Friendly reminder that you’re currently dying and this moment is the youngest you’ll ever be and your inevitable death is rapidly approaching and you’re likely stuck in a midlife delusion where you think what you’re doing is important and integral and it’s likely something that you’ll look back on at the end of your life and feel was ultimately pointless and wasted time and you’ll want it back and wish you weren’t so delusional in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s because now that you’re old the pain of regret is crushing you like a boulder on your chest and you find yourself unable to move from under it. Omg you wasted all your time and there’s no going backwards. The delusion is gone, all you can do is sit in the regret. Why didn’t you say what you really thought? Why didn’t you do what you wanted to do? Whose life were you living? Why did you let them convince you to live it? How could you have been so misguided and delusional? How could you have been such a coward? but then you realize you’re on nostr and you’re still youngish and there’s still time and you just suddenly WAKE UP.

Never going to see BTC below $17,700 again

Somebody please check on Tim pool, I fear his beanie may be on too tight and it’s cutting off circulation to his brain. 😂

If nostr were the answer, people like me would be building on it.

Ask yourselves who the builders are that aren't choosing nostr, and why.

Then ask yourselves what all the people building here have in common.

Then compare these groups earnestly. I dont just mean Bitcoiners vs Bluehairsky. I mean their experience, talent, and reputation.

I mean the most talented and resourceful people; people that innovate, and have deep expertise. Why aren't they leaving where they are to build here?

Examples: Bitcoin Core devs, shitcoin expert devs that really do want to fix things, talented cryptographers, deeply experienced systems/p2p people, experienced entrepreneurs, reputable VCs and funders.

The closest I see here are people that got Bitcoin-rich and are now learning how to be angels by naively funding their friends and dead-end startup projects that arent much better than weekend hackathon submissions. A sandbox for playing.

Everything worth anything here is a subdivision of Bitcoin culture itself and Bitcoin privilege. Bitcoin is the only provider of talent and resources to Nostr. That worked great to bootstrap from nothing, but now what?

Deal with this, and figure out how to be relevant to other people, or Nostr will continue to be nothing more than a perpetual hackathon sandbox subsidized by a Bitcoiner ego-cult.

Nothing more pure than kids living it up on the beach.
