This is my third or fourth attempt at getting on #nostr. The user experience is significantly improved compared to my first attempt, the app noticing less glitchy. This is the first time I notice that we are making traction with building a community, interesting content and feeds, interactions between people (and bots). This has a ton of momentum, you can feel that. It’s achieved a remarkable level of success already.

How are you guys adding profile pictures and banners?

Good morning #bitcoin #nostr! I’m still here! Heading out to help a farmer friend harvest a couple hundred quail. I met him through his CSA (community supported agriculture) group which he started during lockdown when his regular restaurant business slowed. When I first showed up on his farm he showed me around and poured me and my brother a beer from his home brew setup. It turns out, he has a PhD in biology. He didn’t like the field work he got with the state, doing surveys, monitoring construction sites, so he and his wife started a business raising animals for meat. He taught me a lot about how to slaughter animals. I just asked, and he obliged. But I always showed up, and I worked for free, or in exchange for the education. Now, I still volunteer, but I get my monthly CSA box for free 😁 and he filters me so much business! He got me two jobs just next week, farm kills: a pig and a steer. And I get to be one of the people that does the dirty work for everybody else in the CSA. The animals belong to all of the members, it’s important to them how they are raised, treated, fed, and killed. I take the responsibility seriously. The work is dirty, and killing animals is unpleasant, but it’s rewarding. I thank God for the sacrifice, and someday we all will be consumed by other organisms too; so it goes - life feeds on life! The process of death and decay cannot be disrupted! And it is beautiful! Time for a morning coffee. God bless you!

Back in the day when I tried to trade bitcoin, I thought I was a genius because I got lucky. Trading from my phone while bouncing around South America with nothing but a backpack and a nylon-string guitar I bought for 270 Reals in Brasil. Just getting drunk and making out with Argentinian and Brazilian girls covered in glitter at carnaval bloquinhos along Ipanema Beach with the private keys to $100,000 worth of bitcoin and shitcoins scrawled on a discrete corner of a page in my journal tucked in a pocket of my shitty ripped backpack. I’m surprised I made it back sometimes.

Yeah the 2020s are a bust so far, that’s why you should listen to this Weird Al Yankovic album from ‘88.

Hello Bitcoin Nostr! I’m trying this out again. The app wasn’t quite working for me last time I tried. I’m here to connect with the bitcoin community. I’ll be talking about bitcoin, maybe a little math and science here and there, music, and whole animal butchery. I’ll kind of be all over the place to be honest but I’ll try to keep it interesting.
