Two questions keep me up at night, and I haven’t managed to figure either of them out on my own. (1) Who came up with the ostrich, and (2) Why purple?

Misread 1, I don’t know who came up with it 😂
I asked gpt3 to write me a joke about nostr— it wrote a pretty bad joke but I loved the idea of a Nostrich.
Then I started playing on Midjourney and made the initial #[2] image. I used purple because #[3] was already purple and Bitcoiners have plenty of orange stuff already.
#[4] proposed it as the unofficial mascot, then #[5] tweeted the Nostrich on Twitter and it stuck.
HISTORY!
👌🏼
🤙
Legend. 💜
Waiting for the “I’m going to tell my kids that Nostr….” jokes
i want to see a split personally video with you as a nostrich and your bitcoin warrior maiden. that would be sweet.
Oh. My. God. 😂😂😂

No, there’s another one about ancap that was killing my vibe. Don’t respond to it!
Already planned to repurpose that corset and establish commonality 😉 the nostrich is also a warrior.
I feel like a battle between you dressed as the badass purple Nostr bird vs your hubby as the lame blue Twitter bird would be good! 😂
So, essentially Twitter Blue versus Nostr Purple ;) This is the way.
I can't wait to see it!

Shhh don’t scramble it! 😂🥚
I love the idea of the ostrich and/or the purple feather being the mascot/symbol for nostr. It reminded me of the White Feather Movement in WWI (a symbol of cowardice) so the Purple Feather would be a good counter-symbol (bravery). I check gpt- nobody has use the purple feather to symbolize anything so let’s take it!
And purple is a libertarian color as well 🙏😎
Technocrats are red.
Tyrants are blue.
Liberty fits neither.
Purple, I choose you 💜
Purple is the best flavor
#nostr not 🥂toaster!
