Starting to winnow my feed. Negative people will be unfollowed.

I wish Nostr had an algorithm to stop showing reposts after you've already seen a note. Right now @Jack is absolutely dominating my feed with one note about moving the bounty for a Nostr replacement for Github from 120 million to 1 billion sats. It's a great post, but I don't need my timeline to look like this (which it does):

People who trade #Bitcoin based off news events are fools. Long-term hodlers always swoop in and drink their milkshake. This isn't some hoky pokey stock that is fragile to the economic landscape. This is Bitcoin. It's coming to drink every asset's milkshake. The wise are those who realize that short term fluctuations are mere ripples on calm water.

I'm giving away 200,000 sats! To enter this contest, you MUST do two things. 1st: Repost this thread. 2nd: Post a comment with the best original content you can. Original content can be memes, videos, songs, essays, stories, poetry, jokes, art, basically anything original. Multiple entries are welcomed. The best post by my estimation will win 100,000 sats, and ten runner ups will win 10K each. Contest closes March 8th, midnight EST. I will directly zap winning posts within the thread. Let the creative power within you flow! Go.

Good morning, Nostr. It's march 1st. How many of you intend to #MarchOffTwitter?

Just had to block someone on Twitter. Haven't had to do that yet on Nostr. It's amazing how much more positive interactions here are. You don't get these types of people here. ☝️

#MarchOffTwitter

Any of you swear by a paid relay? Does it make a difference. I'm not getting all my notifications, and it's starting to irritate me. Would a good, paid relay fix this?

Are you going to #MarchOffTwitter tomorrow?

Shadow relax! Relax shadow!

My lighting wallet is empty! ☹️ What did I do this weekend? I must have been zap crazy! ⚡ [Loads up Strike to feed addiction further 🙂]

Imagine. One day you might give someone a zap worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in today's money because you're a real G and the charity you fancy uses Nostr to fundraise. That will be a great day.

Nostr is going to pay out to two kinds of people. ⚡ 1. Really clever content creators. 2. Warm people who build their tribe out of honest and positive interactions. One person may post complex vids and write music. Another may just be a reply star and make people feel good with their honest positivity. But those who can do both will really prosper.

I don't care about politics anymore. I am an ardent anarcho-capitalist, however, I see the way forward for the freedom I want is not through consensus but by out-competing the current system by building parallel systems. This will be done with #Bitcoin, citadels, and national arbitrage. I'm much more bullish on this after discovering Nostr. Nostr is going to be a very powerful tool to organize independent communities. We are so early, but I see a day when Nostr will permit likeminded people to create their own communities with their own standards.

Post a song you're grooving on currently, and the best song IMO will get a 10K sat zap! Contest ends tomorrow morning, when I pay out. Runner up prizes will be fewer sats, but I'll zap every song I like something. Go! I'll start.

Nostr reminds me of the early days of the 2+2 poker forum. Super intelligent people posting high-signal notes or at least really funny notes. Any out there remember those days and posted there?

I am not getting notifications on all my new followers. Anyone know why this is the case? Bad relays?

Last time I got drunk I gave away 50K sats via zaps. I'm on my second beer. 😲

I think people who have a decent following but follow zero people are douches.

Told my father about Nostr and that I'm getting zapped all over the place. His response: "Make sure you keep track of all those tips, because you're going to have to claim them on your taxes next year. My response.
