Hi. Names Billy. I’m a 40 year old ex-front end developer now trying to teach myself how to draw and paint to start a new career as an artist. I have my Bitcoin, my dog, and my wife and just hoping I’ll keep most of my teeth before the fiat apocalypse. Broke and happy and better than being a fiat slave.
Proud of you buddy
Let me know if you have any specific questions about keeping or replacing your teeth
Im Vic, aka Vicarious Drama, or Victor. I've been using nostr for about a year. My main activities are software development and Im the primary contributor for Corny Chat, Nodeyez, and Boost Zapper bot. Outside of computer stuff, I like hiking, cycling, karaoke, and sometimes play or DM Dungeons & Dragons.
Sup Vic. I havent played dnd in years. How come there isnt a standing game on nostr? world continues to evolve, parties and their deities (DM) come and go etc? Idle thought
I thought you were joking when you said your name was Victor in cornychat the other night. Now I can't stop imagining you as Viktor Krum from the Harry Potter books/movies.
Hah. I wish it was a k. Beautiful letter.
I mean, you could sign it with a k.
And if it makes you feel any better, my name is technically a boy name. And I don't mean Rupert. Lol.
What up, I’m Noshole and I love chaos.

I'm Nosnevets. Apparently I post too much music🤷🏽 I live my life with 4 rules: 1. You do you because Imma do me 🤷🏽 2. Fuck around and find out because I ain't no bitch. 3. I'll try anything twice because the first time I might've not been in the right mood or really know what I was getting myself into. 4. When people tell me I'll regret that in the morning I politely scream into their face I SLEEP TILL NOON I'm an absurdist, an anarchist, a weirdo, a Filmmaker, artist, moustachioed movie encyclopedia, Jedi Viking, space cowboy, airship pirate, sexy magickian. I'm single but mustache rides ain't free🤷🏽🖤🤍
Space Cowboy sounds intriguing 🤔 https://youtu.be/XbOVvXmYWyI?si=Xqfj2H-fzS_6EksG
I'm Entropy, been hanging out here since last August. Decided to start fresh and ditch the name/pfp I used when I was on BT. I write fiction as a hobby. Bitcoin saved my marriage by rewiring my brain into longer time horizons and showing up for myself and my relationships. I'm left of the bell curve about technology, and am generally into prepping and gun culture although you would not at all assume that if you met me on the street. I think there's enough people fighting for a better world that I no longer despair about the future.
Awesome. I got my B.A. in creative writing, but write mostly non-fiction these days. Do you publish on nostr or participate in any writer's workshops?
Publication would mean finishing a story 😂 I've been working on two on and off for 20 years. Probably won't be able to finish them until I am able to escape the fiat job. I'm not in any workshops but I'm not opposed to them. Last time I participated in that kind of thing was in college.
Start writing short short stories. 100 words or less.
Dude, if they are any good, finishing them can mean NOT being a fiat wage slave. I'm... Pretty serious about getting my book published so I can stop working for other people and dedicate my time to writing more and building my home in the mountains.
I want to read it! I also write
I don't have anything fit for consumption... yet anyway. What do you write?
We need to start a writer's community or something. Ready doesn't mean too much. I've released 160 pages of my first novel to readers mostly from nostr. I was nervous but it was one of the better decisions I've made lately.
I'm gonna read it I swear 🫡

#Bitcoin is an actionable Schelling point for optimists, savers, technologists, realists, truth-seekers, low time-preference actors and builders of all types. This Network has literally saved millions of humans from Nihilism, poverty and despair in the age of fiat. Likely billions more will find salvation of some kind through Bitcoin in the future. It’s a non-supernatural miracle.

Yo. I’m J.P.F.R.O.G. I’m a humble pleb and customer service serf tasked with running an EMR cash register while toiling away in the neo-feudalistic wasteland that is modern healthcare…in between clicks I’m allowed to help patients. 🤙

Yep; Jerk Pansy Fool Retard Old Gross Medical Doc
Not picking on you Marie but I take highly on your compliments to @jpfrogmd ! He sets a high standard for the rest of us. I am still working on jerk and gross.
You’re in the right hands with frog, he will most certainly get you there of being a great jerk and gross! 😂💜
The fool is proved every time he argues with marie
That’s not arguing…..this is how she flirts.

Pics or you don’t have them 😜
I’ll send you a pic when they get here. I don’t see those pants on you?
Who says they’re not on me in this pic?
Called this back on the virgin plane
🤣
Who's arguing? I definitely have different views and opinions than Marie's but diversity is good! Not to be confused with "diVeRsiTy". Also it isn't about our differences but what we have in common... ☺️ ... #bitcoin
I actually adore my frog friend, we love to have banter here and we muck around pretending we don’t like each other but we’re actually good frens!

Hi I’m Hodl. I’m a guy who does things.
Sounds good. I’m Peter and I’ve been living/working in Shanghai since 1995. Ask me anything 😀
What do you find so compelling about China that you would stay there for so long? Genuinely curious, relocating to a different country isn't something I would ever consider, so it would be interesting to hear more.
Well, it was a series of events that led to to stay for so long in Shanghai. You know, life. Can share though that when I arrived something just clicked. Recall my father saying when I was young that in life you have two homes. The one you were born into and the one you make. Shanghai, for me, was the latter. As for what keeps me here, well that would just be the environment. China is honestly a meritocracy in terms of what you put in you get out. And I’ll stress, #China is far more than what is contained in the headlines. I actually agree with nearly all the critiques leveled against China. It is also true, however, that those critiques are woefully incomplete. Not sure if I’ve answered your question.
You did! Thanks for sharing. I know the view from outside is incomplete... That's true of anywhere. I just find it interesting to hear about choices like yours because it's so far afield from what I would be comfortable with. Cheers 💜
Well then, let me provide more specificity. Was working on Wall Street in the early 90s and hated my job. #China was just coming into the zeitgeist and I detested the idea of having to get my MBA. Knew that labor is a commodity so decided instead to begin learning Mandarin. After years of studying my teacher mentioned that there were a ton of English teaching gigs and asked if I would be interested. Being young and having zero responsibilities I said “absolutely”. Was meant to be an 18 month contract. It was but I stayed and began working for different American companies which needed a local rep. Zero regrets.
Rumor has it that you are also a guy who has 6.15 #Bitcoin.
Hi I'm Uno and I'm building Pleb.lol and I'm a degenerate.
Hi my name is Jay. I'm also sleepy 😪😴 GN
Ok now that I'm not sleepy, my name is Jay and my handle is WiseHODL. I'm a software engineer for work, and I used to be a control systems engineer for power plants. At my old job, I spent a lot of time hacking a certain proprietary, legacy control system to make my regular job a bit easier. I came up with a lot of ideas for things we could develop to make things bit less hellish. But I didn't have the time, so after a big project I was working on finished, I felt I had peaked as a controls engineer and quit to try and write code for a living. But what do you know, all that hacking paid off because another team at the company still wanted me to develop the things I wanted to make, but never had time to do. So for the past few years I've been working as a contractor for my old employer building the applications I would have wanted when I was there. I'm a huge bitcoiner, and I first bought by FOMOing in during the 2019 pump. I immediately took a huge loss and traded my cost basis down about 20%. Then it crashed even more but I kept my hands off. I spent that time trading to learn why I shouldn't try and trade and just hold instead. The bull run in 2020-21 was a big reason why I quit my job because I suddenly had the savings to do it. Holding Bitcoin has changed the way I view everything because of the lowered time preference. I take my time about everything now, and it's nice. Besides hodling Bitcoin, I practice American Kempo Karate, I study and live the Bhagavad Gita, I like to cook, work out, game, read, learn, do tarot readings etc. I used to have severe depression out of college, but after a lot of self reflection and work on myself, I pulled out of it. I dislike drama and gossip, and I prefer to be alone a lot of the time. Nostr turned me into an emoji maxi 🙏💪🫂🫡🤙👌😁🧡 I could go on and on about myself, but I feel like I've written enough, lol. Anyway, it's nice to introduce myself, Sleepy and everyone else 🫂
Hello, I am Wetoshi. Software engineer, Bitcoiner and aspiring musician. 👋

I work in finance and most enjoy time with family, skiing, reading, learning about Bitcoin, and gardening. Have hazelnuts, lots of herbs, and elderberries pretty well established and trying to get some dwarf fruit trees in old Jack Daniel’s barrels going this year as my big 2024 project.
I have crippling depression. 😁
Yaaaay!🎉
You and I brother, you and I.
I had severe depression for a long time. You'll find your way 🫂
Awww you're all too sweet. 🥰
I'm on a long journey trying to find out who I am.
Hi, I’m Florian! I love to make stuff: software, woodworking, photos, cooking... I have a hard time saying no thats why I am also preoccupied with other stuff that I don’t love.
I'm obsessed with sports and trying my best to force this normie subject in Nostr
#NFL is my sport ball of choice. Since I found bitcoin I really can’t handle the low intelligence media on it. I watch all games but Super Bowl on mute. I feel I observe much more of what’s happening by just focusing on the sight sense. Also think I can see the game unfolding more slowly 🤷♂️
Hello, I'm Ronin, I'm a software developer mostly in the .Net stack. I like football (soccer), music mostly metal/rock and movies.
hi ronin Swinging a hatori to hanzo 😒
Hi there colleague 👋 I didn't find many .net developers here.
Hi! Yeah not a trendy stack I guess, even less on open source projects. Good to see another .net dev. Followed!
Unfortunately though... I'm a great fan of .Net. Even though it's a Microsoft product 😂
Yeah me too, love my c# and VS studio and Code. A lot of trending languages out there its just hype.
Hi! I’m Farfallica, I am originally from Brazil but currently living in Toronto-Ontario. I love learning new things and got interested in bitcoin because of Nostr. I’m a tarot reader and a teacher. My favourite hobbies are travelling,cooking and photographing. My favourite sport is swimming and I am addicted to chocolate. 😃 I love my nostr friends.
So you never used bitcoin before learning about nostr? That's really cool.
Hi I’m Luke, I mine fiat with a truck and cardboard boxes during the day, play paintball once every couple years, and co-host an obnoxious podcast with some dudes
Hey Luke. What's the podcast about?
A lot of different stuff, we usually start out with current events in the news and then depending on which of the 3-5 of us are on for the Those 3 Dudes podcast we have our own segments… Alec or Chris usually talk firearms, Dave talks historical events or people, John is original from Australia so he gives us Americans information about people, places, culture, and things from down under, and I usually talk farming, gardening, and self sufficiency… and all of us are libertarian or anarchist so we usually put freedom and liberty on our spin of commentary

Hello, I'm Brunswick. I know everything that is cool and I've seen God face to face. I am doing my best to repopulate the west, but I'm afraid 8 is all I can do.
I'm very curious to hear about your meeting if you'd be comfortable sharing the story. Also congratulations on the big family. That's a true blessing.
Woke up early this morning and remembered something about red, blue and green stones in the throne room of God. I had a dream a few years ago where I was standing in front of God on a highly polished white marble floor. It was so highly polished that it reflected. It reflected so clearly you didn't even want to stand on it and leave your footprints. The floor was also somewhat transparent, you could see beneath it. Far below the floor was the lake of fire and the bottomless pit with many petrified souls in the lake. The room above spanned further than you could see in three directions, behind me was a white wall with a door. The floor transitioned to stair-steps up, about three that also stretched to the left and right further than you can see. With the door behind me a few steps, there in front of me about 20 feet, is God sitting on his legs on the second step looking in my direction somewhat over my head. Surrounding him are silk pillows with gold fringes, each pillow was one of deep red, royal blue, or emerald green. In front of him, at his knees and resting on the first step are a stack of about 7 books. The books were for me to take and were there to answer questions about what I should do in my life at the time. They were a selection of books that I had on my shelf in my office. I could recognize two of them from their bindings, one was a dummies' book. God motioned with his right arm to sit next to him on the pillows, but I refused thinking I wasn't worthy. I then moved to take the books and go back to the physical world, but then I was filled with fear that these books might not be for me. God laughed at my piousness, and I immediately woke up. Today when I woke up, I began to re-read Revelation, chapters 1 through 3. Never before did those books make sense to me, that our standard for perfection is so high, even as Christians. Then I read chapter 4, where John is brought to the throne room of God. He says in front of God's throne is a "sea of glass like crystal." John says "He that sat was to look upon like a Jasper (deep blue) and a sardine stone (blood red), and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald (green)." If I know anything about biblical translations, its that its often twisted, with improper linking of nouns and verbs. Particularly in important verses. Knowing what I saw in this dream, Rev 4 makes much more sense. So you're wondering what God looked like. I believe this image is likely a reflection of something written in my genes and it may be different for everyone. Is what I saw absolutely what God looks like? Likely not, and it was apparent that the purpose of the dream wasn't to show me exactly what God looks like. What I saw was a person who seemed to be about 10ft tall, similar in shape to my biological father. His face was aged, but without wrinkles. At first glance you might guess him to be a very healthy 70 years old. He was dressed in a thin linen robe (light taupe fibers), sleeves to the elbows. He wore it somewhat open at the chest, a large and strong looking chest like an athlete. He had long white wavy hair to his neck and a long light gray curly beard, no wider than his face, down to his belly. He sat in complete stillness and appeared to be comfortable kneeling on the hard surface. His expression conveyed a strength from authority, but kindness and fatherly love.
This is something I wrote about a year ago
Thank you for sharing that! Did the dream result in a measurable a shift in your life?
People always ask me that. Its revelation, knowledge I couldn't have on my own accord. It explains everything. How could it not effect the way I see the world? Mind you, I still get caught up in the zeitgeist and endure all the evil in the world, but its calming to know His is help within reach if only we allow it.
Hi everyone! I’m a professional musician and instrument maker that’s been deep in the bitcoin rabbit hole for going on 7 years. Thankful for all I’ve learned from fellow bitcoiners and enjoy connecting with other artists and creatives.
hello my name is Samuel I live in Amsterdam ny I'm a solarpunk bitcoiner and bitcoin is my number 1 but I also like digibyte as well. I like to travel to different bitcoin only events around the world or nostr events around the world #btc #dgb #⚡️ https://m.primal.net/HezF.jpg

Hi, I'm a Lizard. I used to watch sports ball and play video games. Now I run a Lightning node, exercise, and eat a low carb diet. I guess you could say I'm a cliché Bitcoiner.
I’m a people person who pretty much keeps to himself. My purpose in life is to love everybody I meet. (Hey … why tf not?) Problem is, most people are so caught up fighting with or blindly following some other people that they don’t know anymore how to love or be loved. This is why I keep to myself. It’s just easier than being misunderstood. But I will never give up loving. One person at a time. Until my last breath. Corny. But true. I am a bit corny. 💜
I enjoy CrossFit, bitcoin, learning new things, my family and friends!
Hi, names Sillyboi. I like willfully giving away information about myself on an open protocol so profiles can be compiled based off my history. Looking for a new friends, maybe foreign government intelligence or maybe even a domestic intelligence service if you’re cute enough. Just generally want someone to know me better than I know myself, and to predict my actions using artificial intelligence. Hell if we really hit it off you might be able to use the data you compile to create actionable plans to manipulate me 🤷♂️

Hi Ser Sleepy! I'll gladly introduce myself, since too many people assume I'm a guy. Maybe it's the love for booze, scifi, hard rock or that I say fuck a lot, maybe the shitposting.🤷🏻♀️😁 I'm a stay-at-home mummy raising two boys. We've been locked with babies without family or friends in foreign country for all the covid era, I managed to develop fantastic anxieties and pretty strong ancap-anarchy opinions. Nostr is my exclusive social media thing, my biggest hobby is learning to act in heavy metal operas in Prague, in a few years I hope we get to nomading or at least small farm. Because fuck this toxic system, I didn't sign for this current shit and won't comply. Nice to meet you.☺️

Hi I’m Marks and I make this weekly freedom tech podcast https://fountain.fm/show/jCajOVJfkIXAkAyqvmW6
Hi this is KlikSynK, I just live by my own rules. Although I listen to what people have to say and respect their opinion, it doesn’t mean I agree or follow the same path. I always go my own way although it might be stubborn, but at least when a mistake is made I can blame myself and carry on instead of blaming someone I followed. I work when I want and how I want, take holidays or breaks when I want, say whatever I want and wake up whenever I want in the morning (oops last one is not entirely true, my dog decides that for me lol) Anyway, what I try to say is live your own life people don’t follow anybody because they say it is the best way and think for yourself.

Hi ser. Im in Chinada and am an individual freedom maximalist. Anti-statist. Office chameleon by day, hobbyist coder and student of the dark arts by night. Always humbly studying and improving knowledge wet privacy and opsec. Growing interest in cybersecurity. Psychonautics disciple and partaker of herb. Coffee addict. Books and podcasts about philosophy, economics, tech and politics. Music enjoyer. I think it's one of the few truly divine and transcendental things in life. Nothing beats listening to a soon-to-be-favorite banger the first time, when your mind follows the sound waves uncertain what it'll hear next. Love all kinds of music, but these days I'm a whore for synthwave, folk & power metal, orchestral. Standup comedy respecter. Fastest way to bore me is to lack a sense of humor.

When I get a minute for myself, I like to watch anime, go bowling, try new recipes and home DIY projects, make art / music, hike through the woods, cosplay / model, play videogames and read fiction.

I’m Force2B and I believe that the universe owes you nothing and neither does anyone else. If you truly want something you must learn to provide it from scratch for yourself and the ones you love.

Also I’m and ex-Civil Engineer, I love: Bitcoin, proof-of-work, math, gardening, and the little moments throughout the day where you fall in love with a stranger because you see them do a selfless act and they didn’t know you were looking. Also a big fan of whiskey.

Hi question for you: can you tell me all the time units that are recorded with the security of proof of work on the #timechain?
What do you mean? There are block heights and UNIX timestamps (seconds) in blockchain data, but it has nothing to do with proof of work itself, which is just doing double SHA256 hashes over any data.
Hello, the proof of work sets a certain pace in the TIMECHAIN and this timechain therefore has a smallest time unit of 1 single block. But there are multiple time schedules present in the timechain. most notably the halving schedule that recently happened. And also the difficulty adjustment. Do you know of any other time schedule that is coded in the timechain? Because that itself can be refferred to as a timeunit on the timechain. Like we have days and months, we got blocks and halvings and etc.
Hello Kristaps. One of my favorite Christopher names. Wish it was more common because it has more swagger than the others. Nice to meet you
Hi I'm Sir Lemongrab. I was going to say just another normal guy but I'm a Bitcoin Maxi so I guess I'm not. Live in Canada, only one I know thats into Bitcoin. Loving Nostr and really just using it to have my ear close to the ground to this beautiful community. Loving Cashu at the moment
Heyho! Ingwie here. I am a hobby developer, work an IT job that kills both neurons and synapses to an astounding extend and play games when I am off the clock. Well, not that many since my time is limited. Genshin is a constant though; but anything in the JRPG space is right up my alley. I am almost blind - so, turn-based things are neat. :) Ohyeah, only my left eye barely works, right one is useless. o.o Nice to meet ya! ^_^
Howdy, I made some stuff like "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" at https://hive.blog/@crrdlx/satoshi (which I'm currently reworking into the Third Edition due to the new Satoshi emails that were released last week during the COPA trial) and the Sayoshi Bitcoin Converter app athttps://SatoshibitcoinConverter.com
Hey, it's Ryan. I like turtles 🐢 I love Mosha 🐶💜 https://i.nostr.build/QWLK.jpg
Hi I’m Mark. I like #bitcoin #nostr memes and shitposting. Recently started using nests and cornychat to play music. Other stuff includes tortoises x8 cats x3 and dogs x3 #Penisbutter OG 🍆🧈 GM and GN #zaps LFG https://image.nostr.build/8f2ea86a50553ed322d50f56cddfe56ec02f23538c4cdc578193a6a3a5665999.jpg
Hi, I'm Nela, and I'm between 25 and 60 years old, German (+Senegalese, Swedish, Balkan ..) live in Berlin + in the process of moving to Costa Rica. I've known about Bitcoin since 2019, experienced my own personal use case, I've gone down the rabbit hole (the most interesting symptom of Bitcoinism), and I've come out the other side enlightened, a bit confused but reformed. Over the past year, I've battled my inner toad (ribbit ribbit no no ), experienced and processed the most absurd things, and finally ended up where I always wanted to be: on the way. For me, the journey is the goal, walk the path consciously and the result will be just right. On my to-do list for 2024: to be more conscious of my energy and traumawork. (I feel you @HODL , thanks for your honesty.) Learned film production and content creation with a focus on photography ( have a look at some scetches on my profile + some photos I took during Nostrica 2023 .) I developed the confidence to share my visions with the world and soon start with my #NelaBags I hope you like them.. and buy them.:) Nostr is my only social media. I have made my points of critique…and celebrate all the new applications on this protocol and around Bitcoin. Thanks to you ppl, for your friendly persistence, forbearance and generosity. .
N'hésitez pas Nela à partager avec moi si vous le souhaitez votre projet sur le CR, puisque j'ai aussi un projet à mettre en place depuis 1 an, puis très curieuse du fait que vous ayiez mis sénégalais dans votre bio . Bonne après-midi 🫂
Hi. I'm The Beave. I'm an exceptionally good metal fabricator, fixer of things, explorer of system efficiency, and a fairly cunning linguist who hopes to escape wage slavery through fiction. BTC is my future value store, but I think monero is a better way to spend in this increasingly intrusive surveillance state. Typical anti-state veteran. Mostly part of the "leave me the *<" ( alone unless you bring beef, bacon, tea, rum or whiskey" crew. All taxation is theft. All of the state is violence. All human interactions should be individual and consentual. NO KING BUT CHRIST!!! I listen to music from roughly before 1947, trash EDM, and Weird Al. I have read, traveled, and built more than most but none of that matters all that much. I'm still a pale shadow of what I should have been. Seeking a woman to bear my children and help build a cozy, efficient house and turn it into a home filled with good food and laughter. I hate coding, but have to learn a bit. Linux, de-googled android, gets pissy about having to use windows at work. Lives in a trailer trailer and, surprisingly, absolutely loves it, though wishes for more storage space.
Hi, I’m other Barry. I like getting people to do pushups with me and eating steak. I also make memes and like guns. Dislikes: the state. being told what to do.

Hey, @sersleepy, very thoughtful... You're gonna be a busy guy just reading this thread!😃 I'm a data omnivore, autodidact, polymath, interested in everything, who knows (in my 70's) that I've barely scratched the surface of what I need and want to know.🤔 I delight in getting to know and learn from almost everyone I encounter, and enjoy exploring mutual interests.🫂 I write prolifically on many factual and fictional topics, and I'm jealous of antediluvian man, who got to live almost 1,000 years.😯 https://peakd.com/a/@creatr/b

Hi Im Bird A 40 year old pleb dad from Denmark. I build scenography for museums, operas, ballets and theater as a fiat income. On top of that I work as a volunteer on the best music festival in the world - Roskilde Festival - the Orange feeling. And I am now also a little bit involved in building a Danish bitcoin community. Would love to meet some of the peeps here irl someday.

Hey ya’ll! I’m Lauren. I’m a southerner adventuring the north and playing in snow. During the day I lead people to break mental barriers and crush their goals. I love Bitcoin, to garden, coffee, play music, adventure, watch anything on ancient civilizations, follow intuition, and love on animals. I don’t believe in strangers, just frens I haven’t met yet. 😁
Hello, I‘m Luna. I’m a mom and I come from Germany. In my fiat job I work in a theater. I love to write and of course to read ☺️ whenever I can, I travel. I love my freedom and my family. Bitcoin means many things to me: future, freedom, peace
Hallo liebe Luna Nice to meet you 🤗 sending you peaceful greetings to you 🌼🌞
Hi Essencial 🫂 🙏🏼☺️ Greetings back 🥰 I hope you have a great Sunday
Thank you 💝 I’m enjoying sun in my wintergarden, where it gets up to 30° C in winter 😅it’s a blessing, as I’m a “Sonnenanbeterin” 💛
I'm Adam -- gamer, reader, techie, father, husband, pet owner. Addicted to coffee, learning to garden. I'm working through a not-small amount of fiat debt, while still trying to save up sats when I can.
Why is gamer the first word on your list?
If you're asking why it's before the father/husband stuff, it's because I started listing interests first then shifted. If you're asking why it's before reading and techie, just luck of the draw.

Stupid question: people and stuff to do in Phoenix are always great when I have visited , what do you think of the heat and long term water supply?
It’s always been hot. Will always be hot. I’ve done all the weather except hurricanes 🌀 and it’s sure better than snow. As for the water supply, I don’t know enough about the issue to comment on it.
I love my family, I have a small homestead, I work in medicine, I struggle with tech, I enjoy the outdoors, my dog is better than yours, I like birds, I hunt fish and shoot when I have time, I procrastinate
Why is your dog better than mine? Mine is a Professor S? Is yours! Okay. I’ll quit being SASSY 💁🏻♀️
No mine is not some snotty academic. Geez get with the times. Mine is a small bear dog that is a great family dog.
He’s a snaauzzer who constantly destroys inferiors … naysayers and well … … interferes with my meditations 🧘🏻♀️ He’ll hound out loud whenever he wants. Not a scapegoat … Nor does he mind being loved 🥰 Judgemental AF crow. Guess that’s why you all come as a group as murders… 🤣

Wonderful idea. We are a travel-happy German couple with our own blog “to the moon” or in short 21hemoon.com 🤗 Adventure, Sports and Travel rock our world. From Heli boarding in Usbekistan 🇺🇿 to Beaching in the Philippines 🇵🇭 we are game. If there is an orange community along the way, we sure as hell will pay a visit, as done with @bitcoinekasi and #boracay #bitcoinisland Apparently #nostr is very much Bitcoiner turf but we sure hope all people love to travel.
I greet you 👀 My name is Gowron and for reasons I will not disclose I find myself on your world learning what it means to be in the here and now. Luckily, we all find ourselves and eachother at one of the most interesting and exciting times in Human history. Like many of you who have also had similar realizations, much of what I know, or thought I knew, no longer applies; but I'm leaning that it is the differences between us that teach us the most valuable lessons. Q'apla!

Hi I'm fightlessbirds, a pleb from Canada eh. I like finding and creating novelty because I think it's our purpose. I also like seeing people grow and succeed. I often express a lot of righteous anger at the BS I witness in the world, but do my best not to let that anger become my identity.
hello all. my nym and handle are electricity puns. I work in manufacturing, which is rewarding because I like to make stuff. I make things as a hobby as well. I've showcased a few of them on my profile, but should share more. I love my wife and children and spend as much free time as I can with them. I hope that saving in bitcoin allows me to spend more time with them in the future. This morning I saw a hair disappear into my cup of milk, but I kept drinking it. The hair ended up stuck to the bottom of the cup, so that was a small win.
Hi all, I'm a Canadian Bitcoiner, Linux enthusiast, open source fan, diy doer, farm fresh meat consumer, unpasteurized milk drinker, and very likely a good bit autistic. I love going down multi-topic rabbit holes! Adapter, migrate or suffer. There are no other choices. Cheers, gm and PV!
which rabbit holes?
Some topics that have grabbed my attention are autophagy, arc welding, cyclonic filtration, 'biblically accurate' angels, and fundamental and harmonic resonant frequencies.
I’m Steven. Currently learning how to code. I love to learn new things. Martial Artist. Veteran. Nostr Only 🫡
What programming languages are you starting with?
It’s been a few years since I was on JavaScript so giving myself a complete refresher then jumping back into it
Good choice, when I started out teaching myself I started with python, but things didn't start to click until I jumped into JavaScript and was able to see the changes I made immediately appear in the browser. Super helpful getting quick feedback loops with js. It also gives you the ability to write backend code as well. Good choice, and good luck on your learning journey, very difficult but extremely rewarding.

Hello all, I'm currently transitioning to decentralized Nostr media…it’s quite a process for me... I'm passionate about health, veganism, nature, spirituality, meaningful conversations, and cooking nutritious meals and live to inspire others to take responsibility of their own health. Considering starting a health-focused live stream on Nostr and eager to connect with fellow vegans on Nostr for shared values of freedom and compassion for both people and animals 💜

Okay, okay, I'll play along...my name is Rupert...sorta. I don't like following trends. I'm reluctant to the end. I don't mind change, but only if it's slow. I may be a little stuck in my ways. Oh, I'm a mom. It's kinda obvious when you start talking to me sometimes. It's very obvious when you're my friend because I'll start worrying about you like you're mine. Um, I think I'm funny. Not everyone gets it but that's okay. I'm super Cajun and can cook really well but I hate doing it so you have to make me like you so I'll do it for you.
You are smart and funny. Always happy to see you on cornychat.com
Shucks, Frank. Thanks. 💚💚
Hi I am "Intuitive" (lol).. I come from italy but also Croatian half blood. I am a weird guy with many different interests from sports to tech, economy, art, nature and weird thing in general. I always found myself on the counter narrative, on the opposite side of the majority, probably cause I am an introvert and love to observe and analyse from distance. Discovered Bitcoin in late 2020, understood there is no second best in late 2021. Discovered Nostr in December '22, understood there is no second best after a week. So glad to be here with all of you.. Oh something you don't know.. when I finished high scholl I started for some time video editing and finished working for a local tv company for News.. there I understood MSM is completely fucked. Anyway this under here is my first absolute try to do a video editing using random video I liked at the time.. (almost 16yrs ago) https://v.nostr.build/A4kM.mp4 #growNostr #plebchain #introduction

Cool initiative. I was a semi-mindless vessel until about 2.5 years ago when I discovered bitcoin. I have grown a vast amount since then and dived into several rabbit holes. I'm an amateur musician, mostly meditative, ambient, psychedelic stuff (Stackinbeets & Esuna on wavlake) As for meaningful things besides bitcoin, I would recommend the following to people, if they are interested in extremely deep content that absolutely changed my perception: Book: Lila by Robert Pirsig Games: The Talos Principle 1 & 2, Disco Elysium, Nier Automata
Hey anyone whoever's gonna read it..i am new here..not sure how this works...i like economics , learning crypto ....lets talk and see where it goes...
Hi all, I am a dutch female video artist. I design show visuals, projections and immersive experiences from a studio in an old fortress in Holland. My friend @bitpopart introduced me to Nostr a couple of days ago, so I am a major noob to this. Let's connect!
very cool where can we see your work?
Hey, @LotteZJettyKiz, Big welcome to nostr.🙏🏻😄💜🫂💖🔥😆💯👍 Your friend did you a real solid getting you going here. Things are still a bit rough around the edges, but if you are patient, I know you will find nostr very rewarding. 😄 I'm glad you're here.🙏🏻🫂😄👍
Thank you, Duncan. For now it feels like a warm bath. Thank you for welcoming me to the space
Hi Lotte! Hope you enjoy your time here and looking forward to your posts!
Thank you, nice to meet you
Hi I am Colin , also known as „Lord of the Glen Colin“. Hero of the interplanetary federation. My jurney started as curious watcher of the movement from the beginning. I ever thought its a trick from central bankers to keep economy running with cheap fake money without causing inflation. Also thats why I missed because I own enough shit and there is only shit to buy except one is super rich and can afford made things from scratch. I did not believe that setting this goal should be necessary. Since 3 years I regret my decission not to put every cent in a transparent ecosystem. Mostly I live from ramen but recently I was able to gift me some new underwear. Which already starts to dissolve itself like the most shit a normal person is able to buy. I drink only distilled Water, care for Nattokinase and Lithium Chloride consumption. Try to live as natural as possible Earthships architecture is a big inspiration for me and a civilisation with future. At the moment I see change which is urgent necessary, but I also see in general 2 forces good and evil. The good needs the evil and opposite. The masses are charged by either side to feel relieve if the other is taking over but in the end noone makes rules the right way because it would make both parties obsolete. Ongoing poisoning of the planet will never stop, but the good side is trying to prolong the extinction of all life on earth so that the bad side can continue making profit. In a healthy mindset in a healthy society for what would we need gouvernments, transhumanism, currency ?
interested in human history, religion, philosophy and many others ... deep convo is my shit, banter is great between friends...love to help any Bitcoiner (yea im tribal 😉)
I am a Maflingo. I hang out in my Kajoozie.
It's about time I come clean. I'm actually Craig Wright. And I started Nostr. And I have a patent on the code, so you're all a bunch of lawbreakers using my platform without permission. See you in court.

I’m rudy nutstink, I am QA Engineer in the bitcoin space. I found both bitcoin and Jesus around the same time of my life and each have had major impacts on every aspect of my life. I believe in proof-of-work in everything I do, and never take anything for granted. My most recent rabbit hole has been homelabbing and home networking exploration. Hoping to round out my technical skills to become a better engineer and team member to the company I am with. Just bought a home and so the next project is self hosted home defense system 😎

Personally I always have trouble writing introductions. There isn't much to say about me, I'm not an interesting person. Italian, born in 1996, interested in computer science (and with a CS background). Interested in Nostr, the technical aspects and the freedom it provides. I'd like to see more content which isn't monothematic (Bitcoin being what currently prevails).
What type of content do you want to see? #grownostr can be a good way to find new content. I follow hashtags for topics I'm interested in, like permaculture. If you can't find content you like, create it. I think you may get good interaction from people even if they aren't creating new posts in whatever topic. I have many interests, so you will likely hit one of them. You are an interesting person, don't fool yourself into thinking you are not. I'll follow you and look forward to some good conversations.
Thank you. I've raised the same issue on Reddit and got roughly the same response: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/1av6krh/people_to_follow/ Personally, practically anything other than Bitcoin. It's not just that I don't find money (as a topic) sufficiently interesting, but also that having one predominant topic hampers adoption. That'd be true for any other topic, if it were the predominant one and to the same extent. A platform which is mostly about gardening, or mostly about Spiderman, or mostly about any other one topic would also fail to be an alternative to mainstream social media and would struggle to get widespread adoption. I think mainstream platforms used to get this right, in the sense that they provided a feed most people were willing to waste their time on. Now it may no longer be the case to the same extent, but they have a large enough userbase and rely on the network effect. Nostr doesn't.
That is a good point. I tried out gab and thought this could turn into something good, but it was mostly trashing left wing politics. While I enjoy a good meme trashing any political party, I didn't find anything too useful there. I didn't find any conversations about solutions, or any respectful discussion I have not convinced any of my friends into joining nostr. I know only one of them is into bitcoin, so maybe that plays a role here. I had a hard time convincing them to join signal for messaging. I do think many people are pushed away from nostr by 'toxic' bitcoiners. Maybe the 'we're going to topple the government by using bitcoin' is just too obsurd or extreme to many. Or the propaganda that bitcoin is used by terrorists (only because it is useful, lol)
I have a very strongly negative opinion of Gab because it's promoted as a free speech platform (which is something I would like, if it were), but it's not. A platform which does appear to have genuine permissive policies is Minds, which I do use (although somewhat sporadically). Minds used to integrate with Nostr, too, and also contributed to it, but now the Nostr integration is mostly broken. I don't think arguments for joining Nostr should revolve around Bitcoin. They are different technologies with very different ideas behind them. They do share some technical detail they wouldn't even *need* to share in theory, but the kind of decentralization they provide (full consensus vs no consensus) is almost opposite and the purpose (currency vs social networking) quite different. It is perfectly consistent to be very interested in one but not the other or even to think one is a great idea and the other a terrible idea. In both directions. I do not hold the opinion that bitcoiners or, for that matter, users of any other cryptocurrency, are "toxic". All kinds of currencies are the reasons for many to behave in bad ways and of course Bitcoin is no exception. On Nostr that leads to spam, for instance, but I think this might be manageable. In the case of Nostr, I don't think it is, by itself, an instrument against *government* censorship. But government censorship isn't the only kind of censorship and it may not even be the one that concerns me the most. Corporate censorship leads to platforms removing things arbitrarily and having the right to do so, because they own the servers and they aren't even meant to serve us to begin with, just the investors. I see Nostr as a potential solution against corporate censorship. And I don't think only certain topics deserve protection against censorship because it can be, and in fact it often is, extremely arbitrary and unreasonable. And even if it weren't in practice (which it is), it'd be bad on a matter of principle and also dangerous to give corporations this much power. For me it's not about "toppling the government", whatever that would mean, but rather reaching other people, and having them reach me. It's about social networking without interference.
I launched my first website when I was 11 years old. Web development was the most accessible path for me to learn software development, and I still love the web for its openness and freedom. I have always been interested in consequential software and the link between the digital and physical worlds and I believe that Satoshi discovered it with the first widely adopted application of proof-of-work (bitcoin). I am currently researching proof-of-work for other purposes, most notably cyberspace, which is a protocol built on nostr for a truly consequential finite digital space based on proof-of-work that overlays on top of reality as a superset of geospatial coordinate systems. I think there is a lot of research to be done in this area and I think it all compliments bitcoin and an energy-maximalist society rather than competing with it. I found nostr.md in 2021 when I was researching lightning and found @fiatjaf 's github. I was immediately hooked. I made my first permanent pubkey in Feb 2022, which I burned a while later for this current one. In my free time I like to go to Mass, shoot guns, play and code video games, write sci-fi, and hang out with friends.
Hey 👋🏽 I’m Lotta!! I’m a bubbly and ambitious person that loves openly, honestly, and genuinely. I’m fairly open minded and enjoy being positive. I’m always dancing, laughing, and chatting. I love #bitcoin and #nostr for what it does for the world’s ethos. I’m happy to help anyone however I can!! It’s my absolute pleasure to meet you, love you, uplift you, and be a friend. 🫶🏽🫂🌻💜🧡💜🧡
Hi, in IRL I’m a senior exec in the fiat financial sector. My only acts of defiance in this rigged system are putting all my savings in bitcoin and keeping my mind free, and trying to instil same to my family. Always been a lurker, not a poster or even a reply guy, until I discovered nostr.
Hi Nostr frens, I’m Phil from Australia. I am a network engineer in the telecommunications industry although have previously worked in systems and software development roles. I first came across Nostr on 24/12/2022 and stayed for the amazing bunch of people I found on here! It has been an interesting journey learning more about Bitcoin and Lightning on here. I have a wide range of interests, basically anything tech related, decentralization, photography & art, health, food, etc.
I wander through this world remaining relatively obscure.

Is this the most replied and longest tread on Nostr?
nah not even close, the most recent longest one I remember is this one by @VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY nostr:note1sgp5detucyf9z63486xauevfl3xtawe8yvepthsjr6zds4nst7xss8s4zs
Name is Chad, I'm in Seattle, I'm exploring this new nostrverse with hope and delight. Willing to dive in and participate, just might need help with some of the technical details. Not all, I've been working with and around computers since 1975 at the age of 6, but I'm not a high technomage, just a dabbler.
I think it was 1975 ( I was in high school) when I first got to do something with a computer. Our trig teacher could call a computer at McDonnell - Douglas and you put the receiver in a cradle and someone would start typing the program. Computers were in climate controlled, air filtered rooms. Now we have more powerful ones in our pocket. Amazing!
Something I wrote that might be fun to share: https://primal.net/e/note1cfs0judv8p3quujzrsmnc8ekr7g3q2rv5w0awxys2urrexg4aprsujjw9w

Hello, I’m an engineer working to integrate Bitcoin’s Proof of Work mining into as many aspects of society as possible. From heating homes, hot tubs, hot water tanks, and any other use case that requires low grade heat, to monetizing the production of stranded energy. Producing and harnessing energy is the key to human flourishing. Bitcoin and thermodynamics are the tools we need to make the world a better place.
Exciting, keep us posted

Hello, I am Frantisek from 🇨🇿 Czech republic. I got into Bitcoin in March 2021 when it finally “clicked” and I FOMO’d in pretty quickly. From March 2022 I have a sidehustle as a copywriter for the oldest czech exchange @Směnárna Simplecoin but I come mainly from a “legacy finance” - insurance to be specific. Now, since I have a foot in the door, I now focus my energy to be able to work in Bitcoin space full time.
I'm from the Pacific Northwest. I love dancing, growing my own food, geeking out, helping small businesses, hiking/foraging, helping people achieve their dreams, adventure, recognizing the divinity of reality, and learning. I have been referred to as an encyclopedia by some friends.
In the PNW too. 🫡
I'm a 48 year old former software developer, I did work remotely for 19 years and I did used to it. To find new remote job is not easy for me because my CV is not including new tech. Anyway, I am linux user for 20+ years. Selfhosting several services including IoT and home automation on home server. I am using Bitcoin from summer 2020 but most intensive last half year while I did start run bitcoin node. Plan is to run LN node but it taking a time because before I run something on server I like to understand how it works ;-) Maybe, one day I will also host my own nostr relay. In free time I ride MTB bike, taking photos or trying to inspire kids with something but that is not easy ;-)
Wassup !? What is considered old tech? You’ll find lots of Linux tech junkies here

Hey Stephen, I used to lindy hop. Fun times and fun people
Hello, that’s wonderful! It really is a great time 🤙
Met some cool people and it was great showing up to abandoned churches even community centers with everyone there to have a great time. Highly recommend for young men to even learn the basics. Go to the dances and improve dancing and a safer place to build up social skills. No one is a stranger at those events, only prospective dance partners
@450f1fea here... adding my share of 1000 cuts to Fiat (not the car maker), simply because we háve to. Starting several Nostr enabled initiatives for that purpose, like #WeThePeople envisioning a better judiciary by normal people to neutralize Fiat-driven types "just doing their job" but clearly hurting others. Spotlight them, push them into their limbic brain, and the fiat pyramid weakens and the world starts healing. Another upcoming initiative will organise writers, like @Luna , @Duncan Cary Palmer, @Entropy, @arkinox, @₿logging₿itcoin, @The Beave and many others for future scenario development, looking ahead 20, 50 and 100 years through Nostr binoculars and give a middle finger to Harari and combat the 100 year plan (=>genocide) laid out for normal people. This requires the imagination of writers. The R0ckef3llers and their cronies do it, so why reinvent the wheel? Just use identical methods. These and future initiatives build on the anonymity and censorship-resistant features of Nostr.
hola hola! i’m zoé (so-eh) and i’m so excited to be part of a community of peers. i write poetry and hope my substack will grow (once i start it lol). i’m from méxico but live in the us, and work as a teacher. i love going on rants about neuroplasticity and how important it is for people to move forward w their lives. hmm i’m just getting started, but i love life so far.
Hey, I make commercials for TV (Lighting, cinematography and VFX artist). I also love photographing nature (profile pic is Southern Boobook Owl). New to nostr and new to twitter really...haven't had a socials account for a few years now which makes business and socialising difficult. Bitcoin changed my life in such an awesome way - bought at the top and never looked back. Thanks for posting this note!
I'm Jode an automation engineer by day , right behind #nostr and #bitcoin - recently divorced & happy to be rid of the ex. Really miss the kids, dog and home though. Work away alot , saving for a rainy day 🫡 🥩🧘🏽🏕️🧡
Hi I'm Corbin. I like hiking and music. Passionate about bitcoin. I'm hopeful that some new technologies will bring new possibilities of freedom for all. With #nostr and #bitcoin being critical, I think the "boxable" portable houses, the toilet jack shared that requires no plumbing, cyber truck (because of its new tech and advanced mobile home like capabilities), starlink, drones including a mini cyberkopter. These technolgies will only progress. For me its easy to see the potential for these technologies. Of course bitcoin is the paramount breakthrough that enables all of this. Combined with the human rights imparitives for every person on Earth I believe bitcoin is the most important thing in the world. The offgrid independent mining possibilies... drive to a waterfall, mine bitcoin with it, extra energy from solar panels, mine bitcoin 🤔... if you built a camp fire would it be worth capturing heat for energy to mine bitcoin? Will that be a thing? with bitcoin small scale energy inferstructure is economically feasable and even profitable. Hopeful for the future of humanity.
Degenerate old man rotting almost as fast as the depopulated of Japan. All that I can claim in my life is my family, my bitcoin and a handful of unique experiences. But if you are in Western Japan I am always welcome to accommodate you, so we can spread our conspiracies and virus ways of thinking.
I am a nerd who enjoys learning. I have always enjoyed digging into conspiracies, but thought there was nothing that could be done. Two big changes in my thinking came from the covid-1984 era. 1. Many things happening in this world are evil, therefore the opposite must be true leading me to believe god exists. 2. I opt out of thinking there is any legitimacy to government. How can I build my life on my terms? I believe bitcoin and permaculture will inspire many people to opt out and choose anarchy/voluntaryism. Today I focus my learning on improving my exit strategy, improving my soil, growing healthy food and community, ect...
This is the way. I was already an anarchist but covid pushed me to levels I never thought possible. My wife and I have been trying to tell people what is going on with their fiat money and ways to escape the system. As much as we want to help others, our words fall on deaf ears. We decided that we can't help much and that we just need to focus on our own exit strategy. Good to meet you and good luck.
Hey everyone, SP here. I'm in cyber security, doing DFIR (digital forensics and incident response). In my free time, I do mobile apps development. When AFK, do a bit of photography, brewing/discovering coffee and hiking. Love nostr! Let's grow it even bigger!
Maya, hopeless romantic, tend to default to sarcasm and humor, dancing makes me feel alive, love good company and deep conversations, can be a bit hot headed about the things I’m passionate about, Suriname is my favorite place in the world and I try and contribute to Bitcoin and Nostr as much as I can 🫶🏽🤙🏽
Hello you legends. I'm an entrepreneur from Washington DC (promise I'm not a spook 😅) In all seriousness, I'm as American as apple pie. 3 of my 4 grandparents served our country in WWII.

Hi, I'm Nic. I love being home with my wife, dog and cats. Kids are hopefully coming soon. In my free time, I like to read, listen to podcasts, walk my dog, play games, and workout. As for my career, I've been a goalie coach for more than 15 years. I love my job, I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
What team?
I coached on the Brooks Bandits (4 years) and Olds Grizzlys (6 years), in the AJHL. I've also coached on multiple U18, 17 & U15 AAA/AA teams. The bulk of my time is spent doing private development with goalies of all ages and skill level, through my company. We work with goalies who are brand new to the position, and guys who play in the NHL. My business partner and I also do a lot of consulting for teams/organisations. We help minor hockey teams put together development plans for their goalies, and we construct scouting reports for teams looking to draft/trade/sign goalies.

I’m Gerry. I’m new. Just a pleb in the world of Bitcoin and DeFi. Learning as I go.
I am an unusual normy from Greece. My ass is virgin and my intention is to remain so. I am not a bitcoin maximalist. I love certain things in economics. Don't judge me judging by yourself.
What are those little things you love in economics?
Political economy like for example the surplus value theorem from marx
Nice. So do you think that the surplus value is needed and it's a important part of the economy, or do you think like Marx that it's just a way to exploit the workforce? 🤔
It's just a way to exploit the workforce, only that one thing has changed. That is technology that in some cases makes workforce not really important so it could be somewhat disputable
Ok, I see that as a necessary and important part of the economy. Example: You have a company and have more work to do than you can do by yourself, so you want to offer a productive job for someone with the needed skills. Let say there's a $100 job. You as an emloyer need to calculate the correct pay for the employee so that your company can get the job well done + get some profits. You would not pay that $100 directly to the employee, right? You as a ceo of your company take a multiple risks running the company and it's not charity so your goal is to make some profit and with that profit you plan to expand and employ even more people, which is very good for the economy, right?
Right, this is a very good approach, but... The fact remains that even if you don't want to steal the worker, you still steal the worker because you keep the surplus for yourself. It is the system that works this way. Moreover there is a risk on the side of the worker too, a risk that quite well be bigger than any businesses owner or ceo will take, especially if the worker does a dangerous job.
You don't keep that surplus for youself, it's for the company profit and company profits have 3 very important functions in economy (we can talk about them also). About the risks. If the company fails you get bankrupt, but the worker is not, they got paid as was negotiated all the way. You as an employer need to also do work to find a suitable worker, a work that doesn't pay unless you find a worker that is willing to work for you and will succeed at the job. If the job is dangerous, you would need to pay higher wage and do more work to find a worker with suitable skills and willingness to work for you. The worker can always start a business and work for themselves, but there's definitely many reasons why many workers decided to work for someome else. You have interesting way to look at this, I almost thought the same before I started studying austrian economic theory. Do you believe that every company should be non-profit?
Yes, that's why i said that this is a very good approach, and healthy approach as much as it takes, i add now. Still your company though, not the workers company, aka your benefit. About the risks, a worker can even lose his life due to the job. Is there a bigger risk? Risk, in general, is not an excuse for stealing the workers by keeping the surplus. I am telling this, because this is why risk is involved in such conversations, it was invented as an excuse during the cold war as an effort to justify the theft. No, it is not possible in many cases and for many reasons, for a worker to start it's own business, but yes , on the other hand there are many cases that workers can make their own business or cooperate with others, but they don't do it usually for the exact same reasons you already mentioned. So, it depends on the case, you can be well right with your criticism on this, i certainly can agree too, but not a general rule. Far from that.
But it is not stealing we agree with the conditions. You arrange the $100 job, I agree to work and get paid $95, you get $5 profits. But one needs to understand that this $5 is not free to you, you worked for it, you had to negotiate with the customer and with the about the job and pay. Often those negotiation are hard and sometimes the worker do bad job and it's your job as an employer to fix all.
Well the surplus value theorum PROVES that it is stealing. So...
That theory is clearly wrong. Stealing would be if we agreed $95 pay and you pay only $90. Then you would steal $5. Another example: If you sell me 10 apples for the prize of $10. Then I notice that another store sells 10 apples for $8. Does it mean that you've now stolen $2 from me? 🤔
Agreement between the tiger and the deer about the tiger's meal, is pure cheating. Anyway look... About this particular subject, for obvious reasons, there was a huge effort during the cold war, to find an excuse to justify the stealing. Because it was recognised as stealing to the capitalist world also and as i said and as it is famously well known, this theorem comes with a proof. So, relatively close to the cold war, they ended up with the excuse we have already discussed. The risk of the business owner. That is the best they could come up with and as we saw, this excuse is more than weak. That is what they also teached, otherwise no academic career... Recently, a few years ago, i heard something about trying to justify the stealing through the theory of marginal utility, if you are aware. Of course this failed too and never heard that again since then. The only thing that can really dispute the surplus value theorem is technology, as i have already said, because it might change the situation, depending on the case, making the human work less important. Anyway, i don't say that you don't know economics, you are probably better than me on many things, why not, but this is not your thing. I guess the next subject i would like to discuss with you, if you are in the mood, would come also as a surprise. By the way, i am not a marxist or something like this...
i do not think it is stealing or cheating. But If we say, yes its stealing and so we wont do it, then i wont start the business in the first place. There is no incentive to do so. If an agreement was between two deer, would that be ok? Is this really about difference in power?
Yes as i said, even if you don't want to steal, the system works this way. Guys all the top economists of the west, tried to debunk the theorem for decades for a reason. There is literally a ton of books and other critics on the subject. All of them failed so far. Half of the planet tried in the past to switch to socialism because of this. Have a look...
ok. I wasn't arguing on this point, just asking a follow up. I also want to understand the thinking that leads to this. Because it doesn't make sense to me.
I see. The best is to look the theorem itself and the proof that accompanies it. In a nutshell, there is a surplus value created by the production procedure, and that whole surplus value ends up only in the pocket of the business owner. I hope that i am not confusing you, i am not really good on explaining things.
Agreement between the tiger and the deer is purely natural. Tiger can eat deer but eventually worms will eat the tiger. So what's the agreement between tiger and worms? Anybody can try to prove anything they wanted, but one can always use their own brains. We've $100 job. You do the easier part (negotiations and arrangements) and I do the harder part. So you get $5 and I get $95. I see no stealing in that arrangement, we both agreed with it. In my opinion, stealing is something that happens when somebody takes something someone else have earned, without their consent. I think printing money is stealing because it reduces the purchasing power of our wealth without our consent. How do you define stealing?
Ah, so it's the word stealing that confuses you. Ok, we could maybe say it blackmail or injust. Let's say injust. Please read the theorem and the proof and make your own definition and share it with us, i think that would be the best. I am curious if you'll see something different.

I am a politically outspoken individual that puts my name on everything owing to Google knowing everything about from 2012-20, and at that stage doxxing is of little concern to ME (don't fuck with my family). Despite that, I have other interests in technology, graphic design and self-sovereignty (not just individually and financially). People can decide whether I'm worth communicating with or not, but I will not change significantly just because you whine about it.
You go ahead and I'll have some if there's any left
I am one who wishes to maintain a degree of anonimity and privacy, yet simultaneously has regular urges to over share and unintentionally doxx myself. From time to time I write a detailed post of something I find interesting and then delete it before sharing because it gives out too much of "me"... 😅
I'm Mexican/American, born in Dallas and raised in Cuernavaca. I'm bilingual. Dual nationality. I went to to a top 10 leadership military school. I was in a coma for a week and a half from a skateboard accident a week before graduating high-school. I lost my sense of smell and taste from that accident and regained taste a month after, and smell 4 years later when a horse kicked the back of my head. I played polo for 16 years before I became a bartender. Now I enjoy cycling and golf as my hobbies. I've been social media sober since 2020 until this time last year when I joined nostr. It was one of the best decisions I've made, 🫡🫂🍻
“regained taste a month after” 😮💨 had me in the first half ngl
I felt less alive gor those 4 years. Smell triggers a lot of memories. I didn't get those triggers anymore. It was depressing.
Glad it found its way back to you. Some buddies lost it with covid and it still hasn’t returned.
Tell you what, I was able to do so many dirty jobs. Even pulled a dead possum out from under my uncles house; never smelled a thing.

I bet when you got kicked in the head by the horse (!) It *rebooted* your olfactory. Check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p04A4yocEPU A family member sent this to me a few years back when I lost taste and smell from the rona. Doing the flick trick in this video I recovered both senses in short order. Much less dramatic than your experience but I immediately thought of this when reading your intro here and imagine that the same underlying physiological *correction* occurred when you got kicked.
OMG I’ll bet you know Chip Campbell, Bobby Radcliff, or Herndon Radcliff. You sure have packed a lot of living into your young life. Damn glad to know you & @mallmeow ♡
I played polo with all those guys. My grandad started point clear polo with them.
HF!!! I was a Phi little sister at Auburn, and Bobby was a Phi. He had to leave school at one point because his mother died tragically. His father died tragically on the polo field. Jon played soccer with Chip at Bayside. Just saw Chip & Kim at a party at Christmas. So many people we have in common.

I also shot myself with a .22lr pistol through my left knee at the age of 11. The proceeding year my family would be displaced due to the Mexican police breaking into my home beating up the maids in search for my father. He escaped through a hole in a wall of bugambilias that I used to visit my next door neighbor Fernanda (whom I had a crush on) with his berretta 92fs. He would remain on the run until 3 years ago when he died homeless outside of a McDonalds in Dallas; in the town I had been born.

Hi, I'm Daniel. I've been a bitcoiner since before the blocksize war, so I've seen some shit. I left my 25-year-long career in corporate adverisiting and branding last year to focus specifically on the bitcoin industry. I'd been planning to do this for a while, but after my third layoff in three years, it became obvious to me that this was the time to jump ship. Going to Nostrville, my first Nostr conference in November in Nashville and meeting some of my favorite plebs IRL who I'd gotten to know over the past year (and some even longer) solidified it for me. I'd been coming to @PUBKEY for several months, and in December I got in touch with the founders and was invited to come on board to head up marketing for the media side of the company. It's been almost two months since I started, and I'm more inspired to come to work every day than I've been in my entire life. I owe an insane amount of gratitude to my friends and fellow plebs who encouraged me to make this move and cheered me on from the start. You all know who you are, so no need to start a new hellthread! 🫂💜🤙
LOL, typo on “advertising.” Well, that business sucks anyway, and I don’t think enough of it to even spell it right. 🤣
Class of ‘22 been living with the Bear looking forward to the Bull. Just a humble sat stacker livin’ the bitcoin vida loca.
Imo the runs really make you miss the lows and appreciate them more next cycle.
Hello, My name is Malique. I’m from the DC area. Work in cybersecurity. Got into Bitcoin after reading the white paper in 2023. Bitcoin changed my philosophy of how tech could free people. I am a family man, Steak lover, and love smoking cigars.
I’m burns. I like nostr & bitcoin and other things you may have seen me write about here. I used to be in shape but this 100 pushups a day til $100k has shown me I’m now out of shape. As for the rest, nice try Fed.
Thanks for the 🔄 @sersleepy Good news is, I’m in slightly better shape now. These 100 pushups still aren’t easy but I’m getting through them more quickly.

LFGOOOOO! U fuckin got this 🫡 no pain no gain babeeeyy
Hi, I'm cynic, I post my stream of consciousness thoughts on nostr because I can. I am not always right or tactful. I believe in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is more than just number go up. It will literally disarm a lot of evil in the world. We are going to witness justice. Just need to be patient, and humble. 🤙 #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/27c7f3e646644f7ec28287fee68dd61aa9f17e5801835926702c7517231fdeac.jpg

I am the kind of person who finds receiving gifts stressful. Call me a narcissist. To me, gift giving is a moment where a person's impression of me is laid bare. A gift says so much; who the giver thinks I am, and what values they believe I hold. Receiving a gift is a moment of glaring clarity, a moment that displays the distance between who I am, and how I am perceived. As may logically follow, I have always found introductions difficult as well. How does one introduce themselves, summarize a lifetime's journey, and possibly attempt to present a concise picture of who they are, absent context. Perhaps this is why I present as a dog on the internet. A simplified and caricaturized persona that attempts to disarm, while offering a touch of the friendly non-toxic communication style I choose to use. I am now 3 paragraphs into this introduction and have seemingly failed to do much beyond make my therapist upset that I never open up this much during our sessions... So who am I? I am a Bitcoiner. I am a recovered nihilist who has seen the light and leapt into it. I am the kind of mild autist who has his brain broken reading "How to Take Smart Notes", and must spend the next several months completely reassessing his relationship with the information he encounters in the world. I am a person who is unsatisfied if I end a day and do not feel like I have improved as a member of the Human race, an obsessively curious individual who cannot leave stones unturned. Happy to meet you! https://m.primal.net/HgSa.jpg
I'm Joe, deeply fascinated by the expansive realms of artificial intelligence, the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin, and the philosophical inquiries at their intersection with evolution. My journey isn't rooted in formal education but driven by an insatiable curiosity and decades of self-directed learning, with my hands engaged in work and my mind absorbed in audiobooks and podcasts. My passion lies in exploring the science of the brain, the philosophy of the mind, and the evolutionary forces that shape our existence, alongside the transformative technologies of Bitcoin and AI. Bitcoin, to me, is far more than a digital currency; it's a groundbreaking technology that challenges our traditional notions of value, autonomy, and ownership, promising a future where digital and physical realities converge. I see AI as a mirror to human cognition, a tool that not only extends our creative and intellectual capabilities but also pushes us to ponder the deeper questions of consciousness and intelligence. This exploration is not just academic; it's a personal quest to understand the essence of thought, creation, and existence. At the heart of my interests is the belief that Bitcoin and AI are not just technological advancements but philosophical milestones that compel us to rethink our place in the universe. Through Bitcoin, we glimpse a future where economics, technology, and philosophy merge, offering a new paradigm for understanding value and trust. AI, in its quest to mimic human intelligence, serves as a fascinating lens through which we can explore the mysteries of the mind and consciousness. My aim is to delve into these complex themes, seeking to understand how they interweave and what they reveal about our future. I'm drawn to the idea that by examining the intersections of evolution, AI, and Bitcoin, we might uncover insights that have the power to reshape our worldviews and propel humanity forward. This journey is personal, driven by a quest for knowledge and a desire to share the profound connections I see among these domains. It's an exploration of how technology reflects and influences our understanding of existence, and a continuous search for meaning at the nexus of human thought, digital innovation, and the evolutionary processes that govern life itself. https://m.primal.net/HgSz.png
Welcome! That was a very interesting post. I am going to follow you and am looking forward to your future posts.
Thank you! I am working on at least two books and some other things
Hey frens! I'm Prayer, a solitary traveler in cyberspace. Sometimes serious sometimes sarcastic. Walk with me on this journey called life even just for a few steps, we will find common ground. Or show me boobies and we're cool!
Hey friends. I'm a sat stacking freak who loves high quality local beef, privacy, and nostr! Outdoor and sunlight maximalism is the way.
Howdy, I'm Spencer I do a podcast called Bowl After Bowl every Tuesday night with my wife @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 where we talk about weed legalization news, lightning node operation, bowling and value for value content delivery. We've got 4 kids 3 dogs a flock of chickens. Hobbies include smoking barbecue, 3D printing, anything bitcoin/lightning, photography, not wearing clothing, bowling, trolling and flying drones!
Hi Sleepy. I'm a billionaire playboy astronaut. I got my start as an international arms dealer and fought in the crypto wars of the 90s. After that, I made millions as an Internet radio pioneer before moving into advertising. I found Bitcoin because I had decided to do the same thing in 2009. While doing research into the current state of the art, I realized that Bitcoin already did everything I wanted and Satoshi was way smarter than me. That really pissed me off, so I ignored it as long as I could, but still got in in time to make fuck you money. Now I spend all my time shitposting in my underwear. On the fucking moon. Now tell us about yourself.
I’m Luka, I am a global citizen and developer focused on data and privacy. I am fascinated by the nuances of human nature and ultimately how they are reflected in the actions of the global economy. Bitcoin is the future, the superior form of money and information. Open to all conversations, let’s chat!
Golbez here. Using a nym. Came here through Bitcoin and stay for no algorithms shoveling stuff in front of me. I like being my own moderator. I hate herd mentality, be you and have your own opinions Outside of Bitcoin stuff I’m into music (huge metal head), outdoors stuff, shooting, video games and other computer stuff like Linux. #intoductions
GenX, gamer Dad although I seldom game nowadays, P&C insurance agent in Louisiana, open minded, new to NOSTR and loving it, into photography of nature, possess a large genra of music taste (metal is my go to) as much as I do food, placed upon this earth to learn teach and move on, never got mechanics until a dear friend passed and a light bulb went off, often a candle burning at both ends, often in a fire and I smile with "everything is fine", into spiritual things but not religious, the hell with establishment anything. I digress as I'm out of breath. 😆
What’s up all? I’m pretty new to Nostr but have been in Bitcoin since late 2017. I work as a security engineer for a fintech startup. I’m a father and family man, just trying to figure out how to make a better future world for my family. I’m very invested in my current job, but I’m hoping to eventually work for a Bitcoin company. I am a pretty technical person, and looking to study Bitcoin and lightning more so I can contribute to open source and maybe make it my job at some point. So if anyone has any resources, would love to take a look! Otherwise, I like to grill/bbq, drink a little whiskey or beer, sometimes I’ll game, and I watch a lot of podcasts.
This is one of my favorite threads of all time. I found a lot of plebs to follow here. Always worth a repost (and thank you @sersleepy for the original note) nostr:nevent1qqs2za4q2vqwmxvl0g5jh2a580jgjwxt5qq67fl9wtwt9qh9fd3zmkqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzp9vtw49p6009khk2pl336t24taz3xf0cfx9g8ksej7mle4wrn6yvqvzqqqqqqyfk3m9g
Hello, Nostr. I like to Shitpost and not talk about Crypto. I like Crypto but just want to see more regular and wholesome conversations so Nostr can really grow. It is sad to see the rise of the Nostr THOTS shaking their ass for zaps. Also, I am not a fan of the Jews.
Hey Nostr fam! I’m Jared aka Cheetah Cowboy! I’ve recently launched my Organic Yerba Mate company here in Costa Rica using the IP rights from my Bored Ape! Our company is called Mono Mate and we hope to launch in the states this summer! Hope you’ll follow my journey and give us a try! https://m.primal.net/Hkwi.jpg
My name is Sandy, I like sats. Yours. I am quite opinionated and not liked by many. Maybe we can be friends. 🙂
Hi Sleepy ! I post art and mountains 🏔️ https://m.primal.net/Ivrz.jpg
Hi I’m Scott. I draw, paint, make music, t-shirts, and sew cool, practical stuff. I collect Hot Wheels and watches. I probably have more tattoos than you.
Hey, I’m Adrian! Massage therapy is my trade and I narrate audiobooks in my spare time. My lady partner of 12 years also narrates audiobooks and we oftentimes tag team projects together to increase production values ie. multiple narrators, music, and (sometimes) sound fx. We’d love to create “Flash Fictions” where we write up a quick script and produce it into video using AI tools while we narrate and add sound fx to really heighten the storytelling! I love movies, games, TRPGs, books, but what ties these all together is a love for storytelling. The stories we engage with teach us more than anything else. I’ve been bothered by the lack of integrity with our fiat art. @saifedean's chapter in the bitcoin standard about how art is affected by money was so poignant and deeply resonating. I hope to fuel my art through bitcoin and walk us in the other direction away from the needless condescending, cynical, and political attitude our art has fallen into. That was longer than expected! Thank you for reading.
What up Adrian!
Hello friends! I appreciate the zaps and follows. I hope to start sharing more of my work as I learn more about Nostr!
Hello! I go by many names. I’ve trolled many of you. I will troll many more. If you believe in communism I will troll you even harder because you’re a moron and your views have killed hundreds of millions of people.
Capitalism baby! LFG🔥

Hello, my name is Luis, I live in Brazil and I have a common fiat job. My dream is to be able to help in the adoption of bitcoin by educating people and one day be able to have bitcoin as my only job. I've been in Nostr for 6 months and I'm loving it. currently Nostr is the only social network I use. No ads and no bullshit!
I’m Brazilian too! 🫶🏻👏🏻 Welcome to Nostr!
Followed! Your gonna make it!
Long time Nostr user under another npub, I'm a civil servant who will bespeaking at the adopting bitcoin conference in El Salvador this year. I've never taken any public-facing roles before, but seeing what I see I felt I couldn't be silent any longer. I plan on speaking about the erosion of state sovereignty and what you can do today to help make your government more open and transparent.
Followed!🫡
Annonymal is the first #heavymetal band that sings about #Bitcoin history, philosophy and goals. Annonymal was born on October 31st, 2022. We'll have our second anniversary soon. Our initial plan was to record and release the first Bitcoin-only heavy metal album in human history this year, 2024. Unfortunately, that might not happen. We have been able to stack sats over these two years and we are going to start recording our album this month and it will be ready to launch by next October 31st. However, we are considering postponing the release to October 2025 because we currently lack the budget to promote the album properly. The songs we released up to this day were just pre-productions to show you the musical direction we are heading in. The album will bring more mature content. So, here's the deal: if we can raise enough sats to release the album this year and promote it as best as possible, we will do it. But if we don't get the funds we need, we will keep the album unpublished and wait one more year to release it, hopefully with the budget to promote it properly. Because of this, we will release this note periodically on NOSTR to try to engage you guys in helping us make it happen. You can donate using LN (annonymal@getalby.com) or the on-chain address (bc1qq06tpkugwle76wwj50u5gcvr0mv5ettmeflryg). Our goal is to raise close to 6.000 USD (six thousand USD), to work on a realistic but good budget for our needs. Every sat counts and is much appreciated. We understand that not everyone likes the idea of a Heavy Metal Bitcoin band, but this isn't about those who don't get it. Our mission is about orange-pilling others and having fun during the process, at least from our point of view. We are also open to discussing partnerships and having a patron on our team. So, if you want to talk about it, just slide into our DMs. Let's rock the world by spreading the word! Thanks for being an awesome community! Horns Up For Satoshi
