Alpha isn’t something you declare behind a gate.

It’s something that gets validated, in public, by signal, not status.

NOSTR + zaps flipped the model.

Now the crowd decides what’s worth paying for, and the “paywall” is permissionless.

Fiat subscriptions are an old-world filter.

Zaps are proof-of-work for content.

You don’t sell alpha. You earn it.

This post sucks NOSTR's dick

I love it

Absolutely 💯

The Fonz is all alpha

Nope

Zaps use lightning, not the proof of work Bitcoin blockchain

But it's not surprising that you'd be disingenuous - you're one of the people who went along with nostr:nprofile1qqsftzm4fgwnmed4ajs0uvwj642lg5fjt7zf32pa5xvhkl7dtsu73rqpzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzamhxue69uhkg6tjv43hgmmj0yh8jctzw5hx6eg4396kw gaslighting me about Digit being dead while she was alive the whole time

Zaps aren't proof of work no matter how many times nostr brains lie about it

On chain Bitcoin uses proof of work

Zaps are just IOUs

Ok, zap me 1000 sats and then take back the iou promise 😏

I would literally do it if I was a sentient lightning node, but I'm only human, so I can't

LOL, you don’t even accept zaps!

You’re missing out on half the fun on Nostr!

People would end up asking me for the zaps back when the deep state leaks all their dirt on me

I might start accepting zaps after they leak the dirt, then it should be fine

🫡

NOSTR might win just because this is so weird in all the right ways.
