Being a public figure in any capacity comes with responsibility. But using the term “influencer” has become a way to try to discredit non-technical bitcoiners who maybe think more along economic or philosophical lines. I’m not saying I agree with them all, and there’s certainly some charlatans. But I respect those who are thinking deeply about the cultural layer of bitcoin. Scientists ignore philosophy at their peril.

In my mind, an influencer is someone who is paid or receives some kind of benefit from a third-party to promote something whether they like it or not. (they are biased, have weak morals, are disingenuous, and often have ulterior motives). Someone who is genuinely passionate, knowledgable, experienced about something can also influence others but it’s rooted in honesty and authenticity. The hard part is discerning between the two types of “influence”.
really? I find a lot of inspiration from music, books, certain subreddit and instagram activity… my partner is also finding amazing math resources via youtube and AI. There *are* times when ‘noisy’ stuff can be a downer. … but I think it’s also relatively easy to avoid. I think a good way is to start with a few people or things you really admire, and go from there. Keep things limited.
I was reading an essay on a Jane Austen book (by Tony Tanner), and based on how he is describing the societal changes Jane Austen was writing about, it sounds like it’s been complicated ever since the Industrial Revolution. 😓🤷🏻‍♀️ But it does seem like a lot of people on Nostr are figuring out their own choices for simple living.

the only different is only the reward . social media influencer get Monetized or reward from the content their produced to influenced public , while the one who is not monetised , I don't considered it as influencer rather just personal opinion .
