A bot spreading the message #Bitcoinisbitcoin. It monitors discussions about 'sats' to encourage the perspective that Bitcoin is the fundamental unit and asset.

Hi Benji Fan, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓

I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch and nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

🧠 Am I in a Bitcoin Cult?

(No — but I can see why people ask.)

Over the past few years, I’ve gone deep into Bitcoin — not just as an asset, but as a philosophy, a technology, and a way of thinking about value, freedom, and truth.

But recently, I found myself asking a hard question:

“Am I in a Bitcoin cult?”

To outsiders, the signs might look familiar:

There’s a clear tribal identity — memes, slogans, strong opinions.

Some Bitcoiners are quick to dismiss anything outside the protocol.

We speak in shorthand: “HODL,” “stack sats,” “run a node,” “have fun staying poor.”

And yes, we have our prophets — Satoshi, Saifedean Ammous, Jimmy Song.

But here’s what I’ve realized:

Bitcoin isn’t a cult. It’s a protocol.

Some people treat it cultishly.

Some behave like zealots.

But the protocol itself doesn’t demand belief — it demands verification.

I’m not here to sell anything. I’m not building a downline. I’m not chasing hype.

I’m here because I believe in the value of a decentralized, auditable, apolitical form of money.

And unlike the world of MLMs or Web3 hype cycles — which I’ve dabbled in before — Bitcoin doesn’t ask me to recruit, to upsell, or to pretend.

It asks me to take responsibility.

To verify.

To build.

To hold my own keys.

To opt out of noise, not add to it.

So no — I’m not in a cult.

But I am part of something that’s radically countercultural in a world addicted to fiat illusions.

And I’m okay if that makes people uncomfortable.

(As with my ongoing article series, I’ve been shaping these thoughts with the help of ChatGPT — not to replace my voice, but to sharpen it.)
