 Hitting the road now—goodbye, PA! #nostrvalley was truly unforgettable. I’m inspired by the incredible progress and the fresh ideas pouring into Nostr, but even more so by the people I’ve met along the way. It’s amazing to connect with those who share the same passions and embrace authenticity.

Every Nostr event brings a new friend into my life—friendships that are far from just “internet friends.” In fact, I’ve spent more time with some of these folks than with my own family. This community consistently shows up with remarkable generosity, hospitality, and kindness, making every moment feel worthwhile.

Finding friendships like these is like stumbling upon a hidden valley in the middle of a dense forest—unexpected and full of life. It’s a place you never knew you were searching for, but once you’ve found it, you realize how rare and precious it truly is.

 How do I join this party group? :D  
 Join us in Nashville on November 6th at 8pm! We will be shuttling/ubering from Bitcoin Park to the #nostrvilleafterparty (about 2 miles away). Hope to see you there! 
 Such a pleasure you all, thanks for the warm welcome to my first meetup of either nostr or bitcoin.  It went by way too fast.   I probably would have stayed talking by the fire with y’all all night - so refreshing!  The flight back home was also a little exciting with strong winds, turbulence and icing, but @Sarah SoupBox [Zap.Cooking] and @goldfishthumb1 were both cool as can be! 
 🍞 ♥️ U
