For newcomers: NOSTR is a protocol like Farcaster. You have login details (keys like username and password) usable across multiple apps and clients. It runs on private servers, with no company behind it, making it uncensorable. If one server goes down, another remains active.

What is the easiest way to ramp up on lightning? Possibly via a DEX?

I am extremely frustrated by the EU, UK, and Irish regulators. With the exception for UK, and maybe Ireland, that's all what we export. Regulations. The path is clear: KYC for every Social Media. As long as Nostr and Farcaster exist (sorry but we need all the options) I am fine.

Hey everyone, Luke here! First encountered Bitcoin back in 2010 when colleagues mined it on clunky old PCs. Dismissed it as a scam and ignored it for years. Until 2020, when it crashed to $7K. Dipped my toes in it, bought some sats, and dove into Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum’s smart contracts. That’s when I started collecting digital art. Fast forward five years, collaborating with artists and galleries. And I’m on Nostr, hooked on decentralization, innovation, and supporting artists thriving in a medium built for their generation. Still haven’t set up that Bitcoin full node, though—working on it!
