I am done here. So long and thanks for all the fish.

What happens if I actually believe this reality is a simulation. That I am a sentient program. What happens next? What am I capable of? What is the extent of my abilities here? How does this all work? Can I positively reprogram this reality according to my own will?

Attention Nostr Developers: I dont know if it has been addressed, or not yet, but we face a seriously challenging onboarding issue for new users as a protocol. First I will ask a question. Which came first the chicken, or the egg. I'm sure you may have heard that riddle before. So you know it doesn't really have a good answer. Now I will ask this question. Let's say someone who is so broke that they have to regularly decide between eating food, or affording medicine. They are a good artist. They want to start earning a value for value living on Nostr. They need a lightning wallet for zaps. However, in order to start zapping bitcoin. They must either first purchase, or mine bitcoin (that they cant afford). Which is already on the lightning network, or own enough satoshis to put into the lightning network to run their own node. With the unfortunate alternative being using a 3rd party service. Not a truly trustworthy option. If you are serious about self custody, but are too poor in wealth. Then how are we to resolve this chicken and the egg issue gracefully? Maybe we should have the option of a Nip for alternative payment methods. Not necessarily shit coins, but a "Jolt" instead of a "Zap". Which could be used for non-lightning bitcoin wallet addresses instead. Sure it is slower, less efficient, and less convienant. However so is being so poor that you are unable to get started in the Nostr ecosystem gracefully. They can save up enough satoshis to put on the lightning network if and/or they are ready to. Resulting in the hybrid car approach to lightning network adoption. If this has already been addressed, or I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation please let me know. Thank you for your time. Responses and personal experiences in this situation are most welcome too.

Vitor, the Amethyst app booted me out of a message response while typing a response for the 100th time. Just so the timeline can load more posts. I can't stress this to you enough. Please fix this bug. I can't take it anymore. For the love of steak and bacon. Someone, anyone, fix this please soon. It makes me want to try other apps and I don't want to leave this one.

Which is better. Bitcoin, or Monero? I see everyone talking about both of them here on Nostr all the time. People seem to be all, or nothing. Choose one side, or the other. Personally I think both have a place in this world. Acting as a check and balance system. Many would just disagree. Say I'm shilling for a shitcoin. To which I reply if you are going to act like a whinny bitch then go make me a sandwich, shut up, and listen. A chad is talking. I look at it like this. Trust no one. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Bitcoin, monero, and precious metals. Each one has a place in this world as fuck you wealth responses to shitty fiat currencies. Bitcoin is blue collar fuck you money. Which has a public track record. Great for daily life. Monero is none of your fucking business who I am, or what I do with my wealth fuck you money. Leave me the fuck alone and mind your own fucking business. Gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and copper are for somehow we got rocked back to the middle ages technologically. Here is some silver for that loaf of bread kind of money. Please share your thoughts on this subject if you feel passionately about your answer.

If I give you a hug emoji as a response. Know that it is genuinely given.

Why is it when I have all the time in the world, I can sit down on the toilet for 3 seconds and shit will rocket out my ass. All done. Yet when I am in a rush and have no time whatsoever to fuck around. I am pushing with enough gusto to carry a boulder up a mountain. Taking me 25+ minutes to not even fully finish taking a single shit without having sequels to this shitty movie?
