Best part about bitcoin going down is eth going down ever harder lol

I started playing some online chess recently. As a terrible chess player I was slaughtered in game after game, expectedly! The harder the challenge the more the allure.

One of my few wins was interesting (image above). I played as the white side and at this point in the game I had lost both my rooks and the opponent had a stronger piece lineup.

My strategy was to advance my Pawn from D6 to D7 and then the plan was to move my Bishop from F1 to H3, combining an attack together with my Queen placed at A4, toward his King. I was ready to sacrifice a few more pieces if nessary.

The idea played out well, perhaps due to my opponent being at a similar level as myself. I threatened his King and managed to take out both of his two Rooks, after which I could decimate his pieces step by step, with a couple of losses on my side.

This was a game that I thought I was on the verge of losing and it was stimulating to execute a comeback.

I didn't see any chess discussions here on Nostr, so here's an absolute noob posting, hoping to see interesting chess content from more advanced players.

Cheers!

If you zoom in you can see Carl.

The chart geniuses on Xitter are panicking and crying today.

Over this.

What's your daily driver in terms of nostr client(s)?

good morning 🌞

Nice! The only comment i’ve gotten on my honeybadger hat was, “is that a gryffindor hat?!” 😂

Cool photo! Enjoy the game ⚾️

And you know it’s about to rain in 5 minutes, right?

Same!! 👊🏼

I noticed I don't post on here half as much as the I do centralised algo apps. I couldn't figure out why.

And now I know why.. I pick my phone up, doom scroll, then 20/30 minutes later I'll put my phone down. Within about 30 seconds the centralised algo app will buzz me with a notification to say "You might like this from Karen"

So my stupid monkey brain is intrigued. Picks the phone up again (like it's a banana) and I'm not even interested in what Karen is doing. I notice 'Tony' has a new role at work and click on his page with my monkey paw. Then suddenly an hour has gone by. I notice an article, I'll read that. It was rubbish (most of the time) - I'm frustrated.

But keep going back.

And I've not even thought about Nostr once, even though I think I know it's value - it represents what i think i represent - freedom, self sovereignty, Bitcoin etc.

I'll sometimes even flick through the other centralised algo apps before I put my phone down and not once go through my Nostr feed, even though I love it.

The other apps are like crack (i imagine). But the crack is not even good. And I keep chasing the cheap dopamine hits from them. Like a social media junkie.

I've quit so many things before, like smoking and drinking. Toxic women. Shitcoins. Social Media is one thing I truly struggle with.

So I'm going to wein myself off it - one day at a time. I read somewhere that it takes 3 weeks to form a new habbit.

Or 21 days.

So here it goes #21daysOfNostr

Posting everyday. 🫡🧡
