As much as I love the nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x concept, in that it's a solution to a problem I have as a content creator, it literally never loads... (mobile or desktop)

Could this be because I am sitting in Australia?

I pay less and less attention to what seems more and more obviously central bank funded propaganda

BUT

Just in case you're wondering, our cost of capital overlords here in Australia are happy

They can use their own incentive-missaligned statistics to tell us how happy we should be that "price pressure" is easing

"The headline inflation rate fell to 2.8 per cent in the third quarter of the year, a 3.5-year low"

Remember: this is compounding, plus excludes most of the things you actually want to buy

Every asset you own must be measured in purchasing power, not your local fiat currency

Miss this step

And you have no idea what your wealth even is

True.

With a crucial next step: sit, contemplate, and be grateful for the version of your reality that you created

Which is a step I often totally ignore

I was recently told "we create our own reality" by a friend

A few short years ago I would have scoffed at this kind of idea

Now I couldn't believe more in its truth

Indeed. Hence the importance of solving the right problem for the right person

“Make your life resplendent with the constant awareness of death”

Impactful Samurai philosophy that I was taught today

Which is exactly the moment one should actually do something!

I am not an actor right now. But even if I was, the key is that I couldn't be cancelled

Ideally one does something like that everyday I totally agree

Next time someone asks "what is Bitcoin?", ask them if they have 15 mins...

Life would have gotten worse for sure

The u-turn away from nihilism is very real

Thank god for Bitcoin

I have a few very close family and friends that work in the charity sector

Weirdly I find it very hard to get them interested in Bitcoin

They prefer to get hand outs from Governments and trust institutions like the UN, before questioning the money, and considering Bitcoin

One day there will be a avalanche of mission-driven talent adopting Bitcoin to help the causes they've worked on for so long

What I find so hard about this is how much I have to unlearn to realise what you're talking about

Fiat startup culture is fascinating, compelling, alluring, and a place I spent many years

But it's also hard, exhausting, anxiety inducing, and only possible with fiat money, a set of facts I can only see in hindsight

Who would have thought that aiming to create profitable businesses was such a crazy thought!

Interesting observation, I hadn't tracked that engagement metric

Given the UX of Nostr as it is, plus the sunk cost fallacy of incumbents, I am not all that surprised it's a slow burn

The key is that it exists

And that it's slowly but surely getting more powerful

That's something I can really get behind

A gradual approach to capital creation

My wife just had our 3rd

Congrats and good luck

Best thing ever

It's hard to ignore, it has huge ramifications , but I can't help but feel more and more indifferent

Blue, red, left, right, it's all the same BS. The tale of the hydra is so apt in this instance

Until Bitcoin is taken seriously, it's impossible to see anything but the continued path of more debt, increased inequality, unaccountability of leaders, huge waste, forever wars, and censorship

The word that resonated most there was "conformity"

It's just so boring isn't it???

You just want to shout at them: "COME ON GUYS HAVE A CRACK AT SOMETHING"

But actually breaking "conformity" is anxiety inducing, scary, and most definitely to be avoided

For sure. But they'll only come for the right reasons...

Thanks for sharing

Build this & they will come...

Been ideating the last couple of hours... How could you build this with Nostr-first approach now?

I think the hardest part is "reach"

Maybe you could do something very unscalable at the start, but simply cross-post to all legacy platforms physically

But one day maybe that would become a "Buffer for Nostr" ie a scheduling tool that automatically published all across the internet
