I've noticed that I feel quite tired of explaining myself to people who don't believe in bitcoin. I'm also tired of explaining bitcoin.
There are essentially two kinds of people: those who are enablers, who wish you succeed and who cheer you on... And there are the doubters, who want to see you fail and will say anything to stop you from trying.
Most people I meet irl are doubters. They don't think I should have bought a house, they don't think I should buy bitcoin. They want to see me fail and become a regular loser, who never got anything done.
I try to not care about such people, but sometimes it's quite mentally taxing.
It's weird how I thought I would miss facebook or twitter but I dont. My main reasoning was that I would miss out on things my friends are doing, but turns out I can just talk to them and ask them how they are doing ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ it feels like 90s again... Except I still have an outlet on nostr (where my friends are not) to write things if I want to.
I'm slowly following more and more people here, everyone seems really friendly so far. I totally don't miss the old toxic social media. ๐
Okay, so with this app I've finally gotten my first experience with #lightning network.
One thing I kinda don't understand tho, so if someone could explain to me I would appereciate it:
When I have btc on lightning wallet, it's not on the btc blockchain, right? So is lightning network a layer 2, as in it's own blockchain or how does it work? Where is the money stored? ๐ค
These are things I haven't gotten around to study yet, but now I just feel like I have a huge hole in my mind and I really should find a way to understand this.
Soon buying my first ever house. I'm almost in my 40s and didn't think it would be possible since I didn't have anyone to back me up. Interesting times we live in. ๐
Next up is the dream to make the house as self sufficient as possible. I'm talking chickens, potatoes, solar power. For a person who has lived his whole life in a city, in a rental apartment, this is gonna be huge.
