Okay, some shameless self promotion. I have built an online store with the express purpose of growing the marketplace of lightning payment capable businesses.

Zap Nomad

Travel gear and accessories for the bitcoin-minded traveler. Bitcoin and Lightning payments accepted.

It will grow. I’ll get smarter as it goes along and the store will get smarter. And if you are really in the mood to shop, check out

I’m catching up with my podcast playlist that I use to keep me sane during my fiat job. The latest interview with @calle on What Bitcoin Did is excellent. Just the history of eCash alone is worth the listen. For Xoomers like me, these discussions continue to help my fight against the fiat paradigms that haunt my brain even when I don’t know it. #bitcoin #hodl

Just in case anyone needs a reminder. #bitcoin #bitcoindeaths #hodl

A piece of vlogging history. #vlog #vlogstr #trivia

Spent the whole day at work unable to check charts until end of day. Not a single person walked up to me and said “Have you seen bitcoin today?” It means I am surrounded by no-coiners and it’s a sad realization that there is so much work left to do! #bitcoin #hodl

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

This is long overdue for many. Lawsuits may follow from those that lost pay or jobs due to the requirements. I was denied a raise at a state agency for the sole reason of declining to take a covid test. I have long since left that organization behind me, but others were not so lucky. This is one of the experiences that led me to #bitcoin. I realized that I didn't want others to control my income for anything other than merit and performance. Income that can be manipulated for compliance and control is not #freedom.

Just a gray rainy day, but it is a soothing sound on a metal roof and it makes the green come to life.

Howdy Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ryan and I finally made the jump into the NOSTR world recently. Thanks to all those that have already followed this noob after a just a few posts! I started podcasting back in 2018 because at the time that was the only way to add to conversations about topics I enjoyed. Eventually the push in the podcast market to lean into video and mainstream platforms made it more stressful. Then, the covid scam blacked pilled me a bit and the show has been on hiatus for a few years now. Since then, I finally discovered and embraced Bitcoin, and I've been involved in the development of mobile apps to meant to give the power of information back to the users rather than the algorithm or the mainstream news filters. Thanks to Walker and The Bitcoin Podcast, I discovered NOSTR and decided to give Primal a try. I'm immediately hooked. I see the potential, the opportunity for funding, and the passion and excitement for new development and new conversations. AND a voice! Zaps give the power to users, not to the algo. It's really awesome. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome so far and I will definitely keep finding new people to follow and engage with. I like to talk about the paranormal, conspiracy (it's all fact these days), social psychology and philosophy, current events, bitcoin (at any hour of the day), and I like a good meme to make me laugh and think. I'm here for it! #introductions #nostr #bitcoin #conspiracytheory #paranormal #nostrnoob
