 I am dinosaur. Very new to #nostr, and I don't own bitcoins. I always felt like I somehow missed that train.

But...the fact that I organically started building up my Bitcoin balance just by being me is one of the most rewarding things I've ever experienced!

This is an opportunity for anyone to create a new kind of value for themselves in the digital space. It’s both exciting and full of possibility!

 
 yep, that's exactly how I percieve it! Thank you for the warm welcome! Let's create a better place. After all, ideas create worlds! 
 Thank you very much! My entire life was a journey of freedom and self sovereignty, so it only make sense I get myself familiar and aligned with this form too 😀 
 I see! Wild 😀 Thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate it ❤️ 
 Thank you! The funny thing is that I am still not obsessed with being rich, money, etc but just super grateful for the opportunity to be seen, valued, share your ideas, and actually have freedom. I'll let the algorith of life and creation itself translate that into coins 😀 I simply don't bother with that. I simply acknowledge it's quite magical! 
 Thank you, Ivan! 
 True story! I feel I came in the right time!  
 😀✔️👍 
 I know...wild!! 😀 
 Oh I've been revolutionary all my life! I simply never (until now) went to thr technical stuff and actually buying coins, but I am well aware of it's purpose and potential. Nostr particulary makes me excited!! All I can see are incredible opportunities and shifting paradigms! 
 Thank you very much and oh I sooo agree! 😀 
 Thank you! You know what? I feel I came just on time. I am not even bothered with stacking, I am just super excited about opportunities we have with nostr as a powerful channels for sharing ideas and paradigm shift! My logic is if that resonates with people, it will translate into coins, but coins thrmselves are not the reason I am here. 
 I really have no idea what you are talking about. I assure you, these words are purely mine. But, if you don't understand them or don't resinate with them, that's fine. Nostr is amazing thing, it allows us to talk without censorships, but I am not sure that false accusations, attacks, projections...are the way to go. It certainly is a choice, but I would personally reconsider is the best route to take. Cheers!

 As someone who declare as dinosour and being new to all this, I don't agree. The best way to make it mainstream is to render complex tech concepts into relatable language so dumbass like me and millions of people can understand it. If you hit us first with terms like "public key", "sats", "zapping", etc we will run away because we have no idea what the heck is that. What we do understand is:
1. True freedom of speech, no censorship, independence
2. Possibility to create amazing things and spread powerful ideas without being a victim of algorithm
3. While in traditional social media you are invisible, shut down, shadowbanned...here you can be equal and visible and effortlesly be awarded and earn money just because others appreciate what you have to say/share/express. It's entirely different, refreshing experience!

I could go on and on...but you get the idea. Basically adressing pain points of current world,internet and social media and in simple language offering solution - nostr. explaining all possibilities it offers (again in regular human language). Also, I would personally promote it as a place that is not ego centric, but focused on service to all. I would also promote post and ideas of this kind.

Maybe the most important part is arranging free education "what is #nostr and how to set it up" in high schools, universities and independent events organized by nostr itself. This should be done all over the world physically, not virtually. The fear of new and unknown needs to be overcome, and having real people next to you who can guide you, and show you and answer the questions is crucial!

At the end of the day, nostr should be presented as powerful movement since realisticly maybe for the first time in thousand of years allows people and nations who were opressed, robbed and poor get their dignity and freedom back.

 
 Totally agree! 
 One sun from the sky, with its golden embrace,
Another beneath, a quiet hidden face.

They meet in the water, where whispers run deep,
A realm between worlds, where secrets may sleep.

 @84726597 thank you, Sir😀 
 There are truly no boring situations.
Only bored minds.

#reflections 
 Every situation you find yourself in is exactly where you need to be at that moment. Every person... 
 Yes. We label it as negative, but we can always frame it more like this "Oh, I don't prefer this. Thanks (person, situation,etc) what is not me/not my choice". It's really a matter of perspective and reframing. Negative is not there by accident. It's an opportunity to bring our shadow to light, so we can face it, see it clearly  and transform it.

We fear negative experiences, yet experiences are thr only way we can clarify our preferences and make conscious decisions without being overruled by our ego. 
 Because people fear emotions. and they fear because they are not taught what to do with them. So they hide them, repress..
 
 
I love this photo on so many levels! Mostly because it reminds me of how I created it. It was back in 2007... I got myself a Fuji prosumer camera and started photographing like crazy. Photography was my escape from the corporate world. After finishing work, I’d come back late at night, in low light, feeling so tired. But since photography made me feel alive and passionate, I kept enjoying the process of creating art and, I guess, self-discovery.

I think I was longing for authenticity after spending all day in an oppressive corporate environment.

Anyway, long story short... this photo was taken in a small bathroom under a bulb, with that old Fuji prosumer camera. The entire process of creating this photo took all night, setting the mood and vibe in Photoshop afterward. It had to "click" you know? To #FEEL right 😀

Over time, I’ve learned that we always embody pieces of ourselves in the things we pour our focus, attention, and emotions into. We transfer that onto a medium and make it immortal. And that creation can always be felt. That’s how this photo became my second best-selling #wallart print!

"Sweet", 2007

 Aww, thanks @Evelin❤️🙏 
 Do people have ideas?

Or do ideas have people? 
 From my experience, ideas exist. They "come" to more than one person at once. It's like a wave (field of information) and some tune in and "download". This would explain why during Tesla time there was loads of other technological revolutions. Or why Freud and Jung existed in the same time and worked in the same field... 
 Hello!

Just joined because the possibilities of Nostr are ...endless.

Eager to see what humans create when they are free to choose what they want to create 😃 
 Aww thanks ❤️ 
 Hehe thanks! You will remain remembered as a first person that welcimed me on #nostr 😀❤️ 
 Lol, I resonate so much with this girl! I am newbie. I don't own bitcoins and how to set up all these things. It would be so great to have tutorials, help (community/customer support)...we dummasses from facebook, instagram etc. Help 😅 
 Thank you! 
 Hey Nostr, please welcome Prince Filip of Serbia. 

I think  nostr:npub198q8ksyxpurd7lq6mf409nrtf... 
 ludilo!😀 
 Ignorance isn't a shame if you don't know, but remaining ignorant when you do is a lack of empath... 
 Yes! 
Compassion sets the stage & possibillity of experiencing LOVE😀. 

Compassion is really opposite of ignorance/arrogance/all forms of narcissism.

It is basically acknowledgment.

 And when we offer acceptance instead of judgment,well... then it's time for love revolution. 
 Ahaha that's exactly what I saw ahahah
