My dad used to say this to try to minimize the sting of not getting what you want: ā€œif we had eggs, we could make eggs and bacon - if we had baconā€

Well, iā€™m not sure who needs to hear this, but it could be all of us

Just because you and me and others see amazing potential in something does not mean it will come to fruition, especially not in the way(s) we expect

Bitcoin has already shown us this by going from for cypherpunks by cypherpunks, to being for everyone - including the ā€œcommiesā€ and ā€œnormiesā€ and ā€œtranniesā€ and ā€œjoosā€ and ā€œsuitsā€ that some of you shit your pants over regularly as if thatā€™s a healthy mentality. Itā€™s still heading towards what i personally believe is its destiny, full-blown global money. So thatā€™s cool. Could be wrong, but thatā€™s my highest conviction in terms of any belief regarding the potentially distant future

BUT, and sorry but iā€™m just being honest hereā€¦ i am not so sure about nostr. Iā€™m not saying itā€™s due to the predominant topics of conversation or the onboarding flow or the funding structure for development or really anything in particular

But the truth is that this is a niche community on the internet. A very small niche where a lot of incredibly smart and talented people enjoy each otherā€™s digital company and many build things together on this dynamic, incredible, open protocol. It has a lot of potential for sureā€¦ but stay humble, i guess thatā€™s ultimately what iā€™m trying to say.

Think for yourself and be honest with yourself. Double check three times daily that your headā€™s not up your ass and youā€™re not in a small deadend cult-de-sac, and if in doing so you find that you are, genuinely assess whether youā€™re truly ok with that

Personally iā€™m not ok with that and right now iā€™m feeling like thatā€™s sorta whatā€™s going on here. I am certain the potential is real, and i hope the potential for the potential to be realized is high. I guess i just need a break!

So thatā€™s what iā€™m gonna do. If history is any indication, iā€™ll be back shortly. But in this present moment i hope i can give myself more time this time. Iā€™m a poor mfer living in obscenely expensive fiat world. I have to focus my energy on productivity for the sake of my wife and myself and the son and daughter iā€™ve been having visions of someday raising, and stop embracing diversions

My sincerest apologies for expressing such uncomfortable feelings. Donā€™t wanna harsh the vibe here any further. This is 99% a me-problem to be absolutely clear (probably comes through loud and clear huh šŸ¤£)

Pura vida, gfy, and keep stacking those sats little by little mfers. Keep doing and building cool shit and realizing more of that potential day in and day out. Iā€™m rooting for us, i promise

But for nowā€¦ peace! šŸ––šŸŒ½
