 One of my biggest "aha!" moments was realizing that #Nostr isn't just another social media platform. 

When I first installed @primal , it felt like #Twitter with a built-in wallet (which was already super cool). 

But then, when I imported my private key into @Highlighter and @damus  and saw my profile magically appear, it all clicked! 
In that moment, I understood—Nostr wasn't just a platform; it was something much bigger. Gosh the hours I spent on LinkedIn / IG / Facebook to create a profile and Bio all over again 😂🫣

Sometimes  you just have to dive in and experience it to really get it! Grateful for this patent community here who showed me step by step 🙏🤣💪🏻 
 Absolutely we have only scratched the surface. If that! This space will become the next version of the internet as we know it. Let's build #nostr #saludprotocol 🌐 #stopspof https://image.nostr.build/5e3dc0611cc2858a51b8aa6191731fd18dac8dbc3eeccc0a629cd902611e5177.jpg

 😆 right!! 
 Well said! 💪 
 Thank you 🙏 
 Protocol > Platform 
 Same exact thing for me... Tired of all these platforms asking for all sorts of verifications 
 It’s a major headache 
 🚀🧡💜 
 Love this 🧡 
 Nostr login should become the standard.

There’s payments built in, so the incentives are there from the business perspective. 
 Welcome to reality  
 And this is only just the beginning. The coolest stuff is still waiting to be invented. So much potential. 
 So many things still coming 
 It's initially mind-boggling that there are no servers. Just smart clients and dumb relays

You can use your keypair to sign an event in the client, and it's published to the relays

And, your identity and notes are perfectly portable between the smart clients

 Is there a YouTube channel or link to nostr how to videos? Need help figuring it all out and somewhere to send noobs. Ty #asknostr 
 Ask @Derek Ross sure he can help out! 🙏 
 I made a several YouTube shorts on explaining Nostr and a tutorial on how to use Nostr Nests, but you know what, we need more tutorials.

Jack also has a good video explaining why Nostr is important. https://youtu.be/t-40158eRqo

We need more tutorials though. 
 Magical is the same thought I had on entering keys into the second client. 
 Only one key for a whole communication weapon. Powerful. #nostr 
 Truly. You have to just dive into the thing that you know you should learn, even though you don’t understand it at that moment. Only then will things start to click 
 This was very satisfying 😄

 Beware of importing your private key everywhere, try to use tools like @Nsec.app  or @Alby to be able to connect without exposing your nsec

Anyway I wish you a happy journey through Nostr it’s truly amazing 
 Thanks for the tip 
 Thank you, yes that’s so true! 
 Grüße gehen nach crazy but cool 🐻lin 😄 
 New to Nostr, but followed. Loving Primal so far. 
 Mine was when not only did my profile load instantly into Primal but everyone I followed wasn’t instantly there as well. 
 Unfortunately we have to go wrong to realize to go right :) 
 How does highlighter work ? How do you post there ? …. I’m newbie here 🙃 
 Well amazing! I’m a newbie, too! I tried out @Highlighter last week also for the first time and simply signed in with my private key and BOOM my profile was there 😂 have you tried it out already? 
 Thanks for your reply. I imagined it had to be something like that, but I was not able to see where to sign in….. in my IPhone 🫣I see now in my laptop where to do it 🤓
I’ll keep learning. Happy to have found Nostr 
 So far all I can say is, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

 This is a terrific explanation…I had the same experience and “wow” moment 
 Yep I’m brand new but already more support and help from community and positive vibes than twitter or anywhere else, I like being invisible too 
 I’m new myself and the support here is absolutely amazing. They help you so much on onboarding and you can just ask questions here! 
 I know it’s been great, my issue I’m still having is I can’t follow anyone idk some kind of glitch going on 
 Holy crap I just saw jack Dorsey zapped you, nostr is dope
