Nostr = Economic signal (zaps) over virtue signal (likes).
Starting to spend more time on Nostr and less time on the other social media platforms.
Past: Trust but verify.
Future: Verify; don’t trust.
Meanwhile, Coinbase be like: that’ll be $200K. 😫
I’m surprised Trump didn’t mention blockchain voting during his speech at the Bitcoin convention in Nashville.

Now imagine if we could raise this much money that fast to help people rather than politicians. 🤔

Evolution of a Bitcoiner
Someone (insert friend, family member, unknown Reddit user) mentions Bitcoin to you.
You Google it.
You Google it some more.
You get in for number go up. You buy, you sell.
You start to think you’re a financial genius.
You dive down into the rabbit hole and discover alt coins (aka shit coins).
You start to think, “maybe I was too late for Bitcoin but not too late for the shit coin.
You buy (insert) shit coin.
You get rug pulled.
You become a Bitcoin maximalist (aka Bitcoin maxi).
Then you stumble across a podcast like nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um Robert Breedlove’s, “What is Money?”
Then you start to question fiat.
Next you start to question your own money.
You buy and hold.
Then you read “The Bitcoin Standard” by Saifedean Ammous (nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak)
You buy and hold some more.
You experience your first Bitcoin crash.
You panic and sell some but keep some.
You read a mainstream article about how Bitcoin is a scam. They quote Warren Buffett and Jaime Dimon.
You start to question your financial choices.
The custodial company where you hold your Bitcoin fails. You lose your Bitcoin.
You start to learn about the importance of cold wallets and self custody.
You buy a cold wallet.
Either it doesn’t work or you can’t figure it out.
You attempt to send your Bitcoin to the cold wallet. It doesn’t arrive. You refresh. It’s not there. You refresh. It’s not there. “WTF, happened! Where’s my Bitcoin?” You panic. 45 minutes later it arrives. You’re relieved.
You start to dollar cost average (DCA).
You become obsessive learning more about Bitcoin.
You find a video of some “kid” in his closet, wearing a hoodie talking about how he created an app, Strike, to use Bitcoin for cross border payments. “Who is this kid?” Oh, it’s nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle and he’s actually 30 years old (2024). Damn.”
You start to learn about the other uses and importance of Bitcoin other than number go up.
Remittences, options for the unbanked, obfuscating oppressive governments, fiscal responsibility, preventing wars…
Your eyes are opening. This isn’t just about getting rich and driving lambos.
You find another video of a skinny, crew cut dude with a beard, looks kinda hippish, borderline homeless, wearing a satoshi shirt, speaking in a dark room to about 10 people about the “real importance” of Bitcoin (mentioned above). “Hole shit! Is that Jack Dorsey, the Twitter guy?” nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
You buy more.
You start talking to your friends, family, and co-workers about Bitcoin. They look at you like your crazy.
You find video of Michael Saylor. nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m You’re confused. “WTF is this guy talking about?” You’re not sure but Google his name and see that he went to MIT and is a billionaire. “I think I’ll listen to this guy.”
You find more videos. But these have more deeper meaning. “Deflation is the natural state of a free market.” It’s some soft spoken guy that you’ve never seen before. You discover nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe. Then it all hits you. Now you get it.
You buy and hold more.
You start thinking in Bitcoin terms rather than dollars.
Then you start to sell other assets (stocks, real estate, gold) and just invest in Bitcoin. “There is no second best” as you remember Saylor say.
Life becomes simpler. You continue to work at your job because you’re not rich like many OG Bitcoiners. But you save what you can and buy what Bitcoin you can. You work, you buy BTC, you work, you buy.
And you think, “what if…”
Bitcoin IS hope.

A down to earth, simple video presentation that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m gave on #bitcoin.
Them: But I don’t understand #bitcoin; it too complicated.
Me: 🤦🏻♂️
