Happy New Year🥳

Day 2 of trying to make the perfect omelette. I need to get these skills right!

I wanna Nostr more in 2026 about life, Bitcoin & everything in between🤞

Why love?

How do DMs on nostr work?? I replied to a DM using Amethyst. My reply doesn't show up in any other nostr client, ever. Refresh. Restart. Nothing. It looks like I ghosted them. My reply sometimes shows up in Amethyst. Sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what makes the reply visible sometimes. I have no confidence the recipient has seen my reply. Or that it was even sent out to the network for that matter. If I saw my reply in at least one other client that would give me some confidence it was sent. What would you suggest?

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: -a time to be born and a time to die,
-a time to plant and a time to uproot, -a time to kill and a time to heal,
-a time to tear down and a time to build, -a time to weep and a time to laugh,
-a time to mourn and a time to dance, -a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
-a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, -a time to search and a time to give up,
-a time to keep and a time to throw away, -a time to tear and a time to mend,
-a time to be silent and a time to speak, -a time to love and a time to hate,
-a time for war and a time for peace.

Felt so seen😭😂

I was talking to a friend today. She’s doing really well for herself. Got a solid job an year ago, recently got promoted, moved to a nice apartment, even went on a vacation for her birthday this year. She’s doing everything right. But she also mentioned how hard it’s been to actually save. Every month, after paying her bills and treating herself (which she deserves), the rest of her money ends up going back home. Family. Responsibilities. What we call “black tax.” And the thing is, it’s not that she doesn’t want to help. We all want to take care of our parents. But it becomes this cycle: the more you grow, the more your family assumes you’re rich, and that help turns into an obligation. What’s crazy is, most of our parents still work. They have jobs. They just can’t do much with what they earn anymore because the money itself has lost value. Inflation quietly steals from them every day, and we’re left picking up the pieces. That’s what got me thinking. Black tax wouldn’t exist on a #Bitcoin standard. Because if money actually held its value, if people could save and build long-term, families wouldn’t be stuck starting over every generation. This is why Bitcoin is important for young people, especially here in Africa/Kenya. One, to save in something that holds value. And to finally break the cycle. I’ve been preaching Bitcoin to her for a while. I hope this experience finally nudges her to start saving in it/take it seriously.

Our Kenyan Bitcoin Anthem 🔥

Mentally exhausted

We’ve normalized idolizing “role models” to the point where we excuse their flaws, ignore their harm, and never hold them accountable no matter how badly they treat others. It’s time to normalize speaking up and holding them accountable.

Geographical priviledge is real🥲

Love is the answer Love is the essence of life

Goddammit!

Love lives here🧡⚡️💚 Seamless East Africa filled my cup. Helping more Kenyans discover Bitcoin and freedom, there’s nothing more fulfilling✨
