Does anyone know if there is a nostr client yet that imitates instagram?

Hey bitcoiners - is anyone out there looking to start picking up the guitar this year in 2023 but don't know where to even start?? Guitar is a complex instrument requiring individual technique in each hand plus coordination and finger strength and dexterity. It can be intimidating to get past the initial learning stages. I have been playing for nearly 10 years now, please feel free to reach out if you want to start learning, I can drop some pointers!!!! Would love to help bitcoiners broaden their experiences and learn new life skills

When you hold bitcoin in cold storage you aren't given new bitcoin. New bitcoin production is tied to energy use, computing power and time through the hashing and block reward process. When you hold staked Ethereum you are given new Ethereum as a reward. When you hold banked USD you are given new USD as a reward. See the connection??

It’s easy to forget how the value of the Nostr network grows at an exponential pace for each new user who joins

I am trying out iris.to right now. It is clean. Really nice user interface, feels like a smooth experience compared to the damus app. Next on my nostr journey is going to be to figure out how to set up zaps

I see critics on the bird app saying that bitcoiners escaping to Nostr will just find themselves in an even louder bitcoin-only echo chamber. Let’s prove him wrong. This is a challenge to my followers to add value to this growing network through more than just bitcoin talk. Create about what you know best or what you are passionate about, and hopefully we can help organically grow this network in a healthy way!

Do people realize that a 100% transition to Electric Vehicles will be severely limited by minerals production and mining? Mining experts predict a gap between projected demand and supply of 50 million tons between 2022 and 2030. This is significant. Bridging the gap will require extensive investment into this space, extensive geological exploration to find the next world class deposits, and massive expansion of university undergraduate training in geology, Geo engineering and mining engineering to work the jobs, never mind all of the tradesman, diamond drillers and support staff who make things happen.

If a bitcoiner isn’t on nostr, I have to assume he is pro-censorship

Nostr is such a meeting place for all ideas Bitcoin. What a great place to share ideas and knowledge

#Lithium, the Irreplaceable Mineral, a thread. Lithium is irreplaceable for the high-energy batteries that power electric vehicles. Lithium has a unique position on the periodic table, offering performance that cannot be replicated by other metals. Lithium's high energy density also means fewer cells and a smaller footprint, which translates to lower costs for both vehicle and grid applications. Lithium is essential for the energy transition. It is estimated that a #GreenEconomy with 100% #ElectricVehicle adoption would result in a 30x jump in lithium demand! As the demand continues to rise, will the world be able to provide the necessary supply of Lithium? Here are a few of the countries that are leading the charge 1. Chile Lithium reserves: 9,300,000 MT Chile was the second biggest producer of lithium in 2022 at 39,000 metric tons. Chile holds most of the world’s “economically extractable” lithium reserves, the Salar de Atacama hosts ~37 percent of the world’s lithium reserve base. 2. Australia Lithium reserves: 3,800,000 MT Australia was the largest lithium-producing country in the world in 2022, however it comes in at a distant second in terms of #Lithium reserves. The Greenbushes open pit mine has been producing lithium since 1985 3. Argentina Lithium reserves: 2,700,000 MT Argentina is the fourth largest lithium producer in the world, produced 6,200 MT in 2022. Chile, Argentina and Bolivia comprise the “Lithium Triangle,” which host more than half of the world’s lithium reserves. 4. China Lithium reserves: 2,000,000 MT China holds lithium reserves of 2,000,000 MT, and last year it produced 19,000 MT. China produces more than two-thirds of the world’s lithium-ion batteries and controls most of the world’s lithium-processing facilities.

Testing out my new wallet of satoshi lnbc1u1p3lzcgypp5nr9h4rxt6e7x75agzjt8klzpzt47xddlj3zvvaakt67za7hl5z0sdqu2askcmr9wssx7e3q2dshgmmndp5scqzpgxqyz5vqsp57202hs4c3te3chkec8zt4cvmet59g2rgfl6qxudu3pahv5gytzhs9qyyssq222qqkq76pf4zcem444hqmn75m06lc48rursxlu472leg37q742xfp4x9mre8dqfhwkcjxlqxpmd2ws5tq8semetcks07h3zfkqf5pgpgcxtyv

It’s so exciting that all of us have the opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a new social media network like this. The network effects of growing a small following on nostr in 2023 will hopefully grow to become huge a few years from now

Pura Vida and happy SATurday

Does anyone know how to load your private keys from Damus into astral.ninja on the web based nostr client? It will accept my key but doesn’t recognize my account and following

I’m still trying to figure out how zaps work… I guess they don’t work on Damus?

It’s going to be hard for #Bitcoin  to “go to zero” with the number of animals out there willing to buy every last one of the 21 million if the price were to drop to a cent - I know they’re out there

History shows it is not possible to insulate yourself from others holding money that is harder than yours

Technology is neutral - it can be used for the good and the bad. For every person sending illicit transactions there is a person using #bitcoin for good to escape authoritarianism

Are you feeling the squeeze of 10% inflation that we have felt over the last year? Consider the damage that is caused during hyperinflation events. Take a look at these numbers as a reminder: Venezuelan bolivar in 2018: 1,700,000 % inflation Zimbabwe’s peak month of inflation is estimated at 79.6 billion percent month-on-month. Or 89 sextillion% year on year in November 2008

I’m re-listening to Sapiens by Yuval Noah Hariri. Personally it’s one of my favourite non-bitcoin #bitcoin books!! What’s your favourite book that has nothing to do with bitcoin that has helped formed your understanding or helped you build a frame of reference to begin to understand why Bitcoin just works
