 ETH "HODLers" are the Dumbest money. 
 If I share a NOSTR post with someone who has never heard of NOSTR, what is their User Experience?

Can they view the note without making keys? 
 I'm not trying to educate them about Nostr, I just want to share a post 
 trying to share a Lyn post about eth to my friend who is dumb money 
 idk what you mean by this 
 sooo

 shoot dang  
 thanks! 
 oh hell yeah amethyst. crushing.
You're reminding me why it's important to go check out other clients every once in awhile. 

I used amethyst for a long time and now have been on Primal for a bit 

thanks!! 
 I get the gambling aspect of buying $hitcoins, but even that is hard to justify.

1) It's a losing, zero-sum game
2) It tells me that you don't understand #Bitcoin 
 Wait, so the best engagement hack on Nostr is *gasp* talking to people?? 
 get it 
 u made it bro 
 that's what Bitcoin is for! 
 that would be truly winning  
 my man 
 wat tha fuq
sad to see, but we have fixed our problem and will prosper now 🫡 
 get it  
 why didn't you tell me that in person? 
 probs do better comments then 🤷 
 HOW DARE YOU 
 HOW DARE YOU 
 dude ur, like, better than me 
 gasp 
 absolutely  
 sick gif 
 damn that one's even more fire  
 I've got a specific box on my website available and discounted in exchange for Bitcoin, but I'd be happy to make p2p transaction work to get you the exact one you want. 

Cheers, 🍷 
 yessir 
 coco! why is your reply/note ratio so off? 😉 
 you're probably missing context, but I've been ranting today that the real ratio that matters isn't follower/following on Nostr, it's notes/replies and you want more replies

 I'm illiterate which is why we're friends  
 REPLY GUY US A LEGEND  
 I think your demonizing Twitter a little too much. All those big accounts got big by doing something valuable and if they got big through Twitter they probably started out by commenting. 

When your account gets big you definitely change how you interact because there's more energy coming at you 

incentives are just different on each platform and for each person. 
 that's any new platform

those willing to put in work early reap the reward  
 good start 
 you're discounting the work people put in to get where they are far too much on Twitter  
 as is life 
 No system can be perfectly efficient.
Even #Bitcoin has unspendable UTXOs 
 If you suddenly lost ALL of your #Bitcoin today, how would you go about rebuilding your stack?

Scary to think about. 
 I'm looking for specific strategies. I take it youd dollar cost average? 
 you'd save the world 
 I'll pay u in wine 
 so You would dollar cost average back in? 
 I love that every answer is "I would get stronger and kick ass" 
 100%

would you dca or wait for the next bear? 
 💪 
 I think this is the only way 
 good deal for both of us 
 damn
but we're so early  
 pain 
 seems like a solid strat 
 send it 
 I FKN DID IT.
GONNA TELL MY GRANDKIDS ABOUT THIS.

 yeah that'd be good
have you messed with Nostr.band 
 ur engagement is appreciated  
 awwwww
I appreciate that 
 "Bitcoin Accepted" is too flacid 
 Bitcoin dropped the soap for me 
 lol wat? 
 damn. love that 
 but also it's kinda flaccid 
 it's passive aggressive  
 Want to win?
Just keep doing.

Success won't come if you stop

 other stuff? 
 If you're trying to grow your NOSTR profile and are focused on posting new content, you're missing out. 

commenting on other people's stuff is the way 

think about it. there's no Discovery tool for people to find new accounts that are posting and everyone who is posting is starving for engagement. 

This has been the same for growing an account on X, but it's even more drastic here. 
 following along for the shower thoughts 
 sounds like u were being a dick? 
 find the one that works best for you. I use primal and have used others. primal is my fav rn 
 why put crypto in ur name? 
 It's hard for anyone to find you otherwise 
 sell out 
 wen MTN bike? 
 nice 
 Ben 🤝 Benny 
 rooting for you 🤝 
 I love your message with it 🫡 
 lfg 
 we already have 🤝 
 nice work there 
 maybe y'all aren't connecting to big enough relays? maybe it's a data saving option from your client. maybe you have a setting turned on to only see followers comments. 

idk y'all, but it's not a spam filter issue 
 lol sure, but use something other than telegram  
 get em 
 Twitter bitcoiners are the funniest me just begging a corporation and governments for a drop of f... 
 actually its niche internet micro clout. way better, but niche protocol micro clout def beats it 
 HOW DARE YOU 
 you hit the big time 🤣🤝 
 just don't get humble on us 
 I can't believe you talked shit about Twitter and did expect it to blow up

that's like Nostr engagement 101 🤣😉 
 typos are the greatest engagement hack of all.
grammar Nazis can't help but engage 
 boldly go where no man has gone 
 I'm just talking shit. you've been cracking me up with this
