GM Nostriches! It's time to start the day with Nostr. Stack sats, Zap for the Plebs, Save in #Bitcoin, That's it!

🚗 Asking for help to start Bitnomi Rent a Car in Sri Lanka ⚡ I am Nomishka from Sri Lanka. The author of the #NostrRecap. I am trying to start a Bitcoin-accepted car rental agency in Sri Lanka. It has been one of my dreams since childhood. But cars are very expensive in Sri Lanka, as taxes are very high on the car price. For a normal good car, I should spend around USD20000, which I will be unable to afford in the near future. I am trying to put #Bitcoin on wheels in my country. I am not just asking for help. I am asking for help for the Value4Value (v4v). This is not just a business. Also improving the community adoption of Bitcoin. I am not here for money. I need to make a world with freedom and sovereignty. This business also will help me to fix my very old house walls and solve other personal struggles and stand on my own feet with my family in the long term. If you think I deserve it, please help me with a zap as you are able. It shouldn't be a zap. Even your reposting will be a great help to orange-pill Sri Lanka while I am standing on my feet beating poverty. I am sure this generous community will help me like they helped to fully fix my roof.

GM my friends!

GN everyone!

I think I am already rich in humanity and heart. I learnt from my parents how to get that rich. But I am very poor in money. One day I will get rich in money also with working hard and take care of my parents, buy a motorbike, rebuild my house walls and start my Bitcoin accepted rent a car business in Sri Lanka. I never give up. Then I could continue my #nostr spreading in my lifetime.

GM! It's time to start my Nostr spreading work! Stack sats, Zap for the Plebs, Save in Bitcoin.

GN Nostr!
