Now that I've had time to sleep on the "ZBD" issue. I feel that my reasoning yesterday for continuing to discuss this client wasn't so much about ZBD itself, it was because of me being shocked an appalled at the toxicity being sent towards ZBD users. We often say how the vibe on Nostr is different and how we embody positivity, but that hasn't been shown the last few days towards ZBD users.

It's okay to bash a client and securitize it's implementation of Nostr. This is how the protocol grows. However, it's not cool to do this towards brand new Nostriches. They didn't do anything wrong. They're mostly just people looking to play games and stack some sats. There's nothing wrong with that.

This should be a teaching moment for them. This should be a knowledge exchange. We do this for new Bitcoiners, right? We teach them about self custody. The same can be applied here. Instead of telling someone why you feel Coinbase isn't the solution for them, you can tell them why you feel ZBD isn't the solution for them.

Remember, we're trying to #grownostr here, so you need to explain everything in a cool and calm manner here. You could even write a long and precise guide so that you can just give them the noteID or link to the web site.

If we truly believe that Nostr is for everyone and Nostr is open, then we should do better and explain better. We're not toxic. We left that conversation on Twitter for a reason, because we want to build and change the future for the better.

Donโ€™t hate, educate.

We donโ€™t see the world as it is, but as we are.

We canโ€™t change others but we certainly can change ourselves.

When we change, what we see is changed.

Understanding and working with this has helped me to be tolerant and allowing of others beliefs, opinions, and view points.

Weather I agree or disagree with them is irrelevant, not being triggered or reactive is the work to develop and maintain peacefulness within, this is a choice, this is the gap between stimulus and response.

What have you been up to this weekend?

Switching miners over to heat the house and chilling with the family.

Be kind, be reasonable, be rational, speak truth and cause a little ruckus along the way.

Sadly, many will buy in to this narrative. My mother in law brought this up and I started to explain money printing and watched her eyes glaze over in seconds. Bless her heart.

True, but we can still have a beautiful existence on earth but we have to be much more intentional about it, personally responsible and disciplined. Sadly, ignore most of what conventional wisdom or society offers as a good way to live and think for ourselves and forge our own path.

Align mind, body, spirit.
