My dad used to say this to try to minimize the sting of not getting what you want: “if we had eggs, we could make eggs and bacon - if we had bacon”
Well, i’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 “commies” and “normies” and “trannies” and “joos” and “suits” that some of you shit your pants over regularly as if that’s a healthy mentality. It’s still heading towards what i personally believe is its destiny, full-blown global money. So that’s cool. Could be wrong, but that’s my highest conviction in terms of any belief regarding the potentially distant future
BUT, and sorry but i’m just being honest here… i am not so sure about nostr. I’m not saying it’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 other’s digital company and many build things together on this dynamic, incredible, open protocol. It has a lot of potential for sure… but stay humble, i guess that’s ultimately what i’m trying to say.
Think for yourself and be honest with yourself. Double check three times daily that your head’s not up your ass and you’re not in a small deadend cult-de-sac, and if in doing so you find that you are, genuinely assess whether you’re truly ok with that
Personally i’m not ok with that and right now i’m feeling like that’s sorta what’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 that’s what i’m gonna do. If history is any indication, i’ll be back shortly. But in this present moment i hope i can give myself more time this time. I’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 i’ve been having visions of someday raising, and stop embracing diversions
My sincerest apologies for expressing such uncomfortable feelings. Don’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 🤣)
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. I’m rooting for us, i promise
But for now… peace! 🖖🌽

Nostr and bitcoin were not possible except by the foolish perseverance of gifted, outcast dreamers who loved freedom. Our present foolishness will likewise be the foundation for freedom technologies not yet invented that liberate people not yet born. Keep building, keep dreaming.
