So who is this Naval person? Some sort of influenx00r? It's really bizarre to see all these big influenx00r accounts zapping every single note the account posts with literal thousands of sats every time.

Not that I care much, just curious to see such behavior, which reminds me a lot of Twitter influenx00r circlejerks.

The co-founder of Airchat among other things. An angel investor.

OK, so they are basically giving money to the already rich guy as a way to keep him posting here, to see if some of his followers from over there decide to follow him over here, and eventually stay.

Sounds like a very convoluted and inefficient marketing scheme, but hey. Not my money.

Haven’t checked his posts to know.

I doubt earning some Sats matters to Naval. People with large accounts are harder to shift. Saif and Snowden and Balaji aren’t on here much and I don’t think it’s because they don’t get what Nostr can/will be but rather they feel they can be more impactful with the further reach of their existing followerbase.

Precisely my point and why it amuses me so much to see all these people showering the guy with more sats per zap than any of us hold in our Alby wallets. There are classes, I guess 😂

Looks like just a couple fat zaps and the rest are regular old Nostrich amounts

Similar to Balaji. Has a brain, has actually done things, understands the problems and what solutions could look like.

Most people probably know him from some podcasts or from a viral Xitter thread he had a few years ago:
