Today I was doing a P2P on lnp2pbot, an option to buy SATs without KYC. Someone takes my offer and I follow the bot's instructions until it's time to contact my peer. That contact is done privately on telegram, I must confess that it's time to start using Mostro on Nostr, but there is still a delay in that sense, but we continue with what we were doing, I realize that my peer is someone new, with a lot of patience I was helping him until the operation was completed. But in one of the community groups I realize that this peer was asking questions about topics that showed total ignorance of how Bitcoin, Lightning, etc. work. In my eagerness to help, because I can't do anything else, it's inside me, through DM I suggested some things, including STUDY, RESEARCH AND WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS, ASK IN THE COMMUNITY. There was a moment when the conversation started to turn to how to earn SATs, to which I replied that with PoW, that the rest is a scam, I briefly explained the convenience of using self-custody Lightning wallets, that I would have to open channels and such, but that a person called @DarthCoin had some very good guides.
My heart stopped when he wrote me "and how is it going with the channel? Does it make you profit?"
I understood that he did not know what he was talking about, but expressions from DarthCoin and his guides came to my head when he says "if what you want is a node to earn money, this is not for you" These are approximately his words. I calmed down and replied, "I SUGGEST YOU STUDY A LOT AND RESEARCH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
If you're starting to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, here's some good advice I was given. BITCOIN IS NOT FOR PLAYING, BITCOIN IS EARNED WITH WORK, THERE ARE FEW, VALUE THE SATS YOU HAVE, USE THEM WELL AND ABOVE ALL THINGS!!!!!!
STUDY!!!!
if what you want is a node to earn money, this is not for you
I said exactly that in many guides.
Does it make you profit?"
Yeah I really hate that question. Shows exactly how deep into fiat mindset is that guy and will have a long journey until will really understand what is Bitcoin for.

I want you to know that at that point I thought, "poor ignorant, what if I had this conversation with DarthCoin?"
Brother, there are many of them. But I have faith, I hope that some of them will be saved.

Crypto is the worst thing that ever happened to Bitcoin. It's all tokens on tokens on tokens it is really really cringy.
The worst phrases I hear or have ever heard occasionally are... "how do I make money with crypto?" "what's a good project?" "how do I get that airdrop?" "the founders are a really good team they promise that 100x" or "wow they've got partnerships! And they've got a presale!"
All of it needs to be Swept Away by the ebb and flow of Time and hopefully forgotten
