 Polymarket showing huge advantage to Jake Paul over Tyson tonight. It more staged than most boxing fights to me. Think Paul wins? 
 Welcome!  Followed. 

Yes. Jack brought a humanity, and  a thoughtful, curative presence to his t... 
 Appreciate it. Followed back 😉 
 It wasn’t easy, but after 17 years I deleted my twitter/X account 😢 I loved that platform under @jack but it hasn’t been the same since he left. 

I hope to see more people and topics here on #nostr 
 Omg! The warm welcome and Zaps are freakin amazing!

 I love steak 🥩 but I also love fish 🐟 As a Bitcoiner, I feel like I’m not allowed to talk about dinner unless it includes steak. What do you think? 
 One of the things I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is non-traditional story structures.

(... 
 I just finished Disclaimer and thought it had a non traditional structure

 Should I invest in a #bitkey or a #coldcard? 

Which one is the better product for someone who is... 
 I think collard ColdCard is the best signing device, but it offers more advanced features that bitkey. Bitkey is very easy, though it doesn’t offer several features an advanced user may want (for example utxo management). 
 Didn’t know about this, very cool. Watching this grow to jobs beyond Nostr will be sweet! Zip Recruiter watch out! 
 Do you have tips, suggestions, best practices to motivate friends to take their coins off of the exchange? 

I’m struggling to get some to understand the importance. Several prefer the “convenience” of 3rd parties. 
 I’m on a mission 
 Appreciate that, thanks! 
 Ha! Have it on now! 
 Tribe Called Quest getting inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame. Tribe was part of  the soundtrack of my teens. Much deserved. #hiphop

 Incredible shot! 
 How do you find energy and focus? 
 Turns out there are stupid people everywhere 🤷🏽‍♀️ 
 Chris Burden's Metropolis II is an intense kinetic sculpture, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. #art https://video.nostr.build/f184fcd3726021abc52aa89f5a5e556140a5c8dd7848792537759141ead37d38.mp4  
 I’m just tryna do my part to orange pill the masses 🍊 💊 #btc https://image.nostr.build/f88f9ff665731db09896367fd7f11955e6e35205d6fbeb406c0f3212a88d6c32.jpg  
 It’s not working for me! This scene is common in The Town and it drives me nuts 
 Can somebody please explain #btc yield to me? What does that mean? How are they earning yield? @LynAlden https://image.nostr.build/2deb510822892b87684569e1cf820b83a35c1c5ae19528137c0a77ad916da7e1.jpg  
 Why are all of my posts being repeated by bots the second i post it? 
 We did a thing this weekend. Picked some pinot grapes that should yield about 200 bottles. #wine https://image.nostr.build/be9006c2e82f876a0444d181b0762d84c02c49bee553d630262599da76f8af6e.jpg  
 It just keeps getting worse. #eth has been in free fall vs #btc since “there merge” to PoS (piece of shit) nostr:note1jq2ag6vz3uufg4vmzhw0mjn278l53kd8gztn6lnmpfxsxs83ez7sus5j79 
 This is my 100th note. I follow 100 accounts. I need 70 more followers to get 100’s across the board. Will i get more followers if i show my #boobstr ? 
 #bitcoin doesn’t care about debates 
 There is too much plastic garbage everywhere. 
 Nirvana released “smells like teen spirit” 33 years ago today 
 Remember how much zapping there was last year? I miss iOS letting us zap posts directly from the feed 
 Those BET ciphers were so hard! Premier on the decks and some amazing MCs. I like the mos, black thought, Eminem one, but several good ones 
 Is “like” 🤙🏽 just to let creators know they are appreciated or does it provide some other type of signal on #nostr ? 
 Why do people seem to prefer @primal over @damus ? 
 Hey now! $1k (in USD or #BTC) if you refer somebody that signs up :) nostr:note1k9yslqcsk0wgv20lxu97tgcph549jlxc4d2pxhwrwstjeclscf3s2h88u2 
 I’m really digging the #nostr vibe. As much as i love #btc content, additional communities are what will help onboard others. Are there any business or news accounts you like to follow? 
 Was switching to PoS the nail in the coffin for ETH? It’s bleeding to zero vs. #btc

 I subscribe to “don’t trust, verify” but with so much disinformation/misinformation on the socials, scrolling turns into work. 

How do you enjoy using X or #nostr if you gotta double check everything everybody says?

 Taste the biscuit 
 Thoughts on this #btc staking platform?

 Riding BART through oakland is like riding a train through a war zone. It’s worse than ever out there. The trash, remnants of fire, vandalism of property, homeless. It’s really sad and looks like a hellscape. 
 love using primal bc they gave me 

primal.net/roya 

that means a lot to me ☺️ 
 I really like the app too, but I noticed we need to provide personal info to send zaps. I’m reluctant but i gotta send some zaps! 
 How old is LeBron? How is he still playing? 😂 
 Because he keeps winning 
 Polymarket isn’t available in the United States? 🤔 
 Are you building something similar on bitcoin!? 
 Can’t wait to see it! 
 Arugula is something people pretend to like. 
 What!!?? I’ll take arugula on my sandwich over Romain all day. I love the spice 
 Appreciate hearing there is a payoff because I’m struggling to keep going 
 Ah, i misread. “Without” a payoff. D’oh 
 I see the zap icon on a post, but it doesn’t do anything when i click. I want to zap some posts, what am i doing wrong? #nostr #btc 
 I’m not sure I understand what “Nostr as a social graph and discovery mechanism for Bitcoin/ecash wallets” means. Can you help me understand how that’s valuable? 
 Since #eth transitioned from PoW to PoS it’s down 43% vs #btc. 🤷🏽 
 what’s something about bitcoin that you think will be a hardship in the future years? 
 Managing fees 
 I loved this book 📖 @LynAlden  explains things so clearly (per the usual). I learned a lot from it 🙏🏽 nostr:note179hcndje2sgfdjs9n5p48zvu9dvw6ah95qq5cycqag48jhgp4h4q3urg58 
 Can one ever have enough #bitcoin? 
 Notice how twitter is all number go up? There’s little chatter about price here at #nostr and I’m here for it
