Good morning beautiful people

Lately I’ve been thinking more seriously about building a more independent life—outside the system, outside borders. I'm curious how people are actually using Nostr and Bitcoin to earn a living, especially from places outside the US.
Is there a marketplace here? Can you sell goods, services, or content in a way that actually works? I'd love to hear from those who’ve made the leap—where did you start, what worked, what didn’t?
There’s a lot of potential here, and I feel ready to contribute. Just looking for the right direction to begin.

Back to this beautiful platform.

Happy Birthday, @Derek Ross!

Today, I marry the love of my life. Through every high, every low, we’ve built something real. Like Bitcoin, we’re in it for the long haul—unbreakable, unstoppable, forever. 💍❤️ #Love #Bitcoin #ForeverTogether

What an amazing day it is.

This year has been amazing! #Nostr came into my life, and the warm welcome I received at the start of the year was incredible. Then people like @jack, @The Daniel 🖖, @Sergio, @Joe Martin, @Jessica Chasteen, @bitcoin.rocks, @Seth , @bitcoinlimit followed me, which was such a boost. A month ago, I started my first Lightning channel with @Alby Hub, and next month, I’m marrying the love of my life. Feeling truly blessed—couldn’t ask for a better life! 💜

Hey everyone! 🎉 Next week, I’m getting married! 💍😇 It’s an exciting time, and I’m grateful to have you all here. Looking forward to celebrating, and thanks for the zaps! 💜⚡

As a Primal user, I recently discovered that if I don't renew my subscription, my current Primal name will become available for someone else to purchase.

This raises serious concerns about identity and security. If someone sends sats to my former Primal name, they will inadvertently be sending them to the new owner, potentially compromising my financial security and identity.

I'm surprised that Primal releases usernames after subscription expiration, unlike other platforms like Gmail, which retain email addresses even after inactivity or deletion.

Similarly, with Nostr identity, if I don't pay, someone else can acquire my name, potentially hijacking my identity and causing harm.

I hope Primal can reconsider their policies to prioritize user security and identity protection.

What are your thoughts on this? Share your concerns and suggestions.
