#[0]​ Call me a hater, but I’m struggling to see the point of Nostr and Damus. To me, if feels like Bitcoiners have had the wool pulled over their eyes into supporting a shitcoin inception of social media that has basically wrapped bitcoin/Satoshis. I invite anyone to enlighten me. It feels like lighting and bitcoin, what we truly care about, has been packaged in something novel but basically crap??

Can anyone honestly say the user experience here is better than Twitter?

I have to be honest… Zaps are incredible, but apart from that I’m struggling to see the point of producing a social app this way. Can someone explain the actual advantage of this besides first-mover advantage? To me, it’s less user friendly, can be censored just as easily because, ultimately, the devs have centralised control of the apps’ usage, and its seems more convoluted to develop/code on. Maybe I’m missing the point like I missed the point of bitcoin for a dozen years… I’d love to be enlightened. If someone provides a something that makes me think, I’ll zap.

I wish my superpower was to be able to give people my existential crises on a whim. It’s awful lonely.

Do you invest your money into anything? Ye, I pretty much put my entire paycheque into bitcoin. INTO BITCOIN?

They will gaze up and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings, how many rivers we had to cross before we found our way. - Carl Sagan, on humanity

And sometimes… we need to sleep

Say hi to a stranger. Comment something about them. They’ll feel happy. You will too. It’s what we’re meant to do as humans. When was the last time that you had an interaction that you felt worse about. SAY HI. WE’RE IN THIS SHIT TOGETHER

What if, Bitcoin isn’t the most important thing in the world.

If anyone is looking for movie suggestions, and likes Nicolas Cage (because you should)… The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Color out of Space, Willy’s Wonderland. Watch them. You won’t regret it

I think the most blissful slumber I could have is hanging on branch on a fuckin tree

Still boggles my mind that there are more stars in the observable universe than there are grains of sand on our beaches

What’s been the most impactful tragedy of your life? I had a dream that my mother died and I didn’t realise just how much I loved her. I dread the real day, especially because I haven’t learned my lesson
