 It's amazing that bitcoin exists, and that it continues to work. It's amazing that nostr exists, and that all the stuff that we only dreamed about a few short years ago is being built out before our eyes. 

Zaps and splits and eCash and self-sovereign infrastructure and streaming sats and swarm highlights and zapraisers and marketplaces and secure chat and and and. And this is just the beginning. "It's as bad now as it will ever be." 

Grateful to be part of it all. 
 In 1999, when people were talking about, “we have no idea what the internet will be like in 20 years” this is exactly what they meant. 
 100% feel the same. As a simple Pleb I’m really grateful to have fallen down this rabbit hole. Amazing tech, amazing plebs 🤙🔥 
 🫂 
 Not too shabby if this is the rock bottom of the interface!

Love it. 
 Love this, endorse this, and would also add - the physical pleb layer is coming to support these god-like tools. 

We all need somewhere to feel safe, be well fed, kept warm and this is an irreducible part of the bitcoin movement that needs to be un-bootstrapped from the fiat world. 

We're losing people to low end physical seizure, and to depression and compromise. Let's build it out. 

I'm here for it.

 Totally agree! I remember just a few years ago when concepts like streaming sats and decentralized chat felt like scifi. Now, they're happening right in front of us. I still get excited every time I zap someone or split payments instantly. It’s crazy to think that what we’re experiencing now is the foundation of something even bigger. Truly amazing to be part of this revolution 🫡⚡️🧡💜 
 The more I use the tech the more bullish I get! LFG 
 The new age has only just risen.

There will be battles, there will be struggles, but an era of coded truth is upon us.

 Good to know where you stand on the topic 😂 
 All this is nice, but the ordinary worker, at least in our country, barely lives from month to month.  
 people will fund ordinary across this world imo      v4v 
 internet & Bitcoin r the gr8 levelers imho 
 False equivalence between Bitcoin and nostr.

It remains unproven whether nostr has the right design to survive state pressure or other attack vectors. I personally don't think it does but anyway it remains to be seen. 
 Grateful for everyone building tools of the the future we all want to use. Thanks for inspiring so many with your words and your work @Gigi 
 I’m so grateful that this is happening all over the world, that it is possible for everyone!!

Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱 🧡

 The future is here.  It’s just not evenly distributed.

LFG! 
 What a time to be alive and aware. 🫂

 Grateful and lucky for being in this early new era. Salud!! 
 It’s truly a great time to be alive, when Bitcoin exists and all these freedom tools are being built 
 💜 
 secure chat if something open discussion to say that it works. 
 In the trenches of TradFi, I’m learning that almost all of finance today is a convoluted mix of statistics and accounting.

Very, very little first principle thinking or macro analysis. Plug numbers into model, receive output; rinse and repeat. 
 Special time to be alive 
🧡 ⚡️ 💜 
 Grateful to be here with you all for this.  Like most things it’s better in person, but here’s to the journey 
 I feel like I’m late to the party, but I’m glad I discovered nostr. 
 Aaaand we can still make it badder

 You make me so bullish, Gigi. Really thankful that you are here. Let’s go!

 What a lovely white pill. 
 ດີໃຈທີ່ສຸດທີ່ໄດ້ເປັນສ່ວນໜຶ່ງໃນກະແສຟອງການຫັນໄປສູ່ໂລກທີ່ພວກເຮົາມຸ່ງຫວັງປາດຖະໜາ. 
 This all feels so right.

I'm so grateful to be in such great company & blessed with these tools.

🙏🤝 
 The more I play with the different tech/applications the more bullish I become. This does feel like a big wave of innovation that will shift the way we all interact etc 
 We are already embracing this new liberating technology we can witness the improvements on a monthly basis the others will join once the government clamps down too hard for the normies to cope or our tech will be so good that they naturally seek the superior solution.  
 It's honestly amazing, sometimes near the "too good to be true"! 😃  
 I am very excited to be part of it all, even though I feel very much like a newbie, getting my head around only a fraction of what I perceive there is to know and understand. 
 That explains the relative paucity of porn on NOSTR… All we need is Bitcoin and NOSTR! 
 Let’s go 
 Unstoppable
 
 Glad I’m discovering it at this stage.  
 Fuck yeah! ⚡️💪🏽 
 I feel that same way

 I know, and take note of this often lately. What a rewarding reality we are all witnessing. 
 Do you think noster or something thing like it would have come along if Bitcoin had not been created and open sourceed? My thinking is that in some way Bitcoin, started/caused/kickstarted this decentralize everything including social media paradigm and enabled an idea that would otherwise have looked absurd and unrealistic implementable. Think about the first feedback regarding Bitcoin at launch, that it would not work, and later the gem " It's not going to survive, I mean, How is it going to work there is no central bank?"
