 Gm ostriches, wondering if I should be worried or feel a sense of achievement that Russell Brand has turned up in my YouTube feed recently, and really rather enjoying what I’m watching. He likes using so me ridiculous words, but he asks some pretty good questions. Would love to hear what he has to say about  #bitcoin and why the heck isn’t he on nostr #grownostr

 He definitely loves to flex his massive vocabulary 😂 I read that he was gifted 1k bitcoin years ago and lost the keys 😅 
 If there was a story going around that I was gifted a chunk of bitcoin, I’d have certainly “lost it” along the way, but that does sound familiar. Just looked through his Bitcoin tweets, and there is very limited history before this year. 
 Hahhaa riiiight? Like maybe in a boati g accident or something. Idk 🤷‍♀️😂 
 He was at btc Nashville conference... Right before that I'd suggested he may be a good one to onboard on here... He kept on saying crypto at the btc convention though. But he is coming along . 
 oh now this is a flash news to me! shall we go to his YT and slowlt dropping breadcrumbs about #nostr? let's not spam though LOL otherwise, he would not take us seriously! 😀🤓

 First post of x for a while to invite him over. 
 Says some interesting stuff but there’s a lot of grift going on too.

For him free speech is more “I’ll say anything if I can make a few quid”.

Watch with a critical eye for sure.  
 Absolutely, but the adverts are so overtly “they gave me money to shill this crap”, it is at least amusing. 
 True. 
 I mean he makes a show for sure
If he were to join Nostr it would turn a few more eyeballs here, so would be a win I think. 
 And he’s be able to earn sats!!! 
 Hope he takes care better of those than the btc max kaiser gave him  
 🫡🙌 
 Bru, set up a lightning wallet, just tried to zap you! ⚡️ 
 First - thanks!
I should have one I have zapped before. But I had an issue zapping someone today, perhaps I have some technical issue

(sry am still noob at this) 
 No apologies needed, we all started somewhere, good luck. Primal.net has a wallet integrated, and transferring some zapping sats is quite easy. 
 After poking around some more, I figured out that I needed to put my lightning adress into my profile on primal. Since I could zap others I was assuming receiving works as well 

- in any case some lesson learned and thanks for letting me know.
