"Everybody's acting as nothing happened. And in Germany, it was so brutal. We had two lockdowns. Each was 6 and 8 months. Like there was a curfew. This is why I found nostr so fascinating. This is why this affects me so personally and why I'm so passionate about it. It's like, oh my God, there is hope."
~Tanja Bächle

There is more about Bitcoin and Nostr than merely the tech. More people will be brought in by the energy, the constant building and problem solving, and the feeling of hope that comes with it. Tanja, new to both Bitcoin and Nostr, has gone head first down the rabbit hole. She has taken on a major organizational role in the Nostr Booth Initiative, after being brought in by the potential she felt meeting the volunteers, entrepreneurs, and cypherpunks in the Nostr world.

She joins me to share her journey of how she lost faith in the fiat world, chose to break from it by living in silence with monks, used her writing to empty her mind of the weight of it all, and then her discovery of bitcoin and nostr and finding hope in our decentralized future.
