I have just noticed the significance amount of storage space that Damus takes. Does anyone know what kind of documents and data the client stores in the phone? The app’s size is only 13.5 MB, yet documents and data is 2.3 GB. I have only been using the app for a few weeks.

I am reading bitcoin and money related content and books like THERE IS NO TOMORROW. I need to start stacking sats 3 hours ago.

From The Ethics of Money Production. I will bring it up at the dinner table during Christmas when the family teams up against me after, once again, feeling the urge to voice my views on health and nutrition, and their current state under government/ mainstream advice 😂

Incredible the amount of unrelated individuals working in the background to make #nostr and clients better. Seeing updates everyday, new features, and just fellas running their own services for the benefit of all.

I keep reading that even after 10+ years later, those of us who are just entering the world of bitcoin are early / on time. At times, judging by the myriad of resources available in the form of bogs, podcasts, books, interviews, etc, I feel like it is the opposite. It feels like I am late, and that I am playing catch-up! However, I want to and like to trust those who would say I am on time. I like to stay optimistic. For the moment, waiting to get The Bitcoin Standard, The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, and Ethics of Money Production delivered.

Could someone send a small zap to test my wallet? As little as 1 sat will do. #nostr #grownostr #plebchain #bitcoin

Right… I have some questions about relays: do I have the ability to choose to read from a relay, to write to it, or both? And if so, how do I do this? Does the selection of either of the three scenarios mentioned above happen automatically when I connect to a given relay? #nostr #grownostr

I am beyond fascinated with Nostr protocol and Bitcoin. I cannot stop learning about it. I have discovered so much in the past three days and found it so easy that I am compelled to take action immediately. At the same time, I am conscious that I may be being naive or oversimplifying things and that triggers an internal warning. It tells me to exercise caution. That feeling gets amplified not only because I am new to this world, but also don’t come from a technical background (tech / software/ etc). I guess I need to learn the “don’t trust, verify” concept more in depth and start applying it. But I want to get hands on as soon as possible.

Last week I started learning about Nostr and using different clients. To be honest, even more so that the decentralized nature of the protocol and all the other benefits / characteristics, the one that attracted me the most was the absence of an algorithm and advertisements. In such a short of time, I am experiencing first hand the difference in energy, mental sharpness, focus, and even mood vs. using mainstream social media platforms. It is true that big platforms drain your energy, both mental and physical, drive people into negativity spirals, outrage and polarization. Quite the opposite of this and Bitcoin’s community, which prioritizes, encourages to drive your attention, energy, and time towards productive purposes, growth, the “proper” ways. I read recently that Bitcoin changes you and I believe it. New mental paradigms, more responsibility and accountability. It feels more natural, more true, more beautiful, more satisfactory. I am looking forward to becoming increasingly orange-pilled. Thought of the day.

Extremely digestible and fun to read for absolute newbies like me. I feel like, for pre-coiners, bitcoin can be a daunting topic that can be easily ignored and put aside for later due to the “novelty”, complexity (?)), etc. This book is great for giving you context and overall knowledge about bitcoin, so that you can understand what is going on next time you read that note, blog post, etc. Thank you very much for writing the book in a way that has made me enthusiastic about the topic and eager to learn all about it.
