#[0] RE: mostr.pub: this is very broken. all the hashtags i put on Mastodon appear as weird account names on Nostr.
to maximise your chances of getting rich, you'd have to be involved with everyone and everything at all times. nobody took Apple seriously when they first started. the prototype they presented to investors looked like crap. somebody just happened to take a chance on it, in a "well, fuck it" moment.
i've seen this "thing that started out as a toy" thing play out several times. you can never predict what will stay a toy and what will grow bigger. it's down to luck whether you chose to play with one toy or another 10 years ago, as far as i'm concerned.
i don't actually have all that much respect for early holders of Bitcoin because i heard about Bitcoin on Slashdot when it first came out and could have gotten some Bitcoin at that point. thing is that no one saw it as anything but a nerd's toy at the time. i think the people who got into it at the time were just playful. at the time, being interested in Bitcoin was like being interested in Monopoly money or some other game like Rubik's cubes. "fun plaything." and if you just so happened to like computer toys, you might make a Bitcoin wallet as a kind of game. and this toy that you dicked around with a decade ago suddenly became very valuable. i wasn't the type to dick around with toys so i didn't get a wallet at the time. i'm not sure how this makes you particularly respectable.
still quite new here, so i might find my place, but it's a bit rough at the moment compared to my main home on Mastodon. i'm mostly settled as far as my identity is concerned though, as you might expect out of a fully grown adult, so WYSIWYG.
there's this one guy from Denmark that they made a documentary about. i don't remember his name. no, i don't think it's the guy Google talks about when i type "bitcoin denmark guy" into it. he has a moustache. showy guy. buys expensive items. not a nomad as such but he's most certainly "living the life".
and the lesser degree of engagement i'm getting on here on average is making me somewhat less inclined to pass it on. the lesser amount of generosity is contagious, in other words. this place just feels a bit colder.
after spending ~24 hours on here, first impression is that the social dynamic is a bit more Twitter-like on here, because it's more difficult to get likes, boosts and follows compared to Mastodon.
Twitter was a complete desert to me. Mastodon was an oasis. this is somewhere in between.
i'll talk about my past successes and tell you what i can do, and will do work if i get an offer, but i'm not sending applications and getting on the damned hamster wheel again.
now you make a move, Mr. World, and i will die on this hill.
and i used up all the juice and optimism i had on trying to get and keep a full time job before and that didn't work out for me, so now the world needs to prove itself worthy of my trust - not the other way around
like, i don't have money when Bitcoin dips and i don't need it when Bitcoin peaks. i have it at random times and need it all the time. there's no room for investment.
Bitcoin doesn't fix anything if you haven't got any income stability or endurance for money management to begin with. any time i tried to have holdings in Bitcoin, i ran out of cash and needed to exit at inopportune times.

you could point to Tupperware as successful multi-level marketing but i doubt any housewives got rich off it.
Mr. Tupper, however?
yeah...
in English, you call them Ponzi schemes
in Norwegian, we call them "pyramidespill" - pyramid games
