#introductions

I realize I’ve never written an introduction, though I think I am still within the statute of limitations to do so.

Until Nostr, I hadn’t been active on a social network since probably around 2017. This place is chaotic, messy, changing fast, and totally euphoric vibes. I love it. #Nostr is what the internet should have always been.

Being offline for as long as I had, it’s still strange to post, share, and discuss ideas so openly.

I’ve been fortunate to check off a pretty ambitious bucket list early in my life, which is liberating. Faced death… more than a few times, did interesting things, met interesting people.

I Benjamin Buttoned my career, starting off managing billions of dollars in institutional assets in my early 20’s, receiving all sorts of awards and recognitions, then worked towards progressively reducing my responsibilities over time until firing myself completely.

Since this is Nostr, I feel obligated to add that yes I do think about #Bitcoin constantly. No, I do not know why.

Please don’t hesitate to say hi! My life is pretty obscure, which means you’re probably going to be interesting, no matter how typical it may be to you!

So I am at 911 followers.

##nostr , can I get a push to 1000???

The headline benefit of their wallet is that by collecting that data, it enables them to offer you the ability to top up your wallet using your bank money.

This is a primal specific thing. They let you set up your own wallet and link it using a lightning address, but they provide this feature as a default in order to help newcomers get started quickly.

Those who wish to withhold the information asked will either find another solution or simply not set up a wallet at all, but this gets more people on board in general.

Those who are more into privacy are more into putting in work. Fortunately, Primal gives you the option to choose, but other clients just force you to do extra work to set it up.

Welcome to #nostr you came to right place! Free speech and free expression on a decentralized protocol is the best form of communication

It's like that head that you dont know is turning left or right

4 Month ago I switched to an Nothing Phone (Android) after 14 years on iPhone. I did regret it, for me nowadays it's so much better then iPhone. And can do nearly everything i want with it. It feels like it has no restrictions at all

The relays are not very accurate with follower counts. Most people have been conditioned to focus on that - here we are not really focused on how many followers we have. we just engaged in conversations. However, if you want a more accurate count. I think you can try Nostr.Band

You are probably used to an algorithm showing you stuff you want (or don't want) to see. Here you have to follow people you like if you want a better experience. So I'd recommend having a "follow bias" and then you can unfollow later if you prefer not to see their notes. Otherwise your feed will look dead.

Run faster, rats!

Hello all, hope you are having a good day
