I don’t fanboy over people; I fanboy over protocols, especially freedom technologies like (in chronological order):
Email, Internet, The Onion Router, #Bitcoin, and #Nostr.
Perhaps it took widespread data leaks for us to truly value privacy.
Seeing major players acquire significant amounts of #Bitcoin can be daunting.
Even as a small part of their portfolio, their holdings overshadow mine.
Yet, while they hold more Bitcoin, they lack an edge over my sats. With their poor custody, I might just end up with theirs! 😈
I keep up with #Bitcoin news. It’s a pastime, but it doesn't really impact me.
My strategy remains unfazed: stay productive, stack and hodl as much as is achievable, and with enough time anything is possible.
I’m hooked on cold, raw #Bitcoin.
Diversifying seems too risky.
I’d rather be frugal and save the fat.
Price drops excite me—cheaper sats! Glad we’re not over $1 million or even $100k yet.
The network is extremely undervalued.
#Bitcoin’s appeal keeps growing. If it hasn't caught your eye yet, it might when it becomes essential to live.
Currently, new whales and smart money are outpacing retail investors.
I'm curious to see how price action will shift with these deep-pocketed, committed participants.
Anyone turning #Bitcoin into a walled garden isn't a friend.
#BTC is for everyone.
We need inclusivity.
#Bitcoin's open access is a feature, not a bug.
Tradfi barriers stifle demand.
Soon, tradfi will advocate for #Bitcoin as it becomes essential for tradfi’s survival.

I'm working on the very first book about Nostr, "21 Questions: Nostr Edition", which is a follow-up to the book I completed earlier this year, "21 Questions: Bitcoin Edition" (https://a.co/d/5nv1GoK).
Like the Bitcoin Edition, the Nostr Edition will list 21 of the top questions that new Nostr users tend to ask, and each one will be answered by many of the greatest minds involved developing Nostr and spreading the purple pill. 🟣
And that could also include 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
The first question/chapter in the book will simply be: "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿?" How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 answer that?
Share your answer in the comments, and if I think it's good enough, I'll include it in the book, and attribute it to you, forever immortalizing you in the first-ever Nostr book.
It’s a decentralized social networking protocol. It aims to create a censorship resistant platform where users can interact without the drawbacks of using centralized servers, because of this no single entity can control the data thanks to the network of relays that distribute content on the nostr protocol. This puts control back in the hands of the users while also promoting freedom of expression and extending your potential for privacy or publicity (the best of both worlds).
It is simply another freedom protocol that empowers its users to overcome tyrannical oppression.
I’m extremely optimistic on our future and what the ethos of bitcoin and nostr will inspire.
I hope all the 💩coins get ETFs and everyone learns the costly lesson I did:
There is no second best.
Amid all the distractions, I’ll keep my eyes on the prize and stack sats at a steep discount compared to what it would be if everyone knew what I know.
#Bitcoin
I’m now exhausted by complaints about #Bitcoin’s volatility.
Stability stems from price fixing, and a fixed market’s limitations shape our current state.
What if stability was the problem?
No system is flawless, but #BTC's trade-offs make it superior in my view.
When overall enthusiasm wanes for whatever reason I always get extra bullish on #Bitcoin.
I don’t care what other people are doing, if I’m producing value I’m stacking #BTC, and if I’m not producing value I’m dead.
Patience and consistency will pay dividends in the long run.
I don’t time the market or get rattled by volatility, but I will spend my #Bitcoin if needed and try to replace it ASAP based on logistics.
I appreciate #BTC’s quick-like-a-bandaid nature. I prefer a cascading capitulation over a drawn-out decline. No need to prolong pain.
Yes but what about the dippity dip dip?
Cascading declines like #Bitcoin just witnessed are caused by paper hands either covering losses or being forced to sell.
I’m confident in #Bitcoin; selling it is the last thing I’d do right now.
This is an opportunity for those of us who don’t have enough #BTC.
Setting a $1.5 million barrier to invest in #Bitcoin is perplexing. Why keep it so exclusive?
#BTC should be for everyone, not just the super wealthy.
Many big players are likely maneuvering cautiously before diving in, each in their unique way, agreeable or not.
Yeah I try my best not to shill NGU for that reason
I’ve been recommending books and podcasts for a while to this guy. I’ve hired him for side jobs and given him 10-25% raises if he will accept btc (also cuz I hate asking people to work weekends).
For some reason Friday it all started to make sense. He said bitcoin didn’t make sense until he started to understand/question money!!!
We agreed that people who are unaware of the world’s problems will find bitcoin as a rude awakening, but people who want to see a better future realize BTC adoption is crucial.
I’m excited to see how this goes. Orange pilling your friends feels like the finish line after so much effort, but it’s really just the beginning!
