Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I’d learn so freaking much about bitcoin by being on nostr.
I’m not mad it’s just funny.

It’s probably the best place to learn about bitcoin.
You guys are a dedicated bunch. I am rooting for you. I just don’t say much about bitcoin because what could I possibly add to the conversation? But I am rooting for you nonetheless.
im glad i learned about bitcoin in the early days before the influencer phenomenon hit full swing. it was super fringe, with fewer people seeking expert status. if im super honest, im not sure i would be as enthusiastic about it if i learned about it today.
I feel kinda lucky actually. It’s like my special little education course. I wouldn’t have really been interested in learning on twitter because the bitcoin influencer types give me weird vibes.
Have you built a @SeedSigner yet?
One of the best learning experiences & it's the best Bitcoin tool on the planet 💗.
If I would have been around early it would have been 100% my thing. I like the edge. I’m still down with it but I really like it when I see the bite.
A few here haven’t lost the bite. I appreciate that.
I feel this. I didn't use Bitcoin before I came here, but there's a very, very convincing bunch of people here.
Bitcoin is important, but good relationships are considerably more valuable. Nostr definitely bridges them together.
This is a small network of the most brilliant minds
This is interesting… so many people say that Nostr is dominated by people who are already into Bitcoin. So how did y’all hear about it?
Snowden & Jack on Twitter.
Sean Lennon told me about it. I was looking at alternatives to corporate tech social media and nostr came up. Then I talked to Will and he helped me get my npub.
See…. 👆🏼THIS is what I’m talking about. Bitcoiners have no idea that people actually come to Nostr for Nostr sake …
I’ve been a web developer for 20+years, looking since 2020 for a “sovereignty respecting” platform on which to build social media apps for libertarians.
Nostr is it. The only one. And the people here also happen to be awesome. And then BOOM … WTF there’s Bitcoin being awesome as well… for the same reasons that I’m here in the first place.
Self sovereignty.
I’m a freedom maxi, but just wasn’t looking at the money first. And I’m not the only one….
Yeah I wasn’t into money. It’s still not my thing. It’s a nuisance to me like the government so I don’t try to think about it. 😂
Right?! Prolly same. But hey… another reason to love those bitcoiners. Weve learned so much!
So true. That aspect leapt out at me once I started consuming Bitcoin content in 2021: That these are many of the brightest people I’ve ever encountered!
Stay curious, keep reading and listening and buying a little BTC. If you remain interested and curious you will continue to go down the rabbit hole until you become fully convinced.
I've been here since February of 2023 man. Already done. I've got corn locked down in cold storage, run my own node and have a BitAxe attached to my own public pool instance 😂👍
Run my own Nostr relay too 🤣
Ur all in!
You could say that, yes.
Hi eliza 🤟🏴☠️😉 Funny how that works dive into Nostr for the vibes, come out with a PhD in Bitcoin. No regrets!
Hasn’t happened for me yet. Still dumb.
Same same it’s insane how much 🧡
Fucking bullies you into making monies 💗
Saving monies 🫂🤝
Build 2 😁
💯 agree.
I think i might qualify as an OG SS user? 2020. Below is my OG pill DIY build.
Still going strong on outdated OS 0.5.1 😆
Have two spares (one DIY) and one bought to support the cause.
I jumped on these when I first saw them. Silver or black face was all they had.
Orange looks great on it. 👍
Yeah I also like the orange one best
Bitcoiners are my nerd, libertarian, and opsec tribe for sure
