 As the 3rd edition of the  @thenostrworld unconference approaches, I find myself with a mix of emotions. #NOSTRiga will be the last edition I help organize, and it’s deeply personal for me to step away from something that has become such an integral part of my life.

This experience has been one of the most fulfilling of my life. I used to think that in order to contribute to FOSS, I had to be a developer. But I’ve learned that if you love something, you can always find a way to help it grow. Nostr.world unconferences have given me a new family—all of you on nostr—and some really close friends like every nostr.world core organizer  @mcshane,  @mads,  @ExFrog,  @angela,  @elidy,  @BitcoinJungle,  @NVK, and my PR BFF  @ROCKSTAR.

It’s because of this unconference that I found a home with the  @NostReport and  @Plebchain Radio team. I love these guys:  @corndalorian,  @doc,  @Lau,  @AviBurra, and  @QW —my go-to trash-talking team. And honestly, there are so many more special individuals that I can’t tag you all, but everyone helping grow nostr has definitely touched my heart.

Though it’s heartbreaking to move away from organizing this event, I am excited to focus on the other projects I am passionate about. This isn’t goodbye; I will still be here, continuing to contribute to FOSS with the different projects I am blessed to collaborate with, and working hard to create bridges to grow nostr and keep freedom of speech alive.

Thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity, especially  @jack for trusting this whole team to deliver events around the world, allowing people to express themselves in the best environment possible.

I can’t wait to see everyone in Riga for the whole Riga Bitcoin Week. I hope the next person who joins the team feels free to talk to me about anything they need. And if any of you ever wants to talk about nostr, marketing, events, bitcoin, or just needs someone to reach out to on this journey of fighting the status quo, feel free to talk to me!

Stay classy nostr,
Marce 💜

 🥹 So freaking happy to have met you in Tokyo at Nostrasia. You're probably one of the few people in the Bitcoin + Nostr + FOSS + Giving a Shit communities, that is so sincere about their mission and doing the absolute best in everything they do and touch. Words seriously can't describe how *awesome* Nostrasia was for me. It was like coming home to a welcoming, loving, family I had never met before but yet vibed with. 

You're the first nostrich I've ever met outside of my own city too! And I daresay the one nostrich I respect the most as your Proof of Work effort is second to none and your ideals are among the most loyal and humble ideals one can harness. You got tiger blood in you Marce! 

Going to try my hardest to make Riga... the nostrich vibes are too homely and friendly to miss. Thank you so much for the unconferences, the nostr report and of course PCR too. Not to mention just for smiling and keeping people in good spirits... like always.

Thanks for helping me inspire myself to do more and better as well 💜 - Also mega proud of you for everything you've accomplished and continue to 😄  
 Thanks Tigs! Love you bro, you are a warm sun-ray in a cold winter morning  🫶🏽 
 Awww... it's like 3:30am and cold but I'm warm because of your legit words. 💜 This is just one of your superpowers!
