I am one who wishes to maintain a degree of anonimity and privacy, yet simultaneously has regular urges to over share and unintentionally doxx myself. From time to time I write a detailed post of something I find interesting and then delete it before sharing because it gives out too much of "me"... πŸ˜…
I'm Mexican/American, born in Dallas and raised in Cuernavaca. I'm bilingual. Dual nationality. I went to to a top 10 leadership military school. I was in a coma for a week and a half from a skateboard accident a week before graduating high-school. I lost my sense of smell and taste from that accident and regained taste a month after, and smell 4 years later when a horse kicked the back of my head. I played polo for 16 years before I became a bartender. Now I enjoy cycling and golf as my hobbies. I've been social media sober since 2020 until this time last year when I joined nostr. It was one of the best decisions I've made, πŸ«‘πŸ«‚πŸ»

I bet when you got kicked in the head by the horse (!) It *rebooted* your olfactory. Check this video out: A family member sent this to me a few years back when I lost taste and smell from the rona. Doing the flick trick in this video I recovered both senses in short order. Much less dramatic than your experience but I immediately thought of this when reading your intro here and imagine that the same underlying physiological *correction* occurred when you got kicked.
Hi, I'm cynic, I post my stream of consciousness thoughts on nostr because I can. I am not always right or tactful. I believe in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is more than just number go up. It will literally disarm a lot of evil in the world. We are going to witness justice. Just need to be patient, and humble. πŸ€™ #bitcoin image
I am the kind of person who finds receiving gifts stressful. Call me a narcissist. To me, gift giving is a moment where a person's impression of me is laid bare. A gift says so much; who the giver thinks I am, and what values they believe I hold. Receiving a gift is a moment of glaring clarity, a moment that displays the distance between who I am, and how I am perceived. As may logically follow, I have always found introductions difficult as well. How does one introduce themselves, summarize a lifetime's journey, and possibly attempt to present a concise picture of who they are, absent context. Perhaps this is why I present as a dog on the internet. A simplified and caricaturized persona that attempts to disarm, while offering a touch of the friendly non-toxic communication style I choose to use. I am now 3 paragraphs into this introduction and have seemingly failed to do much beyond make my therapist upset that I never open up this much during our sessions... So who am I? I am a Bitcoiner. I am a recovered nihilist who has seen the light and leapt into it. I am the kind of mild autist who has his brain broken reading "How to Take Smart Notes", and must spend the next several months completely reassessing his relationship with the information he encounters in the world. I am a person who is unsatisfied if I end a day and do not feel like I have improved as a member of the Human race, an obsessively curious individual who cannot leave stones unturned. Happy to meet you! image
Howdy, I'm Spencer I do a podcast called Bowl After Bowl every Tuesday night with my wife @DuhLaurien βœŒπŸ»πŸ‘½πŸ’¨ where we talk about weed legalization news, lightning node operation, bowling and value for value content delivery.

Golbez here. Using a nym. Came here through Bitcoin and stay for no algorithms shoveling stuff in front of me. I like being my own moderator. I hate herd mentality, be you and have your own opinions Outside of Bitcoin stuff I’m into music (huge metal head), outdoors stuff, shooting, video games and other computer stuff like Linux. #intoductions
This is one of my favorite threads of all time. I found a lot of plebs to follow here. Always worth a repost (and thank you @π•Ύπ–Šπ–— π•Ύπ–‘π–Šπ–Šπ–•π–ž for the original note)

Hey, I’m Adrian! Massage therapy is my trade and I narrate audiobooks in my spare time. My lady partner of 12 years also narrates audiobooks and we oftentimes tag team projects together to increase production values ie. multiple narrators, music, and (sometimes) sound fx. We’d love to create β€œFlash Fictions” where we write up a quick script and produce it into video using AI tools while we narrate and add sound fx to really heighten the storytelling! I love movies, games, TRPGs, books, but what ties these all together is a love for storytelling. The stories we engage with teach us more than anything else. I’ve been bothered by the lack of integrity with our fiat art. @Saifedean Ammous's chapter in the bitcoin standard about how art is affected by money was so poignant and deeply resonating. I hope to fuel my art through bitcoin and walk us in the other direction away from the needless condescending, cynical, and political attitude our art has fallen into. That was longer than expected! Thank you for reading.
Hello, my name is Luis, I live in Brazil and I have a common fiat job. My dream is to be able to help in the adoption of bitcoin by educating people and one day be able to have bitcoin as my only job. I've been in Nostr for 6 months and I'm loving it. currently Nostr is the only social network I use. No ads and no bullshit!
Long time Nostr user under another npub, I'm a civil servant who will bespeaking at the adopting bitcoin conference in El Salvador this year. I've never taken any public-facing roles before, but seeing what I see I felt I couldn't be silent any longer. I plan on speaking about the erosion of state sovereignty and what you can do today to help make your government more open and transparent.
Annonymal is the first #heavymetal band that sings about #Bitcoin history, philosophy and goals. Annonymal was born on October 31st, 2022. We'll have our second anniversary soon. Our initial plan was to record and release the first Bitcoin-only heavy metal album in human history this year, 2024. Unfortunately, that might not happen. We have been able to stack sats over these two years and we are going to start recording our album this month and it will be ready to launch by next October 31st. However, we are considering postponing the release to October 2025 because we currently lack the budget to promote the album properly. The songs we released up to this day were just pre-productions to show you the musical direction we are heading in. The album will bring more mature content. So, here's the deal: if we can raise enough sats to release the album this year and promote it as best as possible, we will do it. But if we don't get the funds we need, we will keep the album unpublished and wait one more year to release it, hopefully with the budget to promote it properly. Because of this, we will release this note periodically on NOSTR to try to engage you guys in helping us make it happen. You can donate using LN (annonymal@getalby.com) or the on-chain address (bc1qq06tpkugwle76wwj50u5gcvr0mv5ettmeflryg). Our goal is to raise close to 6.000 USD (six thousand USD), to work on a realistic but good budget for our needs. Every sat counts and is much appreciated. We understand that not everyone likes the idea of a Heavy Metal Bitcoin band, but this isn't about those who don't get it. Our mission is about orange-pilling others and having fun during the process, at least from our point of view. We are also open to discussing partnerships and having a patron on our team. So, if you want to talk about it, just slide into our DMs. Let's rock the world by spreading the word! Thanks for being an awesome community! Horns Up For Satoshi
