An agricultural engineer in rural Mexico analyzing our soil today was asking me questions about Bitcoin, Ethereum and crypto today. Bullish 😂

People complain about the frequency of Bitcoin content on nostr but there's sort of a progression that develops after acquiring a certain amount of Bitcoin: 1. More overall independence. This means people who own multiple Bitcoin probably don't feel as rushed in their day-to-day. This manifests in many ways, like walking to the grocery store instead of feeling compelled to drive and save time. 2. An increasingly rural lifestyle, usually with a focus on what foods are being consumed and how they're sourced rather than depending on whatever the supply chains grant you at corporate retailers. 3. Civic duty and concern for the rights and privileges of global citizens, usually centered around censorship, free will, the ability to organize or the ability to generate commerce. 4. A focus on the development of the internet and its design, being more thoughtful of how and why algorithms are used and emphasizing interaction or connection with others. There are many others, but one way or another, Bitcoin inevitably ends up promoting a certain culture, and within any culture there exists many subcultures. I understand that it can feel a little silly or dogmatic at times, but do consider how the American dollar motivates and incentivizes one to participate under a number of formal and informal contracts just to live, and usually to just barely live, in ways that are often numbing to the mind and spirit.

I’m not nostr only but I happen to use nostr an order of magnitude more than TikTok/X. I don’t mind using X because I find it somewhat useful to stay up to date on some news and startups/software/markets. I’ve pretty much stopped using short form video. Short form was really cool in 2020-2022 but after 2023 it kinda shifted into becoming this weird propaganda battleground.

One of the biggest reasons I implement nostr

Firebase > supabase

It's kinda funny how I ended up developing products on top of nostr completely bootstrapped. I was leveraged up the wazoo every day, risking it all, just to afford some independence. For fucks sake it was so stressful between the years of 2023-2024. I still haven't mentally recovered from what a mindfuck those two years were. It was a very disillusioning time.

I'm gonna work on a Al personal life assistant because I have a ton of insight talking to people and understanding people's struggle to focus on their goals with education. If there's something you'd like to see, feel welcome to let me know.

Kinda funny how after tax, a creator earns less than half of what they charge for their product with the apple tax

The intersection between farming, Bitcoin and nostr is pretty interesting. I bet anyone that makes a solar powered Bitcoin farming device that's easy to implement or configure would make a killing here lol

Gonna play around with

Spark

today and see if there's any significant UX gains from what's already offered by nostr wallets

I feel pretty strongly that nostr is a game changer for education technology and maybe even education as a whole. There is an authentic innovation and product market fit there. I would genuinely appreciate your attention or sharing of this demo and would love to hear your thoughts or opinions on the matter.

A morning working at the avocado farm ft. Arctic Monkeys

Setting up sprinklers for the avocado farm & talking about the behavioral differences between nostr and TikTok users

#asknostr How do we feel about adding websites to zap notes? is that annoying or in bad taste or a good use of zap advertising?

#asknostr I recently moved to rural Mexico and work on a family avocado farm. We use solar panels, gravity and electricity to power the irrigation system. I'm getting curious about the intersection of of Bitcoin mining and renewable energy - do you folks have any resources that you would particularly recommend so I can learn more about that side?

First day working on an avocado farm & beginning the transition off US stress and into Bitcoin x nostr #puravida

Ross having a 2011 legend badge is pretty legendary lol

Rural Mexico is dope. My content feels better for most folks but I don’t like crossposting here much unless it makes sense to share here too
