 Closest guess for the day btc hits 100k gets a fat zap 
 24.11 or 2nd of December 
 After a hard working day there is no other joy for me like throwing in the long wave bodygliding! And why not, knowing my pension is in bitcoin 🫡 #nature #sea

 Nostr is inevitable. 

However, the adoption trajectory is uncertain. It could take a couple of y... 
 Agree 100%, adopters shall spread the word, developers shall focus on providing easy to use, accessible and , problem-solving solutions that will drive and create decentralized communities. 🚀 
 It’s summer and despite I’m about to jump into coding soon, there is still room for some fresh air and walks on the seaside. #photography #nature #summer

 Just enjoy writing it, don’t get limited by expectations or requirements. Imagine along the path you stumble across a very interesting plot twist extending towards few dozens of pages - would that stop you? 😊 
 I plan to share in this profile content on the goutbye app and my gouty arthritis management, but as a living creature I’m also fascinated by history, nature and culture. 

During the summer me and my family spend some time in the Northeast Bulgaria and I will share some interesting places and stories, hope you like it!

LFG! 

On the photo I took today you can see Chirakman Cape, located on the northern Black Sea coast near Kavarna, Bulgaria, that has a rich and diverse history stretching back to ancient times. Here are a few key points about its history:

Ancient Settlement: Archaeological evidence indicates that Chirakman Cape was inhabited as early as the Thracian period. The strategic location made it an attractive spot for settlers due to its natural defenses and proximity to maritime routes.

Greek Influence: In the 5th century BCE, Greek colonists established the town of Bizone on Chirakman Cape. This settlement became an important trade hub due to its port, facilitating commerce between the local Thracian tribes and the wider Hellenistic world.

Roman Era: During the Roman period, Bizone continued to flourish. The Romans built extensive infrastructure, including roads, fortifications, and public buildings. The town’s strategic significance remained high due to its position on the Black Sea.

Byzantine and Medieval Periods: After the decline of the Roman Empire, Chirakman Cape fell under Byzantine control. It remained a significant military and trade outpost throughout the Byzantine period and into the medieval era. The area saw numerous conflicts, particularly during the periods of Bulgarian-Byzantine wars.

Ottoman Period: In the late medieval period, the region came under Ottoman rule. The Ottomans fortified Chirakman Cape and used it as a lookout point to monitor maritime activities and protect their interests in the Black Sea region.

Modern Era: Today, Chirakman Cape is known for its archaeological significance. Numerous excavations have uncovered artifacts and structures from its various historical phases, making it a valuable site for understanding the region’s history.

Chirakman Cape’s historical importance lies in its continuous occupation and use across different civilizations, each leaving its mark on the landscape and contributing to the rich tapestry of the region’s history.

Pretty cool! 🦶🏻

 Someone just sent me this as a DM

Beautiful! And true. The others will find their way ✌️

 Yesterday I talked with my 12yrs old. He is in his creator moment - drawing, making short videos, really feeling it. I told him about NOSTR and that I am becoming part of this community, and that he can use ZBD to make a lighting account, and then jump on NOSTR to share his content and even get some zaps.

Hope that I can plant this seed early! 🌱

I perceive the ecosystem very young so if he and more of his friends are early adopters - in 5-10 years he will swim naturally in blockchain, decentralized networks and services. Amazing times! 
 Hey guys, what about motivational app for youngsters to do things, that has some parental control, and instead of money parents pay with zaps? ⚡️ Just wondering what would be the most suitable setup for this? I can code the app, but as a newbie in NOSTR ecosystem I am wondering is there a reliable / forever service that allows communication (SDK/Rest) for managing zaps. Any suggestions for this or advise who to ask for more info? 
 Hahaha, I see what you did here, but I must admit you're absolutely right! 😀 Still using some printed currency here and there and get confused. Do you think this idea makes sense though? If not - why? I know NOSTR is not exactly this type of ecosystem, but I want to teach my kids blockchain and have them adopt Bitcoin at early age. Thanks! 
 Thanks for answering this. Phoenix looks like a good wallet. 

I am thinking of a simple app, where I can make tasks as a parent and my kids to be able to get a hold of it. A completion of the task results in some zaps to their individual lighting wallets. Furtherly these wallets can serve to authorize, socialize, share art and ideas and get zaps on Nostr network and hold their identities. 

I didnt start with a solid plan yet - just an idea, thinking out loud as I will need to figure out how to build this ‘kid friendly’ with the option to grow with them over the years. Might turn out impossible or dangerous…

So far - I am reading through the  NOSTR protocol and the Lightning Network documentation to familiarize with the capabilities and limitations of the technology and how can I use them effectively for messaging/payment use cases. Definitely not looking to make the next Primal though :) I can sense as a dev that there is a very wide application - local communities, marketplaces, non-profit, journalism… 

Sorry if I sound too lame, still a week fresh in NOSTR - otherwise have some experience building on Stacks and then I came across this great protocol. 
 THERE IS ALREADY MORE REAL ENGAGEMENT ON NOSTR THAN BITCOIN TWITTER.

THE RIDE OR DIES ARE HERE.
... 
 Actually, these are great news! While Elon self-praises with X stats, and gives a low bar with the cheap blue badge, the real bitcoiners quietly move to the real decentralized Bitcoin network NOSTR is and form a natural habitat for like-minded people. Creators, rebels, thinkers. Couldn’t be more excited! 😊 
 Honest question, why aren’t all bitcoiners who use social media on nostr? I’m not saying nost... 
 It takes time, like every movement - spread the word 😎 
 I call this the squirrel 🐿️ syndrome, happens all the time 🥹 
 Does anyone know if Primal is available in Mexico? What do you think is the simplest client/ set ... 
 I started my research with ZBD and Damus, now trying Primal. The solution shall be easy to use for sure and this makes me think don’t we need a solution or guideline for elder people - the easiest and the safest from scams? 
 Another point as well - starting to withdraw zaps to credit card she will step in the government personal accounting isn’t it? How are the regulations on personal finances work in Mexico? 
 I don’t want angel investors, nor VCs messing with my app or goals. I’ve got several offers and pushed back all of these. 

My goals: to help myself say GoutBye and to help more people do the same. If the app works I’m sure it will bright moral and financial benefits. 

Their goals: how much money can we make, is there any valuable data we can use/sell, how fast can we exit it…

Thus It’s a long road of more than 9 years: from the initial concept, through design, research, AI training and now LLM pushing the limits. Hybrid coding, making local SQLite private vault and so on…

And even if it takes another 9 years I’ll keep pushing as it already helped me reducing gout flares to 0 in the last 4 years. So it might work for other people too. Soon we’ll see :)

#gout #goutbye 
 Oh my, why not GIFT our data for GIFs, these are so important for our daily routine, innit? I am always so fascinated by the creativity of the marketing and advertising industry sucking private data… 
 i didn’t watch the fight for the money printer last night

what happened? 
 A non US opinion. Biden blabbed most of the time, looked very tired and lost in his thoughts. Trump dodging questions with “but look” pushing his pre-defined agenda (immigrants, veterans, cheap insulin, etc.) and how good it was during his presidency, and how will solve world problems before he steps in cabinet.

Both insulting each other - “liar, liar”. Flexing on who will beat the other on golf. This looks like a very cheap show to me - If I had to choose someone from such debate this will be very hard to make such a decision. Is the situation in US that bad? 
 With the advancement of life, my hours are becoming more precious and expensive and cutting out bullshit, focusing on what matters. I wish I had not been so generous with my time back then. How do you feel about your time? 
 Hi Everyone. I am on a personal mission to make a gouty arthritis management app. I'll share here the path that was already walked and (hopefully) regular updates on my progress! 🤩

#introductions 
 Thanks, Ben. This information is nice, as it gives an interesting food perspective on inflammatory foods and Ketosis. I am studying Gout and have gone through most of the different researches on gout and talking with a lot of people too, etc. This includes Keto diets.

Going full keto or carnivore diet might reduce gout flares in some people, indeed but is not proven with a wide population group, that does reduce the uric acid - actually it is the reverse. Thus, I would take this with a grain of salt. Yes, on these videos we have statements that uric acid is an anti-oxydant, but this coin also has two sides: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2895915/

Gout management includes a lot of tiny steps, and requires military discipline, including drinking a lot of water (if your organism allows this), having regular anaerobic exercises daily - swimming, walking. No alcohol, no sugar, etc.

Keto / Carnivore diet needs to be examined in a controlled study for prolonged time - e.g. a year. Only this way we can say something is certain. As there is no one diet to match them all, and gout is very specific, as it usually goes with a lot of other interconnected conditions - I believe this is the way to achieve this. But I will definitely dig deeper in this direction as well! 
 I have several Alby invites if you need one please DM me🫂🤙🍻 
 I'd really appreciate an invite if you have a spare one 🦶
