Anyone experiencing problems with @nprofile…0j5p , just got my DCA cancelled because of an unsuccessful bank deposit, but i just bought some through instant buy a few days ago.
It's been set up for about 6 months now with no issues until now and my bank balance is sufficient.
Tried to re-enable the weekly buy and it was declined again.

Is my bank blocking bitcoin purchases??

I'm not going to lie, this is my first cycle REALLY being invested and understanding what bitcoin is.
I was around in "crypto" back in 2018 after hearing about it from a friend but not doing my research. Left a few hundred dollars on coinbase and called it a day.
A switch flipped last year after I saw BTC pumping on the news in March and decided to really start researching it. I read the bitcoin standard, started learning more, and everything clicked. Normie -> Maxi happened really fast.
I've never felt calmer in my life since.

Since joining nostr I've just been trying to take in information and see what it is about, it really is mind blowing.
It's refreshing how real everything feels compared to other social media spaces. I never really posted or used many others anyway but its just nice to see the originality / authenticity here.
I'm trying to think how I can bring value to others, but I've been enjoying my time just reading things here and zapping people when I see something cool.
Also, nos2x is pretty awesome, and so are you

Critical as in the sense of using evidence and facts to make sound conclusions and inferences...
and being able to solve problems logically
I think we are in the midst of a "learned helplessness" epidemic with our youth where they won't even TRY to think deeply about a subject

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and the zaps. It's honestly crazy to see the amount of replies already.

I'm Mr. T, a math teacher turned bitcoiner.
My goals with nostr are:
To connect and converse with other bitcoiners
Share personal insights related to bitcoin
Ask questions about the future of bitcoin
Do my part to help further bitcoin education across the world
Learn from others on here
As someone who is very passionate about education and teaching students to be critical thinkers in my everyday life, and someone who is also passionate about bitcoin being a tool to improve people's lives, I feel like these two roads have to cross somehow...
Maybe this isn't the best space for "educating" others since most people on here are bitcoiners already, but yet again there probably are a bunch of like minded people who want to see a better future.

I should add, in addition to Robin's podcast, the conversation specifically with @npub1k7v…c04l was what inspired me to get started on here. I've seen so much good news around Nostr and am very excited to hopefully have somewhere to connect with other bitcoiners.
Jeff and Robin's conversation was so fruitful and really inspired me to join this new wave of information.

Merry Christmas fellow builders... this is my first post here on nostr.
I've been hearing a lot about this through various podcasts, especially @npub1mrm…eyr9, I'm excited to start connecting with fellow bitcoiners.
In the real world I'm a math / cs teacher and a casual video game streamer on twitch.
However, neither of these spaces are optimal to discuss bitcoin related topics, so I've found my way here.
Going to try to shoot for one note a day going forward!
Any tips for a new nostr user to get connected? (Set up with primal on android so far)
