 You will get out of Nostr what you put into it, as with most things in life. 
 I would like to encourage everyone to share this with your normie friends and family members: specifically the RFK Jr portion....

 GM Nostr…. 

Had to breakout my old iPhone to use Damus. 
Amethyst and Primal on my Android just hasn’t been a good experience the past few weeks. 😔 - I don’t know what’s going on? Hopefully they work out the issues….

@jb55 
Man, wish you guys would create a solid Android version of Damus. I don’t want to use iPhone.

 From my experience - all you can do is start the conversation and if they seem UNINTERESTED- just stop and move on to another subject. You can’t make someone curious - they’re either curious or not. I have literally driven myself crazy talking to people. As long as they know you are the go to person for information - they will seek you out when they are ready to learn. This usually happens when BTC is mooning and in the “NEWS”. 
 Can we stay at 58k until my quarterly bonus comes in? 🙃

 “THEY” are not going to allow DJT to walk back into the White House in January 2025. 

If he does - I’ll be SHOCKED…..

 GM and PV. 

I’ve always tried to limit my digital footprint. 

I stopped using Google Search around 2010 and started using DuckDuckGo. 

Around 2019/2020 I started using Brave - still use Brave today. 

I used iPhone from 2007-2022/23 because I trusted Apple over Google Phones.

2022/2023 I switched to a de-googled Android w/GrapheneOS: mainly because Apple wouldn’t let Damus Zap Notes. 

2009 -2019 I used Facebook and Twitter - Primarily. 

2019/2020 I started moving away from FB/Twitter and tried alternatives like: MeWe, Gab, Parler & Minds. 

I really liked Minds until I discovered Nostr in late 2022. 

2019/2020 I started using Proton Mail. Now I use all the Proton Products: including VPN for Laptop & Phone etc……

I’m always open to making changes if something better comes along. 

I don’t know why I have been in this state of mind when it comes to digital privacy? 

I’m a GEN-Xer and most people in my age group just don’t care about this. Actually, most people in general just don’t care or they just don’t understand what is going on. 

I’m so thankful for Bitcoin & Nostr and any person/team working on Digital Privacy: everyone working in this space has my deepest gratitude.   
 My project today is to open up all my hardware and check for bombs

 How do you explain inflation in few words? (Imagine explaining to someone you care about 😅)

T... 
 Inflation is the gradual increase in price levels of goods and services in an economy over time. It occurs when the supply of money and credit increases faster than the output of goods and services, causing the value of money to decrease.

 🤔 
 can you help me figure out why my Amethyst App crashes everytime I try and open my DMs? Been this way for about a week now. 😔 
 I'm on Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS  
 I'm ok if you wipe out all my DMs if that's possible.

 I've heard the reports about what's going on in the EU. Just didn't know its happening in the US. More people need to know about this shit.  
 Just installed KeyChat: I understand it's in a very early stage but it looks promising. I will certainly be using it and excited to see where this goes.

 Thank you for commenting on Whitney's comments: Like you I'm a huge fan of her's - she's definitely very smart and does extensive research. However, I agree with you that she's a bit off base on her recent comments. Even smart people that I agree with 90+% of the time can get it wrong. This is why I always remind myself that I should listen to both sides and come up with my on conclusions.

 Been having this issue for at least 5 days now. Yesterday, I deleted and re-installed the Amethyst App and still crashes everytime I try to open my DM's? 🙄

 I even downloaded via Zap.Store vs Aurora.  
 I don't think its a DM. Everything was fine for days after my last DM. I also use Primal so I have to use Primal to check DM's. I tagged Vitor but I don't think he saw comment. Thanks for the input....  
 I guess then that I'm the only one experiencing this issue.  
 GM is probably the way to start the day: 🤙

 Now that institutions are in the Bitcoin Space - Does this have any effect on the 4 year cycle?  
 I was thinking about the bear and bull cycles following the same/similar trend as previous cycles?  
 I was thinking about the bear and bull cycles following the same/similar trend as previous cycles?  
 I understand this: been buying since 2020. However, the previous cycles was all retail investors. Just wondering how institutions now in the space: Blackrock, Fidelity ect.... will impact the 4 year cycle going forward? BTW, I'm not a trader - I just buy and HODL.  
 My thought process is the same: however, I've been in this space long enough to know that Bitcoin will do what it does and surprises everyone. Either way, thanks for your thoughts - we seem to agree.
