My dad used to say this to try to minimize the sting of not getting what you want: āif we had eggs, we could make eggs and bacon - if we had baconā
Well, iām 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 ācommiesā and ānormiesā and ātranniesā and ājoosā and āsuitsā that some of you shit your pants over regularly as if thatās a healthy mentality. Itās still heading towards what i personally believe is its destiny, full-blown global money. So thatās cool. Could be wrong, but thatās my highest conviction in terms of any belief regarding the potentially distant future
BUT, and sorry but iām just being honest hereā¦ i am not so sure about nostr. Iām not saying itās 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 otherās 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 thatās ultimately what iām trying to say.
Think for yourself and be honest with yourself. Double check three times daily that your headās not up your ass and youāre not in a small deadend cult-de-sac, and if in doing so you find that you are, genuinely assess whether youāre truly ok with that
Personally iām not ok with that and right now iām feeling like thatās sorta whatās 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 thatās what iām gonna do. If history is any indication, iāll be back shortly. But in this present moment i hope i can give myself more time this time. Iām 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 iāve been having visions of someday raising, and stop embracing diversions
My sincerest apologies for expressing such uncomfortable feelings. Donāt wanna harsh the vibe here any further. This is 99% a me-problem to be absolutely clear (probably comes through loud and clear huh š¤£)
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. Iām rooting for us, i promise
But for nowā¦ peace! šš½
