I don’t know, I can’t get enough cheese. I feel like a big mouse. I got a craving for the stuff. Do you think maybe that’s an allergy?
I believe it sets up a whole bunch of folks for you to follow in one swoop. Not 100%, just seeing it minutes ago myself.
nostr:npub1n3rmk5g03eej40rg2x83azxnml879lxxynxegfawl36e6qqrs8gqllmkh7 Same on this side. Your folks clearly (purposefully or not) taught you the importance of knowledge and self reliance, because I can see you took that lesson and ran.
That would mean we had sound money, and wouldn’t be dealing with many of the problems we find ourselves struggling with now!
How simplifying & incredible it would be if we could save in the currency we earned and have the value accrue rather than wither.
What was the last to fail, Zimbabwean Dollar a little under 20 years ago?
Which looks primed to fall next?
Stop Comparing Nostr to X
X is flooded with bot farms, scammers, and fake profiles. If you magically removed them, you'd be left with maybe 30% real users—barely more than Nostr.
Nostr is growing slowly, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful: the growth is organic. It has massive engagement—arguably more than any social platform except maybe Facebook. And to be fair, Facebook got a lot right.
People hoping Nostr becomes “as big as X” are chasing fake metrics from a fake internet. Most real people don’t even use X or traditional social media anymore. Deep down, they know it’s all noise and a waste of time.
The truth is, most of the internet is fake. Regular people just use it for essentials and avoid the social media circus.
If we want everyday people to give social media a second chance through Nostr, we need to protect its integrity.
Bots and fake profiles are already creeping into Nostr. If that’s not stopped now, Nostr will turn into the same trash heap X has become.
And stop thinking like a socialist—wanting everything to be free on Nostr just so the average person can join.
Nostr is not for freeloaders.
Think like a capitalist. If something has real value, it shouldn’t be given away for free just to attract the masses.
Nostr is for builders, thinkers and those who value freedom.. and for those who invest, contribute, and build value.
Nostr is for us. The real people.

The second this starts to look like X and other popular social media, is right around when I will be finding the exit!
I think the major allure is that it isn't like X and the others... at least for me.
Been manifesting the same thing for 20 years, hasn't come to fruition yet...-the timeline seems like a thing that cannot be controlled.
Dare I ask why you want a guillotine…?
& I’m sure it shows…🤣
I know it smells amazing at your spot right now 🤤
Would it be worthwhile to set up my own relay for NOSTR? As I understand it, it would give me a little more control and decentralization of my data.
I have a mini pc with 500gb HDD that runs 24/7, would that fit the bill to run my own? Does anyone have a favorite guide/tutorial for a newb doing first time NOSTR relay setup?
Thanks all!

Hahaha he's got us on the edge of our seats with that revelation he's withholding from us!
Welcome! I'm new here also, and so far everyone has been very friendly and helpful. 💓
Well that explains why you’re so tapped in!
I love this - you really know your stuff! I have been on the turmeric tip for a minute now. Helped me so much with this elbow pain I had been having after I went too hard in the gym!!!!
I’m half his age, and my knees are crying just imagining squatting like that.
I’d love it if that also meant no work!
Hahah is this for real or satire?? I’m still stunned people are buying these.
