I have been in crypto since 2017.
Lost it all recently, and in doing so, reevaluated everything.
This has made me realize the importance/significance of BTC.
So I have explored it with a whole new set of eyes.
This means looking at it deeper than the neanderthal mindframe of- HODL & Number Go Up.
That's a hard mentality to break. But I'm working on it.
This means I'm exploring and learning about new tools and resources SN, Nostr, Wallets, etc.
I signed up for SN without even really understanding LN, how its used, or how it works.
I signed up with my CashApp. (hope to learn how to change that if possible, idk yet).
Anyway, what I have learned so far is that LN basically allows faster processing of payments.
It's how we are stacking sats on SN, Nostr, and invoice systems (?) like coinos.
SN already gives you a LN address when you sign up. That's how we send and receive sats.
I now have a coinos, but my next goal is to figure out how to remove my CashApp and connect that coinos account to both SN and Nostr.
Anyway. That's Chronicle 1 for me.
If you're new and not getting it, it's not just you.
There are a lot of moving pieces here. Takes a min to get your bearings.
Buying and HODL is never a bad strategy.
But if you wanna know the inner workings, you're gonna have to lift the hood and tinker.
