stronger & it's easier to find.

The path to hodling is well worn & maintained now. It's never been easier to see Bitcoin.

I don't man 🙂

I'm seeing a count of about 1200 followers. This 1200 is more about their client than yours. Even if you're client can't see them, those 1200 can probably see you.

I can also see you're only following 5 npubs. This to me seems odd & may indicate that you've had a client send an update with an incomplete list of your follows (people you want to hear from).

This is where Nostrgram.com can help you

Use the web client version & download the getAlby browser extension to manage your nostr private key.

It allows you to login & sign events without providing each web client your private key.

That's for recovering your Follows. It's a super useful tool although may not be useful in this case.

I think Mags is talking about followers.

The count of your followers is a complex task & involves your client literally counting the npubs that have you in their follow list. It's unlikely they've been lost, more likely that Amethyst has just not found them yet.

I recommend not giving a shit who's following you & focus on sending & receiving a strong signal. I lost my follower count on Amethyst too but then 69 were found 😂 🤷

Once you see the deception, it's hard to unsee it.

I thought it would be hard to walk away from it.

Turns out, it's harder to go back to it.

For those using Amethyst from the app store - get it updated.

Set your own default zaps.

This is also how you show Twatter content bro.

Screenshot the fucker because I aint getting sucked in to twatter scrolling.

Try not to focus your attention on that which you do not like. I don't mean to bury your head in the sand, just see the problem & focus on the solution.

Getting riled up about all the stupid shit they're trying to push on us, is taking their bait. It's what twatter does to people every moment they're on there.

It's a beautiful world with lots of wonderful people. You're perception of it, is your reality.

You got this bro.

🧡💪

Bitcoin teaches you how to exchange value. That there's value being exchanged all the time, everywhere.

That's a super power in a world where people expect to be just handed value.

You got this brother.

Those guys are psychopaths

It's was a lot of anticipation & then tick tock.

🤷

I have 4 halvings before I'm legally able to access my superannuation.

That kind of blows my mind.

I'm usually more concerned about follows but then sometimes my followers catch my eye.

Any solo miner who finds a block is a legend.

Imagine finding a block, grabbing 6.25+ in non KYC bitcoin & not being able to safely tell anyone.

His npub is still wet!

Welcome Peter!

I bet you haven't priced nostr in 😅
