I don’t know you. You don’t know me. So this is probably more like two monologues speaking as if it is a conversation. And I do not have a level of foresight nor do I know what other people are go...

so delete it then. I know enough about you to know you're a bit o a narcissist.
you keep whining about social media and how you're going to delete this and that but you're still here. do you want an outpouring of grief and wails for you to stay because you're too important?
nah, nobody cares and you won't be missed.
its not up to me or anyone else to validate your existence. nobody owes you anything, nobidy said life was fair, and nobody cares if its not. toughen up, buttercup

On the ground here in Kenya 🇰🇪 no one cares about the price. Everyone we have on-boarded onto nostr:nprofile1qy8hwumn8ghj7cfwdehhxtnvdakqzrthwden5te0v9j8yefwwd6sqgzlvmtavrztdc6lha6xk3ljdmez3npjg...

that's exactly right mate. i am in a western country and get paid very well in fiat, but I shift it to btc as quick as I can.
not many retailers accept it yet, but I'm trying to protect my wealth as I hold views that are upsetting to the powers that be.
we don't have talk of digital id yet, but if thry get it work in the UK guaranteed it'll be worldwide before you know it.

I find it ironic that "we" tend to look down on places like Kenya as being poor and backwards, no offence. But very soon some dude in a Nigerian slum that has already adopted bitcoin will be looking with pity at a lot of people in the west as they try clamber onboard when its 250k and soaring

BTC Sessions · 2d
I've had multiple people ask me for help getting into Bitcoin within the past month... During this price dump. I've never had this during a bear market before. Is anyone else experiencing this, or j...

yeah, its normal. cracking 100k got a lot attention, and now its in the 60s many want a piece expecting it to go again and worried they'd already missed the boat.
tells me it will surge again this year as demand rises. took me a couple of months from looking into bitcoin to making my first buy, so April-May could be good.

I don't like this bull/bear approach as I think bitcoun flips that on its head too. it's either high or low adoption phase, and what you consider a bear actually means a cheaper on ramp for newbies so now's the time to evangalise.
who cares if they come onthinking it's like shares? once they're in and learning they'll start to see the light.

oh to have your level of foresight, Edwin. I'll employ you if you think you know what Im going to say before I do.
Best work on your comprehension though, old chum. I didn't advocate violence, merely said its the likely conclusion. Have you never read a history book? It always ends in violence, so best be prepared for it.

And don't be a drama queen. What trauma? I've lived and worked in 3rd world countries for years. People who watched their families raped and murdered can claim trauma, although very few use it as an excuse. Being upset by hurty words on the inter webs is indeed a hallmark of the weak twat.
Perhaps bkuesky might be more your speed?

well, mental disorders are mostly self inflicted to my view.
if you're so weak that some twat's opinion on socials makes you that upset, then I don't know
words are not violence. but real violence is likely coming to many countries. i fear most in the west are nowhere near equipped to deal with it.

securing your bitcoin is one thing, defending it is going to be the key when no government or law enforcement can/will help

I agree in person discussions are more fruitful, but on the other hand you and I would likely never cross paths in the real world to have a conversation.
People are the problem, and Nostr will never solve that.
Give it time and this too will devolve into "fk you", " no fk you, moron" slanging matches.
In the real world you'd get punched in the face, but online nothing happens

I agree people are definitely making themselves crazy, but the craziness has nothing to do with the tech. The crazy comes from not knowing yourself and what your destination is.
Figure that out and your life can be made incredibly focused and simple.
But if you don't know your purpose then you'll wander around lost and get distracted by any shiny new tech.
