I can see now this was obviously an emotional response. While the feelings I had at this time are still valid, I’ve thought a lot about how I want my public presence on the internet to be.
Ultimately, I realized it doesn’t have to be a black or white/all or nothing thing. I just need to be slightly less unhinged and not cryptographically sign all of my batshit crazy thoughts to live on the internet forever. With that said, it’s great to be back in the amazingly weird corner of the internet that is nostr. This is where I belong.
quotingLike many others have already articulated, the Charlie Kirk assassination yesterday was a turning point for me personally. It shocked me and instilled a sense of fear in me that quite honestly, I needed.

Last night and this morning the only thing I can think about is the safety and security of the people closest to me. That is my number one priority.
Unfortunately, that led me to the conclusion that I will likely no longer use this npub since I’ve doxxed myself. This makes me feel extremely sad. Nostr has allowed me to be my true and authentic self and I thought I would be able to balance that with personal privacy, but I currently don’t feel it is wise to be putting myself out here like that.
To everyone in this community, myself included, it’s time to go full cypherpunk. Re-read Eric Hughes manifesto if you have to. We need to quit fucking around with the fiat games. That world is collapsing as we speak. What will your MSTR shares be worth when the dollar is worthless? Now is the time to embrace open protocols and freedom tech. Not because we want to, but because we have to.
Who knows maybe at some point in the future I might pop back on here but until then:
see you space cowboy…
