What's so cool about this post is that I was lurking here for a few weeks before I posted. Then @🟠 isolabellart posted a painting that immediately resonated and I reached out purchase it. The people that organpilled me explained that bitcoin is money and I need to spend and replace. And I've heard @Jeff Booth say that multiple times as well. It was a significant amount of sats for me to get the painting, but it was a birthday present to myself for a milestone birthday that marked "before bitcoin/after bitcoin" as I'm relatively new to bitcoin. The process of it being sent from Europe to the U.S. was seamless, and his communication was great. Fast forward a few weeks and I was staying with my dad while he was undergoing some medical treatment. He slept a lot, so I'd sit on his back porch after some laptop work and scroll nostr. I found @npub1suft...lmh2 and loved him images. And then I read a post about value-for-value on his site. That immediately resonated. I wanted to buy one of his images, but I couldn't afford it - perhaps in the future. But soon after - or maybe the same day - he reposted one of your images. I spent time on your site - which is such a treat - and reached out. We connected, I sent the sats, and then you give me an extra image. I was so excited, and grateful, for that unexpected gift. I'm moving in a couple of weeks and the house will have several images from you that are #worththesats (and there is one from Jeppesenphotography that I want to get blow up too). Finally, I didn't realize you were the same person who had really thoughtful - and a bit edgy - notes on bitcoin. I was so pleased to know that the guy behind the camera is much, much further down the bitcoin rabbit hole than me. I love, "We can stay vigilante Bitcoin psychopaths and still tough some grass at the same time." I'm so glad we're in touch, and I can't wait to get the images on the walls before the end of the year. 🙏 👊 #bitcoin #circulareconomy #value4value #worththesats
