GM nostr. Last day in #Athens. Off to the island of Evia near the town of #Eretria.

GM Nostr, from #athens!

Just flew internationallly yesterday... Been a few years since i last did that. The amount of #bluelight beaming down from literally everywhere around me was appalling. 9 hour flight, no espace, no sleep. I wonder how much this contributes to jet lag and cirdadian rhythm upset. Time to get me some solid sun shine

Thank you for all the warm welcomes and zaps on the introduction! Truly feels different here.

Well its about time I do my formal Nostr #introductions ... I like it here. Its beaming with optimism, hope, strong values and a general vibe of genuine excitement! Such a breathe of fresh air. I haven't had any form of social media for years. Over the years I started to despise it. Too many idiots, too many controlled narratives, Orwellian censorship, and optics/lies spun by state and corporate backed sponsors... Big tech, big pharma, big government and big lies. It was just depressing... I grew sick of the doom and gloom the algorithm would feed you, the ethos of the mob and the lack of like minded folk. I had to leave due to the inverted, upside down world promoted on their as "the norm". Now, I'm excited about technology and computing again for the first time in over 7 years because of decentralised technologies like #bitcoin and nostr. I've taken privacy into my own hands over the years. I'm running a degoogled phone (e/OS/), haven't had a Twitter account in over 5 years and a Facebook account in even longer. I never tried other social media platforms. Last year, I finally made my life 100% free of google (okay, I still have a YouTube account if I'm honest! But its isolated on an account with zero personal info) and looking to divorce myself from Microsoft and windows very soon as a next big goal for controlling my online identity and data. Obviously I'm a bitcoiner! My career up to this point has been in Game Development with a background in computer science. I am now an aspiring homesteader. Self sufficiency, community and a nexus of clean food, #beef, water and a pristine piece of wild nature for my children to learn and grow from within is what I am striving for. I am a proud father and happily married to an incredible wife. I live on the beautiful west coast of #canada. Some people say covid broke my brain. Fuck'em, I was on this path in life long before that horrible catastrophe on the human mind, soul and heart took place. I want to leave behind a legacy for my family in the form of honest labour invested into the land. So that no matter what, my family has a refuge to feel safe and call home. A haven of abundance! I want to pass on knowing my children had the most freedom I could award them through their own nurtured self worth, skills and education. I believe in freedom through responsibility, honesty, loyalty, freedom of expression, a right to privacy and a strong importance of morals rooted in family, lineage and community. I first entered into the world of bitcoin in 2020 and have continued to #stacksats since! More importantly I'm most excited about continuing the journey here on Nostr as I learn more about the protocol and its underlying technology. Luck comes from working hard and showing up. My success in life is a testament to that as someone who started from nothing. On a more light hearted note. I love #hockey, #camping, a good comedy and I'm an aspiring #hunter. I look forward to connecting as I sharing my journey, experience, knowledge and self sufficient accomplishments here on Nostr as content. Praise the earthly Mother, honour thy holy Father. Big thanks to @Jor host over at 88satsradio for turning me on to Nostr. Its been quite a refreshing, uplifting ride thus far.

Happy New Year Nostr! Stay focused, stay humble, stack those sats and never forget to remain young at heart! 2025 is going to be incredible! Wishing you all a prosperous year ahead!

What's nostr's opinion taking on fiat debt for bitcoin investment? #asknostr

just finished this The bitcoin podcast with Andy Yen from Protonmail. big believer in what they are doing over there. Using email as a wallet address seems pretty genuine as a means to garner wider bitcoin adoption. Andy goes into depth on the privacy and KYC concerns over their wallet approach in the podcast.

doesn't look like I can use wallet of satoshi to zap within the Primal client but I can in Amethyst. can anyone confirm this? I'm not looking to open a dedicated wallet within Primal with KYC info which is unfortunate because I am enjoying this client a lot. time to explore Amethyst more #primal #amethyst

Just accepted my first #bitcoinwell wishing well toss on my first time newly created lightning wallet! Pretty nifty. Here's to a better future! #stacksats

put a lightning address in my profile just now. How can I confirm its working? Primal is telling me I need to enable its wallet still when I hit the zap button. can someone zap me? :D

what coin join services do fellow bitcoiners use? privacy and security is paramount. I'm looking to privatize my btc purchased on KYC exchanges #asknostr

#asknostr - what's the best hot wallet to setup for sat zaps on primal and amethyst and other nostr apps? I'm looking at wallet of satoshi.
