 The reason for nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub17... 
 Oh man. That sounds awesome, but I already have plans mid-February. I don't think I'll be able to swing that. 
 Luckily you are the CEO.

 I bet we'll hit 100K in 2025. Maybe even 1M. We just need that one killer app, that one killer use case, or that government endorsement of Nostr's use cases. 
 I often have lots of FOMOs. We have so many apps. I'm always in Fear of Missing Other Stuff. 
 Hmm. nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9 I think we have a new slogan. 
 Damn. That's really bullish. What's going to make us hit 100K daily active users by end of year? 
 Definitely. I think onboarding and content discovery still needs a lot of work. But it's absolutely doable. User retention is our largest hurdle. 
 Nope. Governments LOVE to advertise for Nostr. 
 Really? What don't you think that will happen?  
 I think we're talking about different things. 
 Ma'am this is a shitpost, but has truthful undertones. For example, as governments ban social media apps and censor content, they're essentially advertising Nostr's features and capabilities. 
 Hello world! #introductions 
 Hello 
 We need to get more Russians on Nostr 

We need to get more Chinese on Nostr

We need to get more... 
 Some of the most oppressed people in the world. They need Nostr more than most. 
 I think you're doing this wrong. 
 The sad reality is that very few will adopt a bitcoin standard...

Most will be on an sats standa... 
 That's why Saylor doesn't Zap. He doesn't know what sats are. 
 Domain names are legacy technology.

 I wonder if nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyfehcpn has ever heard this joke before. Probably not. 
 It's not. No.  
 Would this be like a Chat Roulette style Nostr client? 
 Apparently Solana people were interested in buying nostr.com for $5M. nostr:nprofile1qqsvrlrhw86l5sv06wkyjgs6rrcekskvk7nx8k50qn9m7mqgeqxjpvgpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0tc48yt didn't sell it to Shitcoiners. Respect.  
 Noice! He's reconfirming it again right now on Nostr Nests. 
 He just said this live on Nostr Nests 🥹 
 Sorry brother. I have faith though. 
 Has anyone checked in Peter Schiff?  
 Proor guy is about to have a real bad time. 
 Gotta take care of our elderly. 
 Tell him if he joins Nostr I'll zap him. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqst7gmku9a6fmpxn5g0ejvk536xk3g322lfqv06frn5257au4fxhnspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0ay42q2 should invite him. He has a crush on her after all.

 Amazing 😂

Hey honey, you should start making music and videos.
Why?
No reason. Oh. Maybe try orange hair too. 
 Yikes 👀 
 Top buyers forever. 
 Rekt. 
 We'll get there.

 Welcome to the world of decentralized social communication 🤙🏻🫂💜 
 The name just makes me think of Hank Hill. 
 This is the signal to sell your system76 and buy Bitcoin  
 If I had a system76, this would mean war. 
 Hrm. 
 That looks like a sweet system.

 I anticipate leopards to eat a lot of faces over the next few years. 
 Absolutely. I'm skeptical, but obviously hope it happens. 
 The latest Pokey 0.0.7 fixes the infinite loop with Amber login that was introduced in 0.0.6.

 It only started about two weeks ago, after the last version, but I also installed Android 15 then too. 
 Thanks boo. Love you 😘 
 Good morning, Derek 🌻💜🫂
