The excitement of finally 'unlocking' Nostr for myself is the frustration that I will successfully convince zero IRL friends to do the same. This is an artist's colony at the current time.

Found my way to Nostr once or twice, got confused, dropped it. Pursued self-sovereignty in silence for months, then finally achieved that noderunner status (full + lnd). Nostr makes so much sense as a fun use case for a personal lightning node. I know there are those that want Nostr to succeed with less friction for the lamen user, but at least for me? It wasn't until I was very, very deep into the rabbit hole that I began to care. #introductions #noderunner

Frens with 3D print farms in their basements make Toxic Bitcoin Maxi life easier 😼

#asknostr If you're running your own node, what kind?

Incorrectly entering the passcode into your Ledger for the last time to wipe the device after you moved your #bitcoin to a more secure cold wallet:

Still finding it miraculous that Nostr zaps are ending up in the lightning wallet on the node sitting on my wall. And I made that happen.

GM NOSTR (am I doing this right?)

TOXIC MAXI TIP: finish the conversation about #bitcoin at the function with "but I'm a financial radical" so they stop looking at you like this

Even though I'm down the #bitcoin rabbit hole, I still think John "Jack" Bogle is a G.

Barely awake PST Nostriches reading all the GM posts from EST Nostriches (I haven't had my coffee yet)

The sudden sense of digital proximity via Nostr to all of the youtubers/podcasters/builders that contributed to my bitcoin journey has sent me on a pilgrimage of sorts, zapping sats to all my favorites as thanks. Self custody felt a lot lonelier until I got here.

Me smash buying micro purchases of #bitcoin and sending each individually to my Ledger (wtf is a UTXO)

TFW your fiat bank deposit finally goes through and the fresh, crispy sats are ready for transfer to cold storage (might as well call you Hans since you just exchanged paper for the hardest currency in existence) HO-HO-HO 🎅

You hyped as hell on your little mental health walkie after watching @Jeff Booth tell some Youtuber how we're living in the first truly free market that the world has ever seen.

Literally me quitting the fiat mine tomorrow after receiving a 21 sat Lightning payment on Nostr and 'realizing my career is building our bitcoin future' the bitcoin future'

Pretty right, @Coinkite ?

Turns out #bitcoin is deeper than I anticipated 😅

#asknostr When I synced my node things slowed down considerably as I got further in - is it the UTXOs count upticking or is it the number of transactions per block? Elaborate plz.

"Bitcoin fixes that"
