I don’t post much. I usually don’t have much to say. But tonight is different. I have to say how cool and empowering #bitcoin, #nostr, and these tools of the future are.
Today I purchased #coffee from nostr:npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj using nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm's tools self hosted through nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll.
Thanks to nostr:npub1jcympy69pht7ptan39se4nd09e4q66qhey649uu3rczm2zh88c7s0n2890 and hopefully some cool swag for a gift, my wife had to have bitcoin to make her purchase. She ran into some trouble unfortunately with her typical way to get some bitcoin. This caused her to try 2-3 different things. She learned so much and asked so many questions. So forcing someone to purchase using bitcoin furthered her down her journey, neat way of doing it.
Lastly, listening to a podcast on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 earlier I thought I should comment on how slick the UX was. When getting my wife set up with an Alby Go connection to our node, she sees a zap come through on my wallet (from nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 no less). I comment about how wild the world is that a guy not real tech-y is getting sats for his feedback straight from the developer.
And here I am trying to put into words my excitement about the future on a platform like nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 . I am sure the people who do the work on these tools don’t get to hear thank you enough, but thank you! What a powerful day in my journey!
