I have no regrets for a single sat spent. Using bitcoin brought me friends, a community, a job, and opportunities to travel. None of this would’ve happened without it. To truly grow your stack, nurture the environment around you with the same energy that fuels your investment.


We shouldn’t leave X just because it’s frustrating. Algorithms may push opposing voices, but that’s exactly why we must stay. Abandoning the platform means surrendering space to narratives we don’t align with. Staying keeps our message alive and accessible.


Every time Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high, there’s a merchant out there who accepted your sats and held onto them, now experiencing the true potential of a deflationary currency. That merchant is likely feeling immense gratitude, thanks to your choice. Spending sats is great ❤

Woww so cute though 😍


4 years ago I was quite popular in the shitcoin industry I worked for years and transitioning to maximalism on Twitter seemed impossible - as toxic maxis were insulting me for my old tweets and the shitcoiners were calling me a purist.

But I stayed myself, lost followers and gained new ones.

Don't be afraid to say something because you feel you are the only one, you will surround yourself with like-minded people and your circle will be more organic. Even in real life.

Don't follow the numbers, follow your gut. 💘


Why does it seem like Bitcoin's future depends on politicians? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Let’s not forget why bitcoin was born.

Sure, it’s nice if a politician understands Bitcoin, but their opinion is still garbage.

Sometimes we have a compulsive need to fix and improve. Because we believe ourselves to be somehow broken or flawed or not good enough, the only logical solution to be put a lot of energy into fixing ourselves, right?
Maybe if I try this, maybe if I do that, maybe this will fix it.
Well, maybe..
But if you’re coming at it from wrong mindset it’s only going to add your sense of diminishing.
The answer is simple, even if it is not easy. Slow down. Relax, stop fussing with yourself. Take it easy. Move your body in a fun way and think the highest possible through you can.
And, of course, enjoy your Monday coffee ☕ https://image.nostr.build/3383ef6ceee837ae4a8f9bc8fda7e3ab037142a1091083b95c71a4701e8d381f.jpg

One thing I learned today:
Squirrels play a crucial role in the dispersal of walnut seeds by burying them as a food source and sometimes forgetting where they buried them. These forgotten nuts can germinate and grow into new trees.

We did the same as squirrels 'losing' some sats, paying our lunch in bitcoin and contributing to orangepilling one local activity here in Milan!

Gm. I’m Italian. I am not looking for a country that is pro-bitcoin because I knew from the beginning that bitcoin was born to turn the tables and that governments would do anything to stop it.

I am not deluded, I know what it is like to be David against Goliath and to lose everything in the face of power.

I am not afraid that my state is against bitcoin, I know it is a state of mobsters and corrupt people, but hey, it’s all there: it is obvious and it is clear.

I know I don't have to trust anyone and I have to protect myself and my family if I want to live in the country that I deeply love. That’s why I bitcoin.

Now. As long as everyone is giving us mockery I would like to say that I would be more afraid if my state was 'pro bitcoin.' That's where bitcoiners become boiled frogs.

Careful my friends, choose your enemies well.

Last night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.

Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.

The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.

This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.

Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.

We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.

Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.

A few months ago, I started ‘Bitcoin Bitches’, an italian telegram group for “my girlfriends” to talk about Bitcoin in a more personal and feminine way.

Today, it has 361 members (and I had to make it private because it was losing its initial intimacy).

In no time, some of these girls created the fork "Bitcoin Bitches Turin," and today I attended one of their meetups in this beautiful city.

I couldn’t be happier to see how this community is growing and to hear women passionately talking about Bitcoin 🩷

Smart compromise


I feel you and it’s great to have an alternative, but leaving X means giving up a vast audience and networking opportunities


I'm not sure it's a good idea to completely abandon centralised social for Nostr.

I see what you guys are doing but maintaining a presence on X is crucial for its vast audience, influential networks, and broad visibility. It’s still a key platform for engaging with leaders, media, and the wider community.

Be smart!

Technology has pushed information centralization to extremes, and now we're seeing the fallout. Our complex social fabric has hit a point where this centralization isn’t working anymore, leading to polarization—think patriarchy, racism, transphobia, and the comeback of old-school ways.

Here’s a social media tip:

People in social media don't want to have other people tell them what to do. Don’t be a teacher. They want to know your mistakes, your stories, what works for you.

Genuinely curious.

This is honestly the only positive side 😊 although a mistake by a social media manager could lead to serious consequences


Same. I publish dozens of contents a day on social media with different profiles (it’s my job). This is a limitation for me even though I recognise the positive impact in posting more carefully.


You cannot delete actions on Nostr (text, likes etc). What is your opinion on this? Let's talk about it.

Two years ago nostr:npub1zu5tdnq7w63fgmsfz85te7e6zeg7y2lt8q8r9jp5zcg68jfy73jqraqtgz  and Max were the first to put their trust in a semi-unknown Italian podcaster by giving him a speech at the Baltic Honeybadger 2022.

It was a somewhat polemical talk entitled ‘Lights and shades of bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador’, the result of a long journey of exploration, 41 days in the country of Bukele without cash or credit cards, just bitcoin. The aim was to understand whether, far from Bitcoin Beach, in the most rural areas of the country, one could really survive using only Bitcoin.

A lot has happened since then. Many more trips spent reporting on adoption in emerging countries, many, many more prestigious international conferences. Until Honeybadger 2024, where I was honoured to be among the hosts on the main stage.

All this to say that I am beyond grateful.❤

This is something for my very smart bitcoin friends that break the spaghetti.

When you drop spaghetti into boiling water, the starch granules undergo gelatinization, absorbing water and softening until they reach a perfect, flexible state. This means there's no need to break them; they'll naturally become pliable. Additionally, leaving them whole allows them to better adhere to and collect sauce due to their increased surface area and unbroken structure, enhancing the overall flavor experience.

Welcome back Bitcoiner. A lot has happened since you came here with the last flock of new users. Nostr clients have matured a lot and we have so many more people posting diverse content. Here are tips for you.

## Diversify your client use

It's fine to start with Primal but don't stop there. We have a gazillion different clients and they all need users. Do not stick with the first thing they give you. You are in control. Act on it. I for example love to use coracle.social or iris.to

## Follow many

Nostr clients don't shove content into your face. That means it requires a little more effort from you to curate your own experience. Follow more people than on Twitter. Also, use this as an opportunity to follow completely different people than you did before. I for example follow nostr:nprofile1qqsp4a2f2kfkh6qyl9gpqer75kk6t3mz0mwlqu6207qnhwswx8hdjcqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchs8h80dn for rug inspirations.

## Run a relay

Are you a gangster who can step up and provide for his community or not? Are you a net consumer or a net producer? That's basically the question. Run relays, seed torrents, install nodes, set up mints, open PRs. Be a gangster.

Did you know that…

The term "credit card" first appeared in the realm of science fiction. It was introduced by author Edward Bellamy in his 1888 novel *Looking Backward*. In this utopian novel set in the year 2000, Bellamy describes a future society where people use a form of "credit card" to make purchases. This early concept of a credit card is different from what we use today but laid the groundwork for the idea of a card-based payment system.

Bellamy's vision involved a system where citizens could access their share of the nation's wealth through a card that debited from their government-provided credit, rather than borrowing money as in modern credit card systems.

The #[0] Origin Story
by #[1]

December 14, 2022:
I used #[2] for the first time.
#[3] & #[4] gave me a warm welcome.

December 16, 2022:
I discovered #[5] and, naturally, asked it “can you write a joke about #nostr?”
#[7] responded:
Q: What do you call a nosy ostrich?
A: A nosTrich!

The joke wasn’t great, but you can’t blame a bot. Regardless, I loved the idea of a visual identity for nostr, and ostriches are cool birds. So I took to Midjourney and created The #Nostrich

December 17, 2022:
I created a new key pair for my purple ostrich creation and just like that, #[9] the Nostr Ostrich was born.
I set up a Twitter account as well to try and bring over more folks from the blue bird app > @Nostr_Ostrich

December 18, 2022
Only a day after The Nostrich was born, it faced the threat of censorship from Twitter with the policy change and attack on nostr promotion (which they later walked back).
Nostrich shared ostrich facts on Twitter to fly under the radar.

December 20, 2022:
#[10] proposed The Nostrich to be the official nostr mascot and logo.

#[11] tweets The Nostrich image.

#[12] was happy.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Some bitcoiners grow followers by repeating popular memes and trends on Bitcoin Twitter. While effective short-term, it's a mistake: you'll get stuck in an echo chamber. Focus on original, quality content to build a credible and lasting community.


Thank you Oslo, what a great week at Oslo Freedom Forum! 🙏🇳🇴💕 https://image.nostr.build/b5cc5e19e491bc99d8ef5731ea0edb8eda49c1a6c5ff12220e162f85807b8249.jpg


Four years ago, I posted my first "bitcoin photo" on Instagram. At that time, I was receiving my salary in bitcoin as a designer. I was happy, though I wasn't very vocal about my bitcoin involvement on social media and didn't know much about it, let alone bitcoin maximalism.

Started posting about bitcoin led to a turning point. I was invited to join a podcast, which despite drawing some negative reactions and distancing a financial advisor friend (he still doesn’t talk to me😂), opened new doors for me. It connected me with another Italian bitcoin enthusiast, and he invited me to participate in bitcoin-themed Clubhouse rooms. There, I met my first fellow bitcoiners, who have since become close friends and I even met my boyfriend there.

Before this, I hadn't known any Italian bitcoiners. Now, my life has transformed: I travel the world with my life partner, work for a fantastic company, and am part of a vibrant community of female bitcoin enthusiasts in Italy. I have friends from the bitcoin community all over the globe.

I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t post this pic. If you're asking yourself to do that thing-just do it. 🩷 https://image.nostr.build/f1a2f96c5719673e64746966a4fec332dad1f6fdf68ffe0e1ca176859fd43a1f.jpg


if you look at the people in your circle and you’re not inspired, you don’t have a circle. you have a cage.

happy to be into bitcoin 🧡

What happens if bitcoin doesn’t work?

Then I have no savings and have to work until I'm 70...

My worst case scenario is what is normal for most people. Think about that

our latest vlog was reported by YouTube because it documents the world of betting related to cockfights on the bitcoin island of the philippines.

note that everything is perfectly legal in that country. here is another blatant example of the abuse of power of centralized platforms.

you, who are reading from a decentralized platform, watch it to support us  🙏👇

It’s a fake account with my profile picture trying to scam people


There is a fake account on nostr that is named exactly like me (@laura) but actually there is a space after the 'a' that you can't see. It is hard to recognize since there are no obvious differences like on the other socials (laur4, la_ura ...)

Stupid question, can you ban spaces after the name on nostr? It should be an invalid character or something else

Bitcoin hasn't taught me to want more but to desire less. When you have a currency that doesn't depreciate, that gains value over time, and that can't be taken away by anyone, not even the most powerful person in the world, your priorities shift.

The shoes you liked become less important. With the same money, in a few years, you could go on vacation or even buying a car or a house, so anything that doesn't leave a lasting memory becomes unnecessary.

The money we use today lose value while we hold them, forcing us to surround ourselves with unnecessary things just to 'keep the economy going'. The goal should instead be to return to pure capitalism, the kind our grandparents practiced when they saved money to pursue their dreams.

‘Stack sats’ is an invitation to put aside something every week, every month, in a form of money that can't be manipulated and controlled by governments.

The only good thing about the traditional financial system is that since 2009, there's been a way out.

🤚 I opt out. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/648d4bd8f3c4400c82da8eda5506f0f3cd156be66692e06e4d66dede7ae5d7f8.jpg

The invisible costs of inflation.

Why are there so many ATMs in Turkey? In every city there are thousands of them, and often in the squares one can meet them in rows. Dozens of ATMs side by side.

The reason is very simple: because of inflation today the highest denomination banknote in circulation, the 200 Turkish Lira bill, is worth just over $7. Citizens therefore need a huge amount of banknotes to live on. Going to the ATM to withdraw new cash is a daily reality.

Imagine the cost and complex logistics involved in handling this. It is so difficult that it very often happens that ATMs are empty and banks do not make it in time to replenish them. That's why you need so many of them scattered just about everywhere in the city.

This is just one of the many invisible costs of inflation.

Hyperinflation doesn’t look like you think:

In popular imagination, hyperinflation evokes images of impoverished citizens roaming the streets with bundles of devalued currency, desperation palpable in every corner, chaos unfolding, and criminal activities escalating.

Yet, reality often presents a more nuanced picture, showcasing the indomitable human spirit and its capacity to adapt. Take Turkey as an example. Far from the stereotypes, it's a vibrant nation with its citizens displaying resilience and intelligence in the face of economic challenges.

The people here have cultivated a habit of seeking safety in tangible assets like gold, stablecoin and bitcoin, shielding their wealth from the eroding effects of hyperinflation.

Such practices reflect not just an economic strategy but also a deep-rooted cultural wisdom, passed down generations, about the impermanence of fiat currency and the enduring value of precious metals.

This narrative shatters the simplistic understanding of hyperinflation, emphasizing instead the versatility and determination of communities to survive and thrive amidst adversity.

We are amazed and full of appreciation for the people of Turkey. 🧡💪 https://image.nostr.build/bea9c78b8845a8300de9b6639e4e911cf07b1f3697fb965d7a739b7377687ecd.jpg https://image.nostr.build/45891981a16c0ff00a2f1a0e1d952cd52fd4a3e2c8b3f824d5086ca41368df6c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/440b8e9ae0dc8cc985ef1946766b5f1c531811d9d47f7f81ce8ded1ea7341331.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ad636f807f015798f3499b9ec850755a01af7a9c5bc15801e4be60f3d3ea2d4c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/26e12d999a9296702f760fd7296bfc3a5b252946fc434ded9443fe32304368b0.jpg
