Good note Lyn 😁
Our lead developer gifted you a signer at Pacific Bitcoin -- what did you think of it?
Reading your book right now. It’s great and I enjoy your work!
Great advice. 🕉🫂
Don't underestimate the power of a compliment or a thank you.

Go out of your way to give people positive feedback.
When someone makes you laugh or learn, tell them.
It's easy to assume they know, but they really might not.
One of my problems with my real-world friends and semi-online friends is that I'm viewed as cold and distant. Kind of on the spectrum, one might say.
I incorrectly assume that since I like their stuff, they must know I like their stuff, which isn't always the case. Instead they're more like, "wtf is Lyn thinking?" In other words, I'm semi-retarded at personal interactions. I'd like more people to know how much I like what they do.
Online or offline, whenever it's comfortable, tell people they're doing good work. Say hi. Tell them thanks. Give gratitude.
Nostr does this better than Twitter, from my experience. Keep it up, lads and lasses.
💜💜💜
Saying "you're right" to someone (when they're right) is one of the most underrated feelings on earth.
They feel good.
You feel good.
Everyone's feeling good.
Test it out.
I like your book I listened to it today in the car. Have about an hour left. Good job 🫂
You’re doing good work, Lyn. I’ve learned so much from you over the last few years since I first heard you on Preston’s podcast. Keep being the signal in a sea of noise 🫡
I zap memes that make me LOL 500 to 1k sats!
Such a great book. I've used it to orange pill a couple of my friends already.
Well this is a very nice note!
💯
hey Lyn, you write gud
Thanks bro. I try hard.
Very cool 👍
I make better choices or laugh after reading Lyn’s posts. Facts
Especially important for open source development. Less in-person and audio communication means subtlety of tone or reaction is often overlooked/lost. It's good to let people know when their work is appreciated!
I like your stuff, Lyn!
Your coldness is hot. 🔥 😉
This.

Yes - and it’s perhaps also true that when genuine positive feedback is given it reflects back as good vibes in one’s own head, heart and body too.

So many insights of how markets/incentives work behind the curtains, after reading your content. Really well written and amazing. Thank you.
I’m seen as the crazy Bitcoin guy. They never thank me😔
This is true; it's easy to discuss or comment on things we don't agree with, but we don't always stop to tell others that we like what they are doing.
love this and your stuff
@Lyn Alden
thank you 🫂
Your IQ is pushing double most people
Probably most big brain time person in finance
Seems most important regarding those doing necessary, menial work, for which they get paid rather little.
They think they are doing something unimportant, because they don't have high status or compensation, but are essential all around us.
it seems lonely at the top
Dang, this idea hits home as it's relatable. I appreciate you sharing this, Lyn!
Nice job Lyn! You are doing a great job. I really enjoy your content 😀
I am full retard at personal interactions 🤣. Worse I realize it is happening as it occurs and I feel like I need to eject and pull the chute.
Great nudge to be better.
I really enjoy your work! Thanks for sharing it!
Appreciate you.
My daughter changed my life one day at a homeschool group when she ran up to another kid and said “Hey! my name’s ___, I Like You, you wanna be friends?”
That hit me hard, as an adult.
So now, when I genuinely like someone, I will make a simple point if it’s appropriate to say “I Like you. I hope we can be friends.”
Authenticity is a fundamental life-goal.
Especially now.
Let’s be realistic, most of us here on Nostr are on the spectrum, and it’s not a coincidence.
Positive waves have for now been the hallmark of #Nostr Will it stay that way? At least we have a choice without an algorithm pushing us negative content!
I'm new to Nostr. I find your content amd views so informative Lyn that you make being on Nostr more worthwhile for me, making me more likely to stay, thus helping bootstrap this whole thing 🙏
hi. thanks for all the good you do. love ya 🤗
My girlfriend is soooo similar. She speaks her love and appreciation for me with her actions so I still feel appreciated and I better understand her touch of tism.
Thanks Lyn, as ever l love your powerful and on target insight, boldness just to put it out there and wisdom. This is just one such example.
Praise and gratitude are so easy to give and they, almost spookily make the world a better place for everyone.
It is such an important thing to do. If you see it, say it. In that moment it could change someone’s life
Thank you so much for sharing this
This is so underrated

I feel like you a lot! I perceive it and try to give feedback as often as possible. Thanks for your share. 🙏🏼
Welcome to NOSTR Shaunie, let me know if you need any help how to do things over here. I'm also quite new but we're all figuring it out along the way.
Creative people are always on the spectrum. It’s axiomatic. Else every beige at the centre of the bell curve would be creative.
Like this advice a lot, thanks
Yes and actually 'thank people' if they help you, including teachers, police, doctors, nurses, and financial geniuses on the spectrum. (I have thanked you repeatedly and have never heard a word. It's different with some of the more personable Bitcoin celebrities but it can be construed as distant. I know you are busy, we all are, but after years you could try and acknowledge one new person a day.)
Great advice!
Hi Lyn, you're doing great work that I really enjoy! Thank you for that!
hi 👋 Lyn
you're doing great work!
Thank you Thank you
Thanks Lyn
You are fast becoming my goto person for common sense about this planet. Thank you 🙏
I love your content.
Love yr level headed perspective Lynn :)
I concur

Your zap total shows just how loved you are.
Not that alone, of course, but it's very cool on Nostr to be able to show real appreciation via true value for posts and content.
In the same vein, I can’t tell you how important it has been in my life for friends to give me encouragement along the way, mostly when I was ready to give up. Like a transfusion of courage. Miraculous!
I like your stuff, Lyn 🫂
Thank you Lyn for helping me learn about money and strengthen my resolve for sound money. 🙏
great post Lyn 💥
Wow. Amazing post, loved it
This is a great piece of advice. Thanks Lyn.
I recently experienced this myself. After a lecture I gave someone from the audience approached during a break and told me how much he had liked what I had said. That made my day, and I told him a little later, how much it had meant to me that he had complimented me.
The truth bombs you usually drop, and for which most bitcoiners I know appreciate you a lot, are about economics, markets & technology.
This is also a truth bomb, but on a whole other level!
Kudos 🙏
Thanks for posting this
Glad to be on the same timeline as you - kudos 👍🏻
🫂 💜
💜💜💜
Btw I am listening broken money Audible and I can't stop. #bookstr
Just watched your interview with
@walker - so uplifting! I’m pretty new to the BTC space but your depth and scope of knowledge is amazing. And a shout out to
@walker too - you ask great questions and really allow people to explore a topic. Thanks to all the content creators that are helping newbie’s like me navigate and build an understanding of the blockchain technology. 🙏
With that said, I love your monthly newsletter. Please don’t stop sending it.
Lyn you’re my literal hero
Lyn consider rebranding to Lyn Alden Awesome 😂⚡
@Lyn Alden you certainly don’t come across as cold and distant in the podcasts and chats I’ve heard you in. Quite the opposite. Always very present, level-headed, and I doubt
@Peter McCormack would have had you on WBD 37 times if you didn’t have a good sense of humour and easy going nature!
Btw Absolutely love your book Broken Money, it’s definitely filled a niche in Bitcoin literature that was missing - the mix of easy-to-follow technical and philosophical discussion injected with the relevant historical backgrounds set out in a logical flow. It’s the book I’d have wanted to write if I had the breadth and depth of your knowledge 😂
Thanks for all you do Lyn, I've learned so much from you. Cold & Distant?? No way! I wouldn't watch all these Podcasts featuring you as a guest if that was the case. Thanks again!
I like what you do Lyn. well...that wasn't so hard. May be something in this
You made my day at Madeira Lyn, taking the time for a chat, I will never forget that, friendly humble and brilliantly intelligent.
Hey, everything you’ve created or been involved with that I’ve seen has made my life better and for that I thank you
Hard disagree.
We’ve met, briefly, at least three times.
“Cold, distant, and semi-retarded” are NOT the words I have used to describe you.
To wit, the words I’ve used are “warm, approachable, and giga-brained.”
Thanks for everything you do, your intellect, and generosity.
#grateful
I like you and your work. We can learn from everyone. I learn important things (in my view) from you. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, I will.
Your positive vibes and memeing ability is a devastating combo, internet HOF worthy
My first post on Nostr….thank you Lyn!! I know you weren’t fishing for praise, but you’re right, and your posts are uplifting, informative, and valuable
High signal 🫡
I find your work very valuable!
