Had never used ln prior to nostr. I find I use it less and less because it seems like there is a major lack of confidence in the technologies inherent ability to do the talking, and get the human taste and aesthetic that held me back from trying ln out of the equation.

Me. He's talking about my Bitcoin story. nostr:nevent1qqs0fqjsgrncpzla96durdjlpfglwq3frm408t434nr5wuxn6g9rvdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyr02k7w6lgwzhe955mf6egf40dk25zm5f06x44ff5khyvs5g270xsqcyqqqqqqghxzwmn

I joined Nostr the first week of February. I remember because it was days after my bestie kidnapped me for my birthday and had an anarchist festival in Slab City. I get back home, see Snowden taking about uncensorable decentralized social media which was exactly what I was looking for for quite a while at the point and I joined right then. I see this lovely community and the protocol that ran it. Then I start learning from the ground up about Bitcoin, something I wanted to get into since college. I wanted to mine but didn't know how/was worried about electricity cost. I wanted to buy in 2012, I wanted to buy every year but would look and think "1 coin is 5k but I need to pay this bill,l" or I need this equipment for filming. I didn't even know you could buy less than a whole coin at a time. I thought it was all just past me. Number keeps going up. With my art I thought maybe nfts were the only way to get in at that point, and that digital proof of ownership could work well selling art pieces. Then people weren't interested in anything more than shit art and all those ended up being scams🤷🏽 I just didn't want to associate. But then on Nostr I'm surrounded by people that send 21 sats when I say "lol" and upwards of 1k at the least and much much higher when I post things of actual value. I started with 0bitcoin in Feb. After a few months of helpful plebs I had a number where I was like wow... This is what I wanted years ago. Now at this point, I've gotten paid for an actual job via Bitcoin, 3 months in a row I've stacked on my own with robosats, and number slowly ticks up because I still post long philosophical ideas and movie breakdowns, as well as "lol" So again. Keep talking about Bitcoin. Because you saved me. I wanted to be saved but didn't know it was still possible. 🤷🏽 nostr:nevent1qqs0fqjsgrncpzla96durdjlpfglwq3frm408t434nr5wuxn6g9rvdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyr02k7w6lgwzhe955mf6egf40dk25zm5f06x44ff5khyvs5g270xsqcyqqqqqqghxzwmn

I discovered Nostr when Andrew Torba shared a tweet from Dorsey talking about it. Everyone was making fun of the post for odd, superficial reasons, so of course I wanted to know what this freedom tech was all about. nostr:nevent1qqs0fqjsgrncpzla96durdjlpfglwq3frm408t434nr5wuxn6g9rvdsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsda2memtapc2lykjnd8t9px4ake2stw39lg6k49xj6u3jz3pteu6qrqsqqqqqpsqje2k
