 I absolutely cherish every friend I've made through Bitcoin and Nostr. They are real ones 🥹 
 You can’t have a lot of friends! I have only a few real ones whom I can truly call "my friends," and they were there before bitcoin even existed! 
 westerners define "friendship" quite loosely, mostly because they are shallow and envious competitors in their fear-based subconscious processes which are filtered through the most narcissistic and retarded materialistic psycho-cosmology ever manifestly hoisted on the wayward chattle of the flat plane; all whilst feigning depth and altruism - see because those "qualities" (depth and altruism) are simply brandished about at their yawning and intellectually-bereft bovine gatherings to "stack" "friends".

the honest truth is that the vast majority of the inhabitants of mcclownsville DONT HAVE FRIENDS, not how our grandparents would have understood it. they have assets and count such things like #socialcapital numbers as being what friends are good for.

quantity over quality is the name of the game in the land which will henceforth be seen as The Scarecrow of the Nations.

none will be held to account. and thus each is utterly alone.

which is how and why they are getting ruined and disenfranchised as we speak.

how can one have friends when their whole life is a conformist lie, employed in something like a frenetic free-jazz jerkish jigaboo to smash those target numbers of "success"?
