 My Bitcoin journey would have looked a lot differently if it wasn’t for Nostr. I understood some of the fundamental ideas and bought/sold at times of hype several years ago, but my tie to Bitcoin died down after that. I joined Nostr not because of Bitcoin Twitter and I never actively used Twitter, but because of the appeal of censorship resistance and decentralization. After joining, I’ve been surrounded by amazing people who happen to be Bitcoiners and I’ve learned so much from them. Admittedly I still don’t understand enough. I still don’t know how to read a Mempool.space page, what certain sat/vB numbers really mean, and I haven’t found the time yet to start using a cold wallet, but I’m here to learn. I’m thankful to the community here that I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with, and I’m excited to see what’s next in this journey.
