 It might be an interesting experiment to go an entire month without talking about bitcoin on nostr. 
 wait, there’s life outside of bitcoin? 
 You probably talk about Bitcoin the least of my friends. You could do it. 
 can’t remember when i last posted about it 🤗😄 
 Me neither, 1k sats if you find  my last post talking avout it 😁 
 😉 
 😂😬 
 Easy

 Lol

 Fail 
 I most likely will. 
 Hehe

 I think I'm going to try to do it for December. We'll see how long I last. 
 This will give me plenty of new takes on something I can say about bitcoin  
 "The train station is very busy today." 
 “The Wizards are being mean to me again” 
 you can always talk about sportsball 
 Just made my head hurt again, but heres your content 

https://www.sportball.ca/calgary/our-story/ 
 Is this the title of the children’s book your writing?

Talk Bitcoin. Now. Or nodes. 
 The price of bitcoin may have been affected by the busy train station today, but it is difficult to say for sure. 
 We can still talk about sats right? Difficulty adjustments? Mempool cloggage? 🫣 
 Sorry I should have used a capital B with Bitcoin. 
 It’s ambitious i’ll give you that 
 i try to change it up, but there's no way in hell i'm going to stop talking about nostr and bitcoin for a month 😉 
 I'll try but eventually I'll fail because I'll forget about it. 
 Me 5 minutes in https://i.nostr.build/Vrrj.jpg  
 I'm going to fuck up after a week.  
 so valid. but still, you got this 
 Starting tomorrow of course 😜 
 December 1st 🤣 
 I'm interested a lot of things! #LFG!  
 👀 is that really you Derek! 
 We'll see 😜 
 You’re such a tease 😜 
 Stay humble and stack cats? 
 Always keep your corn in the freezer! Don’t fall for scams (in general)!

Wow this is easy 
 Done. 
https://i.nostr.build/krvj.jpg 
 Wow 😂 
 We buy a lot of extra local sweet corn in the summer, cook and freeze it, to eat throughout the winter. Though we've had a lot lately and don't have much left 😔 
 Better keep that time preference low and keep your corn in cold storage then

(We’re doing great derek!!) 
 So many cats. Nostr is essentially a cat farm. 
 Cat powered corn miner? 🌽💡

 That reminds me... A friend of mine, AlabamaHodl on Twitter, he made an S9 cat warmer last year.  
 Not for me. Specially if it’s done to please those who want us to shut up about it.

If other topics are more interesting or relevant then they will naturally would pop up more often without self-censoring. 
 But but. In order for this place to be moar free you have to censor yourself. 

Then we can hit our Q4 Nostr for the board of directors. 
 Secondid 
 I might explode from the pressure. 
 I’m in, let’s do it.

Let talk about decentralizing other things to make people self-sustaining like growing food, having chickens for eggs, investments outside bitcoins that could cash flow, hunting, gather, purifying your own water, making your home efficient with heat……these are all very interesting to me! 
 I'd like to hear more about people's journeys here too.  
 There's a few of those folks on here. I'd like there to be more, nostr seems a perfect fit for those living a decentralised life.
Follow #permaculture #homestead #garden etc if you want that kind of content in your feed 👍🏻
DM me for more tips on how to suck eggs 🤣🤣 
 I do like that! 
 Self sustainable weed is my middle name 
 You got a long ass name 
 Sorry I can't participate 😂 
 Let's just replace Bitcoin for another world... Like "cookies"

I love cookies 🍪 
 *word word 🤣 
 Orange ones? 
 I don't want a world without Bitcoin 😂 
 Can we talk about sats ? 🥺 
 You can talk about whatever you want 😎 
 Yeah… the month we pick is the month it pumps. 😏 
 🤣 That's how it works 🤣 
 Im starting today whose with me?

 Hey Derek wanna bet on who of us will be the first to talk about bitcoin?  
 does it also mute the word in status or in the username? 
 Idk 
 Sure! Let's do it!

Though, I do have one question. I have a note that I've started to write up for my 1 year anniversary. I mention Bitcoin in it a few times. Can I have a free pass for December 15th? 
 Ok so 1 exempt note on the 15th then?
And which words do we refrain from? Only bitcoin or everything i cluding sats and lightning etc?  
 Yes, nothing related, no Bitcoin, Lightning, Satoshi, Sats etc. Don't talk about corn, orange coin, orange pill, etc. nothing adjacent. 
 Haha ok sounds great! Also no price predictions or channels etc total cold turkey. I say we do today until 31st Dec midnight your time.
How much do you want to bet? 100K? 😁 
 I'm down. It will be like we're nocoiners again. 100K it is! 
 Allright lfgo! Let's publicly note our bet so everyone can be referee!  
 Boosted. 
 I will have to double my Bitcoin related notes 🤙

 I'm gonna be real honest with you I don't know if I could go 5 minutes without talking about Bitcoin. 
 I can go a few days for sure. Reading about it from others is a nice substitute. 
 I'm just excitable. I learn something new and have to tell someone right away. 
 I think it's a solution to a superficially understood problem.

But I think it can also move a needle. Just not as much as if we focus on understanding the (onboarding/engagement) problem better, and craft solution specifically to that (with less collateral damage to the authentic and thriving community here). 
 I'm sorry but I WILL ruin this for you all. It's nothing personal I'm just obsessed.

 I’m in 
 No corn December? 
 What's Beetcorn? 
 Great experiment. It can help think about how nostr can grow independent of Bitcoin philosophy.


One caveat: With recent shut down of WoS in a few countries, if we don't talk about Bitcoin, people may not be able to have a productive conversation towards finding alternatives. We might need to think about that as well.

I personally love the Bitcoin aspect of nostr but it's a worthwhile test to see where we are today.

 #Bitcoin 
 Your post is causing quite a stir.
Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed 
 Not one of your better ideas. Now go slap yourself in the face with a wet fish 
 I disagree with this. Can't stop won't stop.

The reason I am here is bitcoin.

I don't think pretending to be anything that we aren't is good for nostr. Part of what makes this place special is most people are being genuine. 

Youre welcome to do you but for the same reasons I don't participate in no-nut November nor do I self flaggulate, I will not stop talking abt bitcoin.

 It still would be an interesting experiment 
 @PABLOF7z Pabloverse

Relay that blocks the following keywords:
-nostr
-bitcoin

👀 
 In a bull market? Good luck. 
 IMPOSSIBLE 
 #grownostr 
 Wow! I'm in 
 Let's go! 
 This is the new dark souls 
 let's talk enforcement ;) 
 @Jeroen ✅ and I have a bet going at the moment, enforced by the community. 
 Yes yes yes! Please try that, please try other topics. It's surprisingly hard. 
 A fellow farmer. Nice.
