True or false: most people on nostr are over 30, and many over 40.

It better this way. Image if all of twitter and TikTok was using nostr. I love it here in the intelligent echo chamber.
True. This was the year I turned 60. My wife turns 60 next year. We are both on Nostr, but I'm obsessed with it.
It seems to me the conventional wisdom is that Bitcoiners trend younger than average, and that Nostr (so far) are by far disproportionately a subset of Bitcoiners. However, it would make sense to me that that subset is disproportionately those of us who have been hungry for the cypherpunk movement to finally take off and go mainstream since like the 90s. (i.e. we're old).
Any of your buddies down the btc\Nostr rabbit hole? My crew still thinks I've lost my mind, but some in the 40s crew of my circle are in.

Here are the young people, below 25… Anybody else?
I’m not, haha. I just discovered Bitcoin too late and now I’m trying to accumulate as many sats as I can. I missed the chance to stack thousands, hundreds, or even tens... but maybe I can get a few units. Nostr makes that possible, while still working within the fiat system. I think Nostr has HUGE potential, and it’s been amazing to be part of this. It was an incredible find!
It's never to late to start stacking sats. And it's always to early to stop stacking them. As long as one has fiat income, the best thing one can do is convert it to sats to save and spend.
What's truly @Fascinating is the amount of time you have in front of you to stack sats, spend sats, and watch what the future of Bitcoin and Nostr is going to be. I'm so freaking envious...
There's no such thing as being late to Bitcoin but there is such a thing as being late to protecting yourself from inflation. You are early, appreciation will continue.
Time is the only thing scarcer than Bitcoin, and 16 years have already passed. I arrived late, man. The chance to have thousands, hundreds, or even tens of Bitcoin is long gone. That’s now for the big players—and many of them will probably end up being dispossessed since most are buying through ETFs. The reality is harsh, but it’s the truth. Even so, I’m grateful to God and to all the plebs who create free content about Bitcoin. Thanks to them, I managed to get here in time to hop on the lifeboat.
You're 19 dude, you're early to life. As long as you learn how to Save, & Invest you'll be just fine. Avoid debt, focus on self-growth, and development, growth takes time but the earlier you start the better. Focus on eating healthier, exercising, building an emergency savings fund, putting your money into assets that appreciate overtime, and not spending more than you earn, as long as you focus on consistency, you will improve. Also yes, buy Bitcoin.
I wish I had discovered Bitcoin at 19 – it would have made the shift in thinking much easier. As Morpheus says in The Matrix: "We have a rule: We never free a mind once it has reached a certain age. It's too dangerous."
