Not naming any specific names, but there are many bitcoin twitter influencers who seem sidelined.

Imagine having 100k followers without having a meaningful bitcoin position.

This is the spot many find themselves in.

They chose clout over sats.

I get it, acquiring clout was easy and acquiring sats was hard.

So they took the easy route thinking they could turn their followers into sats at some point in the future.

Then the price ran away from them.

This has caused much cope/salt/derangement amongst the influencer class.

Which turns twitter into an even lower signal echo chamber than it used to be.

Meanwhile nostr remains high signal and most of the people here seem to have gotten the trade correct and chosen sats over clout (shitcoin).

Which leads to an environment where everyone really is ten toes down building the cypher punk future.

It’s a beautiful thing by comparison.

Sometimes I think this way and then I remind myself that all of the best things in life are cheap or free. Trips to the ice cream shop, playing at the park. Hiking. Biking as a family, going to get a hamburger and fries etc…

Kids don’t need trips to Europe or whatever. That’s shit that adults want. Kids like regular life.

You also don’t know what unseen benefits being marginally poorer are providing you.

For instance I could have bought a home with a bedroom for every kid and probably still will at some point. But the bunk beds and shared bedrooms my kids have increase their bonding when they’re young making it likely for them to be closer when they’re older.

TLDR Hodl

You said forever. Time to mean it.

Years ago I used to sell used books on Amazon for some side income. It was incredibly easy to do at the time. I just looked into doing it again and my seller account no longer exists. To setup a new one Amazon requires the info below. Lmao, that's gonna be a no from me dawg... 🤯
