Nostr is rebellion against soft-core censorship
A social media algorithm works by stealth, nontransparent yet all-pervasive. It is an online social credit system, rewarding our adherence to the swimlane of our core social identity, penalizing exploration of our other dimensions not with fines or overt punishment but with the sound of crickets. Movement outside that swimlane, self-exploration or investigation of themes our inherently multidimensional self are rewarded with the soft-core censorship.
It’s not that certain messages are switched off, more that an invisible hand turns down the volume that the ear of others can nearly hear.
Soft-core censorship is as insidious as actual censorship because, through its subtlety, it often skips unnoticed.
Nostr represents rebellion against the very notion of a single core identity or personality beyond which we are invisibly encouraged not to stray, explore or honor.
There is no hidden agenda to keep you on the app. No punishment for linking to links outside the app, nor of speaking about things for which you are not “known”
It is imperfect, new, raw, intimate in ways good and bad, like the bulletin boards of the early 90s. But for all it’s teething pains, I believe it’s rebellion against soft-core censorship is as valuable as it’s rebellion against censorship and centralization itself.

Many #Bitcoin wives are asking this.
In my humble opinion, a good middle ground is to have certain thresholds that, once hit, unlock purchases you have been meaning to make.
Could be a new kitchen appliance, a new car, or a new house, depending on your stack and price milestones.
This way, you take emotion out of the equation, and have a plan to follow. Important to make the distinction that you aren’t “selling” sats to get more dollars, you are “spending” sats on things that improve your quality of life.

Simple trick: don't tell your wife how much you hold. That is so important, I can't overstate this. If your wife is still caught up in a high time preference, fiat mindset and doesn't understand Bitcoin, it's best to keep your holdings to yourself.

If you’re a Bitcoiner who’s getting rich and you’re wondering what to spend your money on might I suggest a family?
Take it from me, I’ve experienced all the fancy shit and everything else is completely meaningless.

True. Invest in experiences and there is no greater and more rewarding experience then family with kid(s).

I’m still struggling with the idea to get financial and location independence first before starting with kids

I spent a few days on each taking in the vibe.
X is nothing but vitriol and bots. Engagement is just how many people react to your notes. There actually isn't any conversation, just people talking at each other.
Bluesky is performance theatre. The people seem nice and polite but the notes are just virtue signalling to each other. No one is talking about their real life or anything beyond the superficial.
Nostr is a odd collection of Bitcoiners, techies, and misfits who hang out on the edges. There is actual conversation and exchanges of ideas. People talk about their day and aspirations.

I guess I win a prize for talking about my real life. I just saddled another poor soul here with a small part of my life story.
I like Nostr, and I use it almost exclusively now. Don’t forget to add paranoid people to your list of types who hang out here. I’m certified paranoid. When I went through my marriage annulment through the Catholic Church, they had me have a session with a psychologist who told me at the end that I’m paranoid. Initially I was pissed about this assessment, but then I realized she was right.. I’m suspect of many people and organizations. Now, I wear it like a badge of honor. Being paranoid fits in well here and it fits in well with embracing Bitcoin. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. 😃

Well, you know, just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not after you.

Freedom promotes real conversion. We have no algos, bots, or mods looking over our shoulders. We're just humans being human.

How are you going to separate money from state when you can’t even separate the bullshit from your own mind?
Sovereignty is an inside job. You must first be sovereign in your own mind. Stoic. Bitcoin is an instrument to arrive there in the physical.
You need both.
If you’re too busy judging what everyone is for or against around you, you’re trapped.
Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners.
You’re welcome.
