Nostr would be dead without zaps. It would be even better than it already is without likes/reactions.

the reason you dont “get engagement” on nostr is because you aren’t engaging.

stop trying to manipulate people, and just talk to them.

BREAKING: Gary Gensler, former SEC chair just changed his LinkedIn status. #openfornetwork.

Just comment anything and I will zap you.😎

Everyone gets zap who follows and $boost 🧡 #Bitcoin #NOSTR #BTC #grownostr 👇

Nostr doesn't have many foreign language users, especially in places targeted by the anglosphere for mass murder, since nostr is english-centric bullshit that only pretends to be "decentralized" and "censorship resistant."

BULL MARKETS ARE OFTEN BITTERSWEET FOR MANY.

MOST OF US LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF A STACK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN.

MISTAKES. REGRETS. BAD TRADES. SHIT HAPPENS. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO STACK AND DO BETTER GOING FORWARD. STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.

Happy Saturday fellow weirdos!

What is a simple suggestion that we can give, that will grow nostr?

Ill go first. 🤓

Go into your followers list, and follow every single one of them back.

Mute if necessary.

Lack of engagement is the number one reason retention here is about 1%.

-YOU ARE THE ALGORITHM

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.
