But if not, that&#39;s cool, too. Not stressing.<br/><br/>Crypto was not meant to be an &#34;investment,&#34; but to be used as permissionless, peer-to-peer digital cash. It&#39;s for making transactions. <br/><br/>Greed is what ruins the crypto experience. <br/><br/>For anyone else reading this, I say don&#39;t stake your life on high hopes for wealth that comes from owning traceable Bitcoin. Play with it, use it wisely -- but know that it is not going to make your eldest fans come true. <br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1s53fm22vqkx97el0ufd3uavu43ddqjc5duapymhmfhzg2gyh6ezqq997vm" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1s53…97vm</a></span> </div> I’m either one of the new wealthy elite or an idiot who rode bitcoin to zero. <br/><br/>There is no in between. </blockquote> 2026-02-06T18:54:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgtzazhdt5fwnym5g43sp9vy7j9cswnryvaga9svcznhg8p6l40egzyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghyzj44w0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspkyh4fcy80zfm3spu8vqu9aen8rpj5lmasj8dtn7q4p9t8aqkgpqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg82n5zg'>nevent1q…n5zg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Signal is the best first step for normies to get a taste of privacy.<br/><br/>I use it a lot.<br/><br/>But I also use SimpleX, Session, Matrix, and XMPP. <br/><br/> 2025-12-19T02:21:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsww6llm26l470mtffr9wj9nqmgn3sjnfpefpf85n4d777jvn6pcsczyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghyf3x7cc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0jrseqhskchcvrh4tfg2ua8f6mtrkf3pkpn47czkv9tlfydrrcrcppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d53j0ac3'>nevent1q…0ac3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m not a fan of his either, but was an interesting interview on Tucker&#39;s podcast. <br/><br/> 2025-12-04T19:11:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs08tjentlafyxvf0frj68v4dtr2zlhe60elcumkahdru8aj52zcvczyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghyskqd5x What is your personal desktop computer&#39;s operating system?<br/><br/>(1) Windows 11<br/><br/>(2) Windows 10<br/><br/>(3) MacOS<br/><br/>(4) Linux<br/><br/>(5) other <br/><br/> 2025-10-15T21:12:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswp57edsr3vlqc3trs5phncrv43acasx0h0a6kgax3mayv4nc69gszyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghyaxk2l9 Worshiping the crotch god leads to all manner of evil.<br/><br/>This idolatry leads to personality disorders, broken families, and murder.<br/><br/>It&#39;s the fast track to hell. 2025-09-15T10:42:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsztug5wh4pgshasevqcpktf4j868h5yrpfsjn3en0dhyuzqyjpv7szyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghy9hsd79 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfjv3t09a7y84m3cfmm9xx9yma68dkznryjrfhhhtk63amtaez9vc2ml93x'>nevent1q…l93x</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never had ghee before.<br/><br/>I make popcorn with bacon grease, lard, and tallow -- but never even tasted ghee. <br/><br/> 2025-09-15T00:13:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs28yvsdz3evhwcfmqdshntk5e032wyzcnzvlz0avxc6j5lhm3juwgzyzwkqarkhnsl4yl5xluuwrzqkvedz79s8l2ryzpqrc44ng9v02ghyfqfpmt True story:<br/><br/>I once played basketball with a learning-disabled teen who literally could not tell the difference between left and right, which was a problem for executing our plays.<br/><br/>I did not make fun of him, but tried to help.<br/><br/>I said to hold out his hands and see which one formed an &#34;L&#34; with his thumb.

It&#39;s easy, polished, and intuitive right out of the gate. Works perfectly, too. <br/><br/>In these times, I consider it a great win when I onboard someone onto Signal.<br/><br/>I actively use Signal, Session, SimpleX, XMPP, and Matrix. I&#39;ll use whatever FOSS, e2ee messenger people are willing to use. Again, Signal seems easiest (not easy) for onboarding. <br/><br/>I just loathe SMS.
