There can be enough space for men to be masculine and women to be feminine, without rejecting and ostracizing people who don’t vibe with either category. Embrace who you are. If someone rejects that, they can fuck off.
This is true for men in the context of (whichever type of) feminism that rejects masculinity. This is true for women in the face of being pressured to work (or being pressured into motherhood). It’s true for trans people in a world that denies their lived experience.
Indigenous cultures often acknowledge (and respect) an alternative way of identifying oneself, and neurobiological studies show significantly different brain activity and hormones in people who feel different inside vs out.
I have never experienced this feeling, and it would be arrogant to claim that I know much about it.
But I know what it feels like to be a man. It means confidence and standing tall, but that’s very different from abusing your power.
It means respecting (and protecting) the lives and experiences of people around me. It means respecting women’s power, and weakness. It means acknowledging my own strengths and flaws, ones that I share with many of my brothers. Being grounded in masculinity means holding space for the differences between us.
The culture war bullshit is, indeed, bullshit. And pendulums will always swing. But my hope is that, as we move closer to equilibrium, more of us will learn to abide in compassion, and become able to listen without immediately believing OR rejecting the views of those around us, and bring more Light into the lives of those around us. We’re all conditioned by our environment, and it can take immense effort to unravel that conditioning and experience the world for what it is.
I believe in human goodness - it’s why I Bitcoin. It’s why I’m here on Nostr.
But we have a long way to go.

GM FREEDOM TECH!
⚡️ Pleb Spotlight ⚡️
If all hell breaks loose is Nostr our final frequency?
nprofile1qqsw8tha4zrj22njem340rfnktwdjr5lu5achmtrglh4ufhhggg6mwcenxmm9 may have just achieved that frequency with Nostr over HAM Radio.
The term ham radio originated in the 19th century as a derogatory term for operators who were poor at sending Morse code and the name was adopted as a badge of honor. What’s more pleb than that?
Shout-out to the LF for launching HAMstr Alpha!

I just asked Grok 3 “Who is Quiet Warrior on Nostr”
Quiet Warrior is a notable figure within the Nostr community, recognized for their active participation and contributions, particularly in fostering community engagement.
On Nostr, they are known by the public keynpub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4. They’ve gained prominence for coining and promoting the hashtag #plebchain, which started as a way to connect newcomers to the Nostr network and has evolved into a broader symbol of grassroots community strength, often tied to Bitcoin and decentralization ethos.
Quiet Warrior has described their experience on Nostr as liberating, especially compared to their time on Twitter, where they felt overlooked. They see #plebchain as a foundational layer of peer-to-peer networks, reflecting the spirit of Bitcoin’s origins.
Beyond their online presence, Quiet Warrior co-hosts Plebchain Radio, a weekly audio show launched around late 2023 or early 2024, alongside Avi Burra. The podcast focuses on the intersection of Nostr and Bitcoin, featuring discussions with builders, thinkers, and community members—referred to as “plebs”—about developments in the protocol and broader freedom-tech themes. Their work emphasizes empowering everyday users, often highlighting tools like Value 4 Value (V4V) systems integrated with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
While their real-world identity isn’t publicly detailed on Nostr (typical for the platform’s privacy focus), Quiet Warrior’s influence stems from their approachable, community-driven persona rather than any formal authority. They’re a self-described “pleb” who found a voice through Nostr’s open structure.

Feeling such appreciation for Nostr and all the users here.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Simply being here and talking with each other is a small contribution to a better future.

Don’t seek follows. Seek engagers.
In a perfect world my social graph would be wildly productive in a fly wheel fashion, extracting every ounce of Nostr’s potential at the human layer where we lift each other up through reciprocal interaction.
I believe the perfect human network will be the greatest driver to a circular Bitcoin economy. And with that, I’ll continue to contribute to the community in an effort to build that vision anyway I can.

GM SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALS!
How you start your day matters!
How you support our P2P circular economy matters too.
Gentle plebs like nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hc28uk0q make Nostr not just a conversation but a global marketplace.

I loaded the Satoshi Wallet with a few bucks, works smoothly

Satoshi seems the easiest by far. Love Muun however. And if I’m using Astral.Ninja on my MacBook I find GetAlby is the easiest for payment.

Good question and I don’t know. I load up Sats from my Ledger into my wallets. I have 3 lightning wallets I use. BlueWallet, Wallet of Satoshi and Muun. I don’t use Apple Pay in this case.
