The amount of normies I've had come to me and ask if they should buy (specifically) XRP and memecoins over the past month is insane. I politely try to explain why I ultimately think #bitcoin is the superior asset to be accumulating for years to come, but they don't like to listen. It's hard to wrap my head around what holding XRP really does for anyone. Shitcoins kind of make more sense imo, in and out, make some $, whatever. I spent my time in NFTs from basically the ground floor and took part in shitcoinery, I get it, it can be alluring- especially if your goal is to 'make fiat'. I made tons and lost tons, but in the end it was valuable because the losses brought me back to where I began, which was the right place all along- BTC. Painful to look back, but I refer to it as my 'Crypto-College Tuition', a learning experience if you will. The reason that I got into bitcoin was purely based off of values- Love of freedom, hating authority, and being naturally skeptical. I consider myself lucky that my values aligned to what this asset stands for, because if they didn't, I probably would have scurried away from the space. I fear that for this reason, most will be onboarded into crypto with the goal of making fiat, becoming exit liquidity and then left with a bad taste in their mouth. Stranded without the set of values that brings them to the right place, that place being bitcoin. I know there's a light bulb moment, I had it myself, I got there myself. But how do we help our peers get there? I'm not in the business of changing minds, but I'm not willing to give up, I'd like to see my people see the light. #nostr #asknostr #grownostr

Who knew it was possible to have negative followers? Sheesh

I've got a challenge for the good people of Nostr! Hear me out- Over the past few months I've been implementing 1 "unplug" day per week. This is a day where I don't look at, or pay attention to any screens, phone, TV, computer, smart watch, etc. Technological fasting if you will. All remain shut off. It's pretty hard to completely detach from these devices, whether you're someone who uses them to pass time or stay productive, but it's been very worthwhile for me. In the first few weeks it was pretty tough to curb the boredom on this day, but by week 3 things started to change. I slowly began to fill time with creative and new activities, opposed to my downtime norms of consumption- killing time with reels, tiktoks or brainrot shows with my lady, and scrolling through nothingness on nostr or x. It's basically become a day dedicated to the following for me: - Reading - Writing - Meditation - Stretching - Photography - Walks & disconnected exploration (no maps, no plans, just go wherever the day takes you) - Household responsibilities (especially the ones I've been putting off for weeks, fixing odds and ends, big clean ups or projects) It really does promote peak rest & relaxation. I use this day to stay more present, which is normally an issue for me- between running a business, working a full time job & keeping up with the market. But it most definitely works, my fiancée joins me and it's been great for quality time in our relationship. There's been some great side affects to say the least, and I look forward to this day. Most of the activities I picked up through implementing this weekly protocol have stuck, and it's made me realize how much I need these things in my day-to-day alongside focusing on relaxation, mental rest and creation rather than consumption. Doing this will make you aware of your brains need for constant stimulation, which is likely something we've all developed in this fast-food, hyperconsumption world of ours. But this day has given me an opportunity to turn that dial down. The last odd thing I've noticed is this- I do find myself sitting with thoughts for periods of time on these days, and thoughts/memories of situations, that I would normally not remember come into my head. It's almost as if they were unprocessed thoughts/memories, but the inability to escape into a screen has given me a chance to think about these instances with clarity. It's time to unplug, anon. I'm sure this could help 1 person out there and if it does, I'm a happy man. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes! Cheers
