GM ☕
It's nice to see old friends and acquaintances popping up here.
As a child of the 70s I grew up when you didn't have a "digital home". But when you moved to a new place, it was almost if you had died in the old neighborhood and were born again in the new, making all new friends.
I ditched Twitter at the acquisition and arrived here not much after, finding a lot of new faces, an exceptionally vibrant energy, and a return to many of the themes (and memes) of the older bitcoin community that got crowded out in the hellscape that Twitter had become.
I had moved to a much better neighborhood!
Oddly, though, so many of the really interesting people I interacted with there seemed content to stay. So it was again like that childhood experience of letting go of the old and embracing the new.
Recently, however, there has been a steady drip of refugees arriving, among them people I had either lost contact with or just old familiar names it was nice to see again.
Anyway, this was a long-winded way of saying hello (and GM) to the newcomers, come on in, the water is fine. 😄
