To me, NOSTR feels like a big party where I don’t know anyone. The person who invited me already went home to sleep a long time ago, and they didn’t know anyone either. Now I’m just here, in the middle of the party, alone, having a drink and listening to people talk about bitcoin, nostr, freedom... Every now and then a small group walks by talking about other stuff. And I’m just here, standing around, enjoying the vibe.

I want to start a business on my own, but what? At the same time I can do a lot of great things, I think everyone can do better.
That feeling sucks.
I feel I am always almost there, but never there also.

A ideia é essa sim, porém não nesse momento ainda cara. Por enquanto eu vejo o #bitcoin como uma reserva de valor para um futuro mais longe um pouco. f
Para uso imediato, como no seu exemplo, você pode passar sufoco. O btc ainda tá muito volátil. Pode ser que quando você precisar da grana ela esteja 80% negativa! Aí te lasca a vida!
Eu penso de 5 anos pra cima e isso me ajuda a acalmar o coração (porque é foda). Então, sempre que cai eu tento comprar mais do que compro normalmente (que é bem pouquinho, infelizmente). E assim segue o baile.
Não penso nem usar nem vender por enquanto. Só acumular patrimônio em bitcoin mesmo pra ter caixa lá frente.

I feel very frustrated working with the internet for almost 30 years, having seen everything emerge, understanding deeply how all the technologies work, and not being able to make money directly from the internet, like a lot of people who barely know what they’re talking about do.
I’m not even talking about becoming a millionaire. Having some extra income that would allow me to invest and fulfill some small desires would be more than enough, but I can’t even achieve that.
When I try to come up with a business idea (and I’ve tried dozens of times), it seems like I don’t know anything, I have nothing interesting to share, or I only have things that no one will want.
And look how things are, in the company where I work (a huge development company), I am seen as a specialist, everyone comes to me for advice or to gather opinions, and they see me as a great reference in my field. I am very respected indeed.
So, really, I don’t know why I can’t create any kind of online business… I don’t know if I need help, if I need to study more, or if I need to forget about this subject and focus on other things…
But it is really frustrating!

I've been addicted to social media for a while now, and it's been bothering me, but I kept procrastinating and pretending everything was fine.
But, you know... the amount of time I've been wasting scrolling through TikTok and Instagram was getting ridiculous!
So, I removed all the shortcuts from my browser, deleted all the apps from my phone, and decided to take a real break from it all!
I kept only LinkedIn for professional purposes, NOSTR (because, why not?), and YouTube. My behavior on YouTube is much healthier; I don't watch shorts. I consume a lot of technical material for work or learning about topics I'm genuinely interested in as hobbies. Things like economics, ancient history, prehistory, and so on...
Let's see how far I can take this detox. The next step is to cut down on gaming too. Fortnite is super fun to play, but if I let myself, I can lose hours on it daily.
Time to do something useful with all this extra time, right?

I think one of the things I love most about NOSTR is testing out the apps people come up with. Honestly, that's my vibe outside of NOSTR too. I'm a natural "early adopter"! I'm always trying out new things, learning, discovering... It's super cool!
The latest client I'm testing is called "Yakihonne" and it's amazing! It approaches NOSTR in a completely different way from the traditional "Twitter/X" style, and it's visually stunning too!

The heat here in Brazil is almost unbearable. In my region (Maringá, in the interior of Paraná), it's extremely hot, dry, and the air quality is terrible because of a huge wildfire that, although happening far away, is sending all the smoke over here.
Air conditioning has gone from being a luxury item to an essential at home. I even took the opportunity to install solar panels all over my roof to generate energy and keep everything running without going broke!
And on top of all that, we’re in the middle of municipal elections to choose the next city councilors and mayor. I feel like a pig choosing the barbecue chef who will skin me for cracklings and then stretch me out on a spit to roast my carcass over an open fire!

No worries, man! At no point did I think you were laughing at me or making fun of me. I read your question as a sincere one, and I actually found it funny and started laughing at the situation. Because really... after I read what I had written, even I was left wondering if I was asking for help or seeking permission!
Hahahahahahahaha
I'll check out the site you mentioned to see if I can find anything.
My site is built on WordPress. My idea is to create a section or page (or even a sidebar widget) with my latest posts on NOSTR, to show people that I'm around and introduce NOSTR to those who don't know it yet. Just like we did back in the Jurassic period when Twitter first appeared!

It's been about two weeks that work has been consuming my weekdays and I take advantage of the weekends to relax and think about other things besides work. It should be the norm, but since I have my job as an employee and I never gave up on my desire to have a business generating income alongside all of this, normally when I'm not at the company, I'm working for myself.
But eventually, the mind just can't take it anymore. During those times, I spend some time truly enjoying the weekends, actually resting for a change. Resting my brain, not my body... And it's great! After two or three weekends, I come back re-energized, it's amazing!
It's complicated to maintain balance... The way I'm doing it helps, but it's far from ideal. One day, who knows, maybe I'll get there...

2024-09-22 01:20:43 UTC

When you start using a social network like Twitter (for example), there's a feeling of isolation, of talking to yourself. However, this feeling quickly fades because you start to find someone you know here, another one there, you expand your network of contacts, and before you know it, you're amidst a group of people. Moreover, other people are looking for topics you discuss, and like magic, people start to reach out to you.
Here on NOSTR, that feeling of isolation is a bit stronger and lasts longer too. First, because finding someone you know here is almost impossible (at least for me). Second, because since there are many fewer people, the chance of someone randomly finding you is very small.
In the end, this entire journey of building an audience is much more complex, laborious, and time-consuming here. But I think that's part of it, right?

One of my goals for the next few years is to start a side business alongside my job, working on freelance projects and building a client base that generates recurring revenue.
I’m really bad at sales and business, so this goal is a huge challenge for me.
I think the main challenge right now is finding the right project. Because, you see, it’s not just any project… I want to take on projects that I enjoy doing, that keep me motivated!
For example, I just took on two projects and only later found out that I have to develop both using a tool that I think is terrible and that I don’t know how to use. It’s been unbelievably difficult to do even the basics. I’m seriously considering backing out and refusing the project…
The question is: why did I accept a project without knowing exactly what it would entail in the first place? I shouldn’t have.
But it’s okay, it’s all a learning experience.

2024-09-18 10:45:11 UTC

I have to admit, I've been feeling pretty frustrated with my experience on NOSTR lately. Maybe I just picked the wrong relays, but everything seems kind of slow and clunky. The content often freezes with no updates, or I try to access a feed and nothing loads.
That's exactly how I feel—frustrated.
And yes, I've tried all the available web clients and even some desktop ones, but overall, it feels the same.
Today, though, I decided to revisit "Primal," a client I hadn't tested in a while, and I got a bit more excited. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my experience with it improved by 1000%!!!
Let's see, I'm still excited about the idea and purpose of NOSTR! Hopefully, things will work out this time...
PS: Is it just me, or do 90% of the clients seem to be derived from a single codebase, with some variations and customizations here and there? Do you guys feel the same way?

I’m going to install solar panels at my house that can handle all my equipment. The total cost of purchase and installation will be financed, and the installments will be the same as what I currently pay (on average) for my electricity bill.
Do it! You’re turning an expense into an investment, and after it’s paid off, you’ll save a ton of money every year!

2024-09-16 10:57:22 UTC

Another week is starting, but the feeling is a bit different this time. All this confusion with X here in Brazil has made me think a lot about how controlled we are, and my desire to be free is stronger than ever. It’s always been there, latent, but now it seems to have gained strength and, most importantly, urgency!
Even though I love my job and am fully aware that I’m in an excellent company, earning a very good salary, I’m feeling the urgency to push my side projects so that I don’t rely solely on my salary.
My goal is to reach a point where I work for other companies by choice and not out of necessity anymore. To me, that’s what being rich means! Being able to choose the coolest projects to invest my time in, without bills being the main motivator!
Have a great week, friends from NOSTR! Let’s do this!

2024-09-15 22:25:28 UTC

I’ve been working in web development for almost 30 years. I started my career working for other companies, and after some time, I thought it would be a good idea to start my own business.
For over 15 years, I was an entrepreneur, but I never really made any real money with my company. Eventually, I had to accept defeat and return to the job market as an employee again.
And why all this? Because I never knew how to sell my work. I’m not a good businessman, nor a good salesperson. I’m definitely not a good businessperson!
Now, after a lot of trial and error, I’ve managed to learn a few things and I take on independent projects, freelances, but I still work for a big company that guarantees my paycheck every month.
Self-awareness is so important! This is what I should have done from the beginning: worked in big companies, built a network, improved technically and financially, and tested the market on the side without risking everything else.

I always thought coffee didn't affect me, but I realized I was completely wrong about that.
The fact is, during the week, I drink A LOT of coffee at the office, and the day goes by normally; I don't feel anything different.
But on weekends, when I don't make a cup of coffee in the morning (out of sheer laziness), I spend the whole day feeling unmotivated, sleepy, and wanting to crawl into bed and sleep until the next day.
Yeah... it looks like coffee not only affects me, but I'm already addicted to it!

In fact, this works even for those who don’t have any other skills besides negotiating well and knowing how to sell.
