*Just Random Thoughts:*
Almost everybody knows that the Government is really bad at managing money.
Yet a very few people have actually realised it from their heart.
There is always a difference between having information about something, and having knowledge about the same thing.
Just because you think you know it, doesn't mean you actually know it.

💪🏼 It's been 2 months since I started hitting the gym
First started with 5kg dumbels, now can lift 15 kgs on one hand. Lost some fat but haven't loose any weight yet (my weight is already "healthy", the trainer says)
I don't know if Bitcoin will touch 1million USD mark before 2K25 or not, but I am positive I will touch my 100 kg bench press target before 2K25 😎
(btw haven't clicked a single pic in the gym yet)

(Come to #Nostr if you don't get bored reading an irritatingly long post:)
Left LinkedIn, left Facebook, left Instagram. Never started using Tiktok.
Using WhatsApp and Telegram only because of professional reason.
Reducing the use of X (Twitter). Will use Discord for only 8 weeks. Don't know anything about any other social media.
Reducing the use of YouTube and Google search but haven't find any reliable alternative yet.
Not because I hate them. In fact, I love them more than Nostr. I found most of these social media platforms pretty decent and usefull in many ways.
For example, Facebook was the first social media I used. I found a lot of good friends there, got a lot of knowledge and informations from different Facebook groups.
YouTube is still my first priority for a detailed To Do video about almost anything. Found all the Bitcoiner communities and all the other Bitcoin related things on Twitter first. In fact, Twitter was the place where I first got introduced to Nostr.
But every decission comes with a trade off; Most importantly an opportunity cost. When we use something or decide to use something, we take the risk of loosing the next best thing we could have instead. And by looking at the opportunity cost of our decision, we can have an idea of how good or how bad the original decision was.
From Fiat to Bitcoin, from Facebook to Nostr, this phenomenon applies to everything. when we accept fiat as money, we loss the opportunity of accepting Bitcoin, hence loss all the advantages of a far superior, more reliable sound money. But when we accept Bitcoin, we just loss the opportunity (?) of using a less reliable, far inferior fiat money or any other crypto that are not capable of providing all the advantages of Bitcoin any way.
Something similar can be seen in case of social media. When we use any traditional, centralized social media, we get some nice looking features, a fancy feeling, some nicely done UI and a relatively smooth experience. But in return, we gradually become a puppet of algorithms, unwillingly become a target of marketing gimmicks, a source of personal data and we also loss the opportunity of getting all the benifits of a totally decentralised protocol. Those "all the benifits" includes thing like sensorship resistance, which is a nice way of ensuring freedom of speech. And vice versa when we actually start using Nostr instead of all these social media platforms.
Of course nostr is not perfect and not yet capable enough to immediately replace all those platforms at once. but just look the trade off! I mean getting non-kyced verified ticks, not having the risk of personal data leak, not having to worry about getting banned, not having to be a puppet of algorithms, a target of advertising, a victim of server demage/hacking etc, just for a little inconvenience of using the nostr client apps/websites?
I don't think there is any logical explanation of not using nostr over other social media platforms, unless we consider being addicted to a certain social media platform (other than nostr because it doesn't have an addictive algo) as a "logical explanation".

This is the fate of every fiat currency. Don't be surprised when one day your currency will lose it's value too like this.

1) Amethyst has this cool feature of getting two option as 'Boost' and 'Quote' when we click on the repost button. That makes quote posting much easier than copy-pasting the note ID. We need that here.
2) There is some issue with the Zap function. It often says "provided payment details are invalid" while trying to zap somebody.
3) Like the "List" function on Twitter, we should get an option of categorizing the profiles we are following so that contents don't get mixed up. I think Facebook also has something similar where we can actually categorize our friends.

★ Finished translating the scripts of #[0] into Assamese. If everything goes well then Iris will be the first ever nostr client to have Assamese on its list of languages. 😊
Yeah, that's the power of open-sourced things. Even a totally random guy from a remote village can contribute to its development.
One thing the Assamese people really like about the Facebook app is that it is the only social media app that has a near-perfect Assamese translation, even better than Google. Soon we will achieve that goal here in nostr.
You can also contribute to translating the app to your own language, or review the translations by visiting the link below :

Previously I thought having multiple reaction buttons would be great. Like Facebook. But now I think Zap nand Repost would be better. Also, I think the option of reposting with a quote is necessary. Like the Twitter's Quote Tweet option. I don't know if it's already available but I can't find the option of reposting with my own quote with the clients I am using. If I had that option, I would surely repost this post with this comment as my Quote.
