He couldn&#39;t speak highly enough of not only how incredible of a developer Eric, the founder of Fedimint, is, but just how decent of a person he is, as well.<br/><br/>More on all of this in the

rights.<br/><br/>Faisal, an Iraqi-American who fled Iraq in the wake of the fall of Saddam Hussein, tends to see the best in people, despite the challenges he&#39;s had to confront in his life. (Or maybe because he&#39;s had to confront and overcome those challenges.)<br/><br/>So, I reached out to him to speak about Iran because I was hoping that he was seeing something, some sort of a silver lining, that I, and just about everyone else I&#39;ve spoken with on the matter, can&#39;t see.<br/><br/>While he didn&#39;t necessarily offer said silver lining in our conversation, he did share a very nuanced view on the matter, which, as someone who&#39;s just trying to understand better what&#39;s happening, I very much appreciated.<br/><br/>In our conversation we discussed:<br/><br/>• The best and worst case scenarios for the Iran conflict<br/>• An ethnic and religious overview of Iranians (not all Iranians are Persians)<br/>• Why and how Iran isn&#39;t Venezuela<br/>• Whether or not the majority of Iranians want regime change<br/>• Important details about the Straight of Hormuz and who might control it moving forward<br/>• Bitcoin adoption in the Middle East<br/><br/>plus more.<br/><br/>While some of the information in the conversation is out of date at this point since we recorded late last week, what Faisal offered in this conversation is still quite valuable for looking to learn more about how things work in Iran and the Middle Eastern region more broadly.<br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/uq7DHrIdqcFs7SqX.jpg">

One hour after I respond to him, the status had been transferred. He also helped me with the messaging to make sure people knew my old nsec had been compromised and that the new account/npub was legit.<br/><br/>Then, as all the zaps and support came in this morning, I was reminded of why I came to Nostr in the first place: the community.<br/><br/>We’re all here trying to build this thing out together, and when I stumbled, you all helped me back up.
