Just getting to low key vibe with other bitcoiners is such a gift. Very few other groups of people are willing to do the deep dives in conversation and willing to really contemplate and question creatively together which always produces the most interesting and amazing conversations.

Yes. I always find it easier to have an actual convo with other Bitcoiners, even if you disagree.
A really good bible study has very similar attributes. No way to know it all. Constantly finding a new angle you’ve never seen before. Underlying goal is to live a better life aligned with truth.
Bitcoin genuinely changes lives and when you find someone where you live that gets it.. it’s really so much better than frivolous relationships and friendships.. not many people around where I live so NOSTR really helps! 🤙🏻

Yes, at times it does. Depends on what mood you might be in at the moment. 🤣 Big fan btw. Keep it up brother 🫡💪 Oh, and GM. ☀️
Meeting a local Bitcoin user was pretty special for me. Despite having different ideals: we both desire #Bitcoin to lead to success for humanity. Lovely 😊

Probably because they don't need to "win" as they've already won

Hold on to that as long as you can. It's a beautiful thing to speak openly about the topics that touch your soul. Long ago when I was in my late teens, I would have these conversations with my close friends. We enjoyed the intellectual exploration of all kinds of topics with absolutely no filters. That all changed when they went to university and I did not. Despite the fact that I would still read the same or similar books, had the same interest in metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, theology and whatever else, they stopped engaging in conversations with me on these things. To the point where my one friend (best man at my wedding), told me he didn't want to talk to me about these topics. He spent 8 years in college on history and philosophy degrees and he attributed doing so to our conversations and my encouragement. I'm convinced that his time in school simultaneously crushed his curiosity and filled him with a feeling of superiority that make him feel like he was above whatever I might have to say or think about a topic that I am well read on but "uneducated" in. I greatly miss those conversations.
