excellent post! i say that connections with people away from keyboard are the peer-to-peer space that is frequently under-emphasized: a friend who stacks sats can buy anything u want for u, up to buying a house or property, if the deal is correctly arranged; with that in mind, nostr or another decentralized communication app works;

one can even ping friend's node with keysend; i have not played around with this method yet; i know it's very powerful if there is a p2p LN connection already;
