$MSTR needs to get shaken out this cycle. It was always a scam

🎄 Day 2: Day 2: Public Key Cryptography 📝 Good morning ☀️ 📚 Learn: Nostr uses public key cryptography to secure your identity. Your public key (npub) is your address on the network, while your private key (nsec) signs your messages. This cryptographic foundation means no central authority can ban or control your account. Your keys are your identity, and they work across every Nostr client. 🟣 App of the Day: damus.io https://damus.io 👤 Person to Follow: npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx #NostrAdvent2025

🎄 Day 1: Day 1: What Is Nostr? 📝 Nostr Advent Calendar begins today! 📚 Learn: Nostr stands for 'Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.' It's a simple, open protocol that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social networking. Unlike traditional platforms, you own your identity and data. Your account is a cryptographic keypair that works across any Nostr client or app. 🟣 App of the Day: jumble.social https://jumble.social 👤 Person to Follow: npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 #NostrAdvent2025

Day 1 of #nostrchristmas is live. Come learn Nostr, meet new people, and explore new apps. I had to kick things off with my friend nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 , the unofficial ambassador of Nostr education. He has helped countless people understand this place. Check out the note, share it with the community, and come back tomorrow to reveal Day 2. The fun is just getting started. 🎄 nostr:note1fq7u3jaunytlex2wj9wl45l2txvrrq3hg0edwcgkvc7vrtm4fg0qkhnkt6

Two of my favorite books are How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and Influence by Robert Cialdini. Both outline simple truths about how humans operate at the OS level, and they apply directly to what we are building on Nostr. Carnegie teaches that you should never criticize, condemn, or complain. People do not change when they feel pressured or shamed. They change when they feel welcomed and understood. If we want zap culture to grow, we cannot guilt people into zapping or tell them they are doing it wrong. Criticism kills curiosity. Encouragement creates participation. Cialdini explains the power of reciprocity. Humans are wired to return value when they receive it. That is exactly what a zap represents. It is not a transaction. It is gratitude. It is acknowledgment. It is someone saying, “What you did mattered.” When people receive something meaningful, they naturally want to give back. It is healthy to have constructive conversations about culture. That is how we expand our understanding and improve what we are building. What is not healthy is falling into Twitter style arguments where anger and fear are used as fuel. That type of engagement corrodes trust, destroys momentum, and turns communities inward. Human nature always shows up, for better or worse. The question is which part we choose to amplify. If we want a thriving ecosystem, we need to keep building each other up, not tearing each other down.

People do not join movements because of the tech. They join because it feels good to be there. Tech is the pipes, but the culture is the pull. Most people don’t care about Bitcoin’s code. They care about what it represents. Same with Nostr. The protocol is cool, but the reason people stay is the vibe, the friendships, the sense that your contributions actually matter. If we want more people zapping and building, we do not lead with features, we lead with meaning. Create a place where someone shows up and thinks, “Yeah, I want to be part of this.” This is how we #grownostr
