I posted the following in the political discussion telegram group, what are your thoughts? "Speaking for myself and given the context of the world's affairs at this time, I wish to be as self sufficient, nimble and mobile as possible. I'm still relatively young (30), so if there is a revolution, further disintegration of the state and EU, further wars, genocides, bank failures, depressions, and any other failures or injustices, I wish only to be able to be in a position that I may protect myself and others through these times. You talk about not wanting to "throw millions of people into abject poverty" in dealing with our sovereign debt issues, but we face a situation that has no easy outcome. The country is effectively going into default. The damage has already been done over decades. There are many ways this can go, but none of them are pretty. So, I recommend people to move towards self sufficiency as a way to protect as many of their own and their neighbours basic needs and rights as possible. Financially, I think it is sound to store your wealth in hard bearer assets. Take your pick. But I wouldn't want to have large savings in the bank over the next decade. Same with property. I wouldn't want to hold a large portion of my wealth in it. Perhaps debt can be good, because with a fast inflating currency, your debt value goes down over time. But that's also risky if you lose your income or don't have the financial means to dig yourself out of a hole. I would also not want to have only one source of income. My dad used to say "even a stool has 3 legs". All in all, these are tough times. At what point will you decide that nobody is going to save you, and maybe you should take care of your own interests (and support your neighbours) while the nation and big corps around us try to siphon away everything we've got?"

It's true.

I've joined a political discussion telegram group and I'm evangelising Bitcoin to between 100-200 people. It always surprises me how little a lot of people really know about Bitcoin, most are stuck in the FUD headlines from 5+ years ago. I really believe one of the best things anyone can do to help Bitcoins cause, is just to talk about it openly with your full conviction without holding back. No need to push, or go out of your way to talk about it, but if the conversation relates and you would naturally speak about it with other Bitcoiners, then speak your truth. No need to defend or fight for it even. I find simply speaking your truth and then inviting people towards some deeper research (providing some links), before leaving in peace and respect, is a powerful way to influence others.

I don't personally believe I owe an explanation, as can be seen I paid out some ~400k sats. But I will echo the point that NOSTR is not consistent. Even in the screenshot you provided of the tool, I know I paid out people that don't show up as paid. was paid I'm sure, surely was paid. The problem I encountered is I lost track of who was paid and who wasn't. I am even sure I double paid somebody. Each time I took a break, reloaded the pages, switched client, I was asking myself who I paid already. The lists keep reshuffling, accounts came and went from the lists and in the end I was using my own spreadsheet to track. Honestly, the truth of it is that I got fed up and did not have the time to do the manual labour required to check if all accounts were real, already paid and logging in my personal sheet. Clients load too slowly for me, creating a lot of dead time waiting for loading each user profile before I can even begin my checks. The way I move forward now, is just to accept that it could have been handled better, so for future zapvertisements I will change my approach. Setting a total sat limit, asking for a reply to the thread, and setting an end date in the OP would be changes I would make next time. Up to you if you see me as "scamming". I find it a rather large stretch though, I don't know many scammers parting with 400k sats.. Further, most of my DM's to potential candidates seem to have been lost. So after all this, I am left feeling NOSTR could really do with more user experience consistency somehow.
