 Can’t imagine being unjustly detained or imprisoned for an extended period of time. Where my family, friends and advocates are nearly helpless to influence my situation. #FreeRossDayOne 
 Consistent negativity and chronic cynicism are signs of one’s failure to level tf up. 

Highly recommend getting over it.  
 All the world’s a stage. 

Just remember to enjoy the show. 
 Give me the cypherpunks & privacy advocates, the religious fanatics & maximalists, the crypto bros & policy pros, the traders & influencers. I will take the conservatives & progressives, the L2s & side chains, the non profits & corporations. Play your position and bitcoin wins. 
 Can nostr hang or is this the “echo chamber” many people accuse it of being? On a mission to find out. 
 Great questions. Havent really thought about it. Sort of winging it and not trying to force anything.  
 Ok. Made one that is mostly appropriate for here.

 Do I put everything here I’m putting on Twitter or what are the rules? 
 Here for it.  
 Wen do they talk about the 🌽 
 Real talk 
 Single issue voters are honest voters. Don’t try to put me in a blue or red box please and thank you. Bitcoin is on the ballot. 
 Recently registered to vote. Was disaffected the last two cycles & I’m still pretty skeptical overall. But with politicians beginning to pay attention to Bitcoin, I concluded that voting in accordance with my interests cost me nothing and is low risk, high reward. See you Nov 5.

 Talk less, ship more. 
 That which gets rewarded, gets repeated. 
 Haha great question. We really are fascinating creatures. 
 Yooooo nostr has come a long way in a year. Why didn’t you guys tell me? 😂 
 Quickly becoming a ghost town over there. 
 lol I know, I know. Scrolled past way too many npubs 
 Feels like a no brainer 
 Trying to keep up! Downloaded a few new apps and getting a feel for the differences. Crazy to even have options!

G... 
 Thanks brother! Appreciate your guidance 🙏 
 Oh shit I just leveled up ⚡️ 
 I keep forgetting not to sleep on nostr. Twitter muscle memory goes hard. 
 Appreciate the pro tip 🫡 
 Operation reply guy in full effect 
 Baby steps for now, still so much to learn. But that might be the play. 
 How does it feel? 
 Tryna get back on the horse 
 Tempting. Got a lot to learn on this side first before going cold turkey. Which I realize is something a crack addict would probably say.

 Here for it. The algorithm taking its toll. 
 Yeah but “muscle memory” sounds better 
 MY PLAN IS TO HELP BOOTSTRAP NOSTR, MAKE THIS SHIT THE STANDARD, THEN FADE OUT OF PUBLIC TO FOCUS... 
 Nuking your Twitter was legendary. You got this. 
 We are less fake and more ourselves among people we respect, trust and love. The value of a relationship can be measured by its level of realness. 
 The Mexico aliens episode proves almost  definitively that seeing is NOT believing. 
 It’s a good day to do great things. 
 Stop worrying about outcome and start worrying about output. 
 Modern education often confuses the word "learn" with the word "memorize". The difference: if you walk away with a new skill, insight or applicable knowledge that is learning. Almost everything else is rote memorization of things you can google. 
 What happened to having rules? Most parenting pro-tips come down to: setting clear expectations, articulating potential consequences and enforcing your rules consistently. 
 Avoiding conflict and confrontation is a great way to ensure you are unprepared for when they inevitably arise. 
 Parents: stop using the 'countdown' method as a threat of when you will take your own instructions seriously. You're teaching your kids to ignore your initial instructions. Delayed obedience is disobedience.
