 Isn’t the goal that Nostr won’t always have to rely on Big Wealth donations? Genuinely asking. 

Offering my story as a view as a non-tech person who believes in freedom tech & made a lot of mistakes trying to do good here. Definitely not judging anyone. 

When I first came here I knew almost nothing about technology. Admittedly, still understand very little. 

But I did immediately send nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s a small amount of money for something as he said he was about to give up. That hit me emotionally as I could read he believed in #Nostr even if I wasn’t all in. Think it was for Discord or something. 

Humans should help others when they can. Especially if they are benefiting from it. We all have various resources & skill sets & should try to help others. 

While here I’ve had my email hacked & convert tickets stolen. Hope they enjoyed the concert. It’s not that serious to me. 😂

My NIP on another NPUB was at one time an email I use & I took the advice to change it. Even today someone said it reads as something that isn’t what shows on my end. It’s not me being malicious, I truly don’t know WHY it shows that. When I’ve changed it, it reverts back. Currently on vacation but it ends on Monday & I’ll attempt to fix it then. 

TLDR: Onboarding for those who aren’t in technology can be hard. There is a learning curve. Some will push through & some may not. For me it comes down to values, that’s why I choose to be here. Even if I show myself to be a technology amoeba 🦠 No shame. 🫂🙌
