🚨 TLDR: Swifties deserve Bitcoin too. This will sound odd coming from a guy with a punk rock background, but hear me out. 🚨 “Broken Money” by @Lyn Alden is huge with finance nerds, but money affects everyone. The problem? It’s long and can be intimidating if you’re not into economics. Like, I wish my girlfriend would read it, but she’s more into Taylor Swift content than finance interviews with people like @preston, @less, and the like. And I bet you know a #Swiftie who feels the same. So, how do we get music lovers to care about money matters? Imagine Taylor Swift breaking down the financial system in a way her fans get (and no, this isn't about politics). Over the next few weeks, I’ll be translating “Broken Money” using the universal language of music—specifically in #Swiftie speak. Why Taylor? Because music unites like nothing else, and she’s the biggest artist on the planet. Does this mean I’m a Swiftie? No. Do I like some of her songs? Sure. The point is, if her fans start to get what us Bitcoiners are about, this could be huge. I’ll summarize each chapter in easy-to-grasp Notes, old-school thread style for those who aren’t into reading novels (like this post 😅). I need your help: Share these notes with music lovers (including non-Swifties), especially if you have a big following. Even a simple screenshot can go a long way. This is an experiment, and my stuff won’t be perfect, but maybe it’ll be enough to get some Swifties interested in the world of money and Bitcoin. Let’s make this happen! Last but not least, if you or someone you know gets hooked, I encourage you to check out Lyn’s book here: Now let’s get out there and bridge the gap between music and money! #money #brokenmoney #music #bitcoin #taylorwift #technology #swifties #introductions #art #finance #nostrmusic #plebs #hodl

I came across some cool #nostr #statistics today. as of today, there appears to be ~1.8M users on nostr. interestingly, there are 39M public keys. some of you guys must have a lot of identities! Even more interesting? 19.88 total #bitcoins have been zapped, representing over $1.1M USD, with each zap averaging 554 #sats, or approximately $0.32. Notes written seem to outnumber reactions by 2.7x, which is to say I hope people can be as generous with their reactions as they are with their willingness to write. I haven't been much of a poster in my past social media life, but nostr makes me want to engage more with you awesome people and that is what I plan to do. image

last time i had this feeling was when btc was on its way down from $69k to $20k. when it went to $16k, i felt a sense of doom like many probably do now (especially first cyclers or those who have significant skin in the game for the first time). it had crossed below the previous ATH and my mental model was pinning btc going to $5k. it made for poor mental health, but it did not change my willingness to ride the thing to zero. what i should have done then instead was go deeper and harder than ever. this is a good time for everyone to revisit this sweet vid from @HODL . ingest it. share it. spread the Positive Mental Attitude (or PMA as popularized by hardcore icons Bad Brains in their song ‘Attitude’; check out their music). if you’re not being laughed at by no-coiner friends right now, you’re not stacking (or Hodl’ing) hard enough. have a good weekend everyone.
