It's hard to understand how the government can take money out of your pockets without physically taking money out of your pockets.

A concept too abstract for the majority to understand.

Took me over 30 years to understand this.

#bitcoin

Go to wallet settings and switch off the use primal wallet option. Then set up nostr wallet connect with a wallet that also has that feature. For example I'm using minibits ecash for my zaps.

Raw milk should just be called milk.

The bastardised, denatured version they call pasteurized should be the one that gets labelled.

This is where Oreos come from. 👀 nostr:note1687q0gaqmcf2mj0nlxuk0r2ndap3gsk3um239q4nscw72grfxaesu88c7x

I’m hearing more from my friend about the world of influencers.

13 of the 15 girls on the hen do this weekend were fitness influencers or similar.

Here’s my takeaways.

🎙️ No one cares about deplatforming or censorship. No one spoke of Twitter / Brazil over the weekend.

💀 Gyms in london have influence hours where you can film without bothering other normal gym goers.

🏃‍♂️ running is cool again but you have to have a big bum too. It’s kind of unobtainable. Classic.

💉 everyone has had some “tweakment” done. Baby Botox or botox, lip filler, minor boob job, profilo (smooths your skin), lazer treatments, veneers etc. it’s SO normalised among young women, apparently.

💇‍♀️ hair extensions are less cool. No one has them anymore.

🥘 all but one of them has suffered from an eating disorder.

The anorexia or bulimia or any other number of things I hadn’t heard of before had of course affected their periods.

One of them had been told by a doctor when she was 16 that she wouldn’t be able to conceive. So sad.

So she never used protection with her partner of 7 years and this summer she fell pregnant… awesome right?

Well maybe. don’t forget she and her partner had always prepared for a childless life.

🥾 they went on a hike on Saturday morning. The hike took 2 hours. Taking photos as part of the hike?

ALSO TWO HOURS 💀

💰 it’s not enough to have 200k instagram followers + affiliates and sponsors.

You need to have a business like a “sustainable” swimwear brand or vegan cookbook / online coaching. Basically you have to treat your audience as a customer base.

Funny story. One girl had created a load of Tupperware brand.

But oops. She messed up because people stopped buying from her coz the products actually lasted. So they bought one for life and she couldn’t keep monetising her audience.

Fucking hilarious.

🍷 it was a Hen Do and the usual thing to do as a Brit is to get shitfaced. lol sorry it’s just British things.

The Saturday night they had a few drinks courtesy of the investment banker in the note below, but these girls had smoothies and yoga and breath work and were worried about bad photos or giving off the wrong impression to their followers.

What are they, the QUEEN OF ENGLAND??

🏠 the villa they stayed in had 800 followers on IG at the start of the weekend. Today it has 2,500 because of their tags and content. Wild.

👰‍♂️ the bride spent the Sunday morning alone in her room drafting posts about the hen do weekend because she had a new deal starting on the Monday and she couldn’t overlap the hen do content with the sponsored content.

⛓️‍💥

To sum up. Would’ve been super interesting to be a fly on the wall over this weekend but influencing SUCKS.

The model is retardio and to succeed in the world of influencing, your mental health takes a big hit and you effectively HAVE to become an unbearable diva.

And yes bitcoin fixes a lot of this.

But Nostr fixes A LOT more.

Sure is 🤙

I’d like to openly say to the #Nostr community… I made the transition and I’m proud of it. I know identify as a #NostrianEconomist

I’m a ride or die kinda guy on Bitcoin and Nostr. I cannot picture my life not including these protocols in it daily. They are a life force and as Pablo says the energy is from the People who use it, and there are many. Onwards 🔥

My current setup is a little iffy, it shows some notifications of zap receipt but not all.

Not 100% sure why, but it’s something with my setup.

I saw a couple of 21 come in. So probably all good.

Oddly, I very rarely use them, so I hadn’t even noticed lol!

Got it!

Did you receive that Zap? 🤔

always helping with nostr and damus support! Appreciate you!

Let us know if you run into issues!

I don’t think it’s possible on iOS.

If your objective is to not be doxxed, download Damus + Lightning wallet of your choosing.

#asknostr for best Lightning solutions these change all the time, not 100% what’s the best option here.

Definitely mate. I’ll let you know next time I’m heading over.
