Apparently bear markets are when devs get on social media and put each other on blast every day. While I'd like to hold on to the mentality of "get over yourselves", I'm starting to grow into the mentality that we're all here for this exact reason. Hold each other accountable in all aspects of life. Ethics should always be in question. Don't trust, verify. #riseandgrind #grownostr #plebchain #coffeechain

How much self hosting do my fellow nostriches do? I find myself spinning up more and more micro services in an attempt to liberate myself from the walled gardens our dystopian overlords have built. How common is that behavior among you folks? #asknostr

How much attention do you node runners pay to your infrastructure? Bitcoin nodes, on nodes, nostr nodes, tor nodes, any node runners out there. #asknostr

I've put in 80-100 hour weeks educating myself and and trying and failing and trying and failing some more. Today I finished building out my own cloud management platform and PaaS on top of that. It's been rough, and the thought of quitting and taking a simpler approach crossed my mind more than once. But the feeling I got watching everything come up successfully today made every headache, late night and missed gym session worth it. If there's something you want, set your sights on whatever that is and pour every ounce of heart and soul you have into it, you won't regret it!

I became invested in Bitcoin because banks are fraudulent. All custodial services eventually become corrupt. The idea that once the network reaches a certain capacity, individuals will begin being onboarded without owning their own utxo's. Not by choice but because it would cost more to open a channel than the value they're trying to add to that channel. The entire premise of Bitcoin is taking control back from these institutions, dispersed among individuals. It's already enough of a road block for most people to have to run their own node. Add to that the channel structure and the fees associated with opening those channels and now there's no longer a road block, but an entire bridge missing. Exclusivity will not breed adoption. The lightning network in its current state does not lend itself to inclusivity. We can and need to do better if we expect this network to work. https://image.nostr.build/7ee7e30f8b8a6a2bcb70bf12d2263f543f851f0db7b74287548adc29e23954ad.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=800x800&blurhash=UHGk%3Az9FMb%25g0KxutSR%25Mb-%3BxvV%3F_NngD%25t8&x=bc4e54717a9fa457608078a48c2a2703cda00c48a63ed8a395aecc6d4b760a8b
