Yesterday, I had quite a singular experience. I have a friend who likes to write, normally, my friend writes novels, essays, and fantasy stories. He has been doing this since we first met long ago. My friend is not into technology and usually refuses it. I was trying to show him the virtues of Bitcoin and Nostr, but it seemed too technical and out of his range. Recently, he told me about a new story he is writing, where he wants to experiment with comics and graphic stories. However, he doesn't know how to do it and had tried in the past with other friends who are illustrators and artists. Sometimes, synergies don't happen, and it's difficult to find time for hobby projects, so they always stopped when it became too much work. But some days ago, I showed my friend and loaded some sats into it because I wanted to demonstrate how he could leverage text-to-image models. I showed him how easy and frictionless the experience was, and we had fun playing with it. Yesterday, he asked me to do a p2p transaction to buy some sats since he had already spent the first sats I gave him. This was such a transcendental moment because I never thought this friend would ask me to do a p2p transaction. It was magical, and the best part is that now he can continue developing his hobby with very powerful tools and even create a graphic story from it. Bitcoin and AI are such a powerful orange pilling force
