Hunter on Nostr: My purple pill story The purple pill went down way easier for me than the orange pill ...

My purple pill story

The purple pill went down way easier for me than the orange pill did.
I mean I did even need to wash that pill down with water…. Here’s why:

It was like 2022 maybe idk exactly but it was right around the time spaces started getting popular. I was listening to bitcoin spaces on my commute to and from work in Arkansas. Just for a reference on the timeline…

I was always on bitcoin twitter. Actually I never experienced twitter only bitcoin twitter.
I never messed with twitter at all actually until Elon musk bought it for me”free speech 🎤”

So right around the time Elon bought twitter is when I decided to join. All my co workers were all maga guys and they were always bitching about being in fb jail for things that they shared/posted.
I really thought Elon was going to save free speech…

So I was on bitcoin twitter anyways…. I thought Jack d was a complete dick for banning trump on twitter….
But then I saw Jack talking about bitcoin a lot

I liked the things he was saying and doing, so I gave him a pass on his bull shit bc our incentives were aligned. We both liked bitcoin

So then I was like ok Jack likes bitcoin maybe he’s not a complete idiot. So I remember him tweeting about Nostr and I was immediately intrigued and it reminded me instantly of bitcoin… the same way nobody can fuck with your money with bitcoin… now nobody can ban me put me in fb jail… censor me,etc

It felt so empowering. I’d go to my buddies at work and be like nobody can censor me… no fb jail for me lol
I say whatever I want to.
They didn’t care.
Fucking normies.

At that time Damus was the only thing I knew.

I thought it was called Damus actually… not Nostr, I thought the whole thing was Damus and that was it. Like the only app was Damus… and I was still all in

It didn’t take any convincing for me to delete twitter the moment I started using Damus.

It was so early it took me weeks to figure out how to do a profile pic.
But I never looked back at twitter not even once.

It’s like bitcoin. Once there is a clearly better option…. Only a fool would go back

I’m all about fuck the man
And nobody gunna tell me what to do
So naturally as an anarchy/ rebellion spirit that’s my purple pill story 💜💜💜💜
