People getting quite triggered and a little mean for me sharing my experiences about money on here.

I’m still going to share some more.

I made more money on Nostr than on twitter for just one month since twitter introduced payments for creators: January.

In that month I shared a video on here which went semi viral (?) - where I trolled a crypto conference.

It’s usually a couple of generous zappers who make up the lions share of payments: Pareto principle stuff.

I get more money on posts where I say “please zap” and if I forget to mention that on pieces of work, people forget or simply don’t.

For the people saying I need to engage more on Nostr, that’s not quite right because Nostr doesn’t directly reward engagement.

And for those saying oh I can HODL the zaps because they’ll go up in value,

with respect, that’s not at all rational or realistic. We’ve all got to eat and pay bills!

And for those saying “oh well here it’s btc, twitter is fiat”… sure but we do still live in a very fiat world and most bitcoiners don’t earn btc, they buy bitcoin.

I am one of very very few Bitcoiners who lives on a full bitcoin standard and earns btc so I appreciate this more than most!

I’m gonna keep sharing my twitter and Nostr stats because I’m sure it’s resonating with some people.

Fuck. Was supposed to zap that 1000 zap to nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a for his post. Pushed the wrong button, your answer was the first, and your zap button almost just below Joe’s 🤣🤦‍♂️

I'll send it to him rn on your behalf. 🫡

#OnlyOnNostr

I stay zapping! I gotta be in the top 0.1% of all nostr zappers !!!

If you want some advice: nostr is just like twitter but free, so people just scroll down all the time. If you want engagement and earn some more real money, probably stacker.news is better for you.

Yeah on stacker.news I earn similar to Nostr despite having a smaller following!

Factos.

No problem

Keep up the good work Joe

Keep sharing

Twitter has three orders of magnitude more users than nostr. Also, zaps are meant to cover an infooncers entire salary.

well said. honestly I’m not very bullish on the donation model. You may want to experiment with putting some of your content behind a paywall. Like pay 5000 sats to view or something.

Why bother about that ??? It's even a good debate 👀

Congrats on getting subsidized by Elon.

Thanks 🤙

What if we could attach an incentive layer for all #nostr network participants: relays, frontend apps, and content creators? I am loving #plebchain and #zaps, but I think we lack a proper set of incentives to make the system more attractive for all parties. I know that maxies won’t like this idea, but if we care about social media decentralization and censorship resistance, we need a proper incentive structure in place, otherwise participants won’t be able to continue operating and developing. What do you think?

Thank you Joe for doing what you do. The people who get mean towards you for operating your business how you do, can pound sand. You're going a great job!

Just to provide another example - itch.io is a great platform for retrogaming where the games are either free or cost like $5 and $2.5 on sale: https://itch.io/s/121680/birthday-sale .

It's centralized, etc, all the usual issues, but note that the price is small enough that I would not mind buying it if I like the game.

Maybe you need something like that? Your usual content would be free, while your long form content would be for 2000 sats or $5 😉

And sometimes they do this when you can download for free, but the UI really tries to nudge you towards paying.

Please keep sharing! Pay no mind to the armchair quarterbacks.

The data points are really interesting to me and many others.

Thanks Jeff. So good hanging out seeing you. Left our chats with a smile on my face 😊

You too brother. Had a blast!

If you use nostr mostly to post and leave, you won’t make money. People forget the ifluencers here. If you spend more time here... Interact, talk, zap and ALSO create content you will make money too.

FREN MODEL > influencer model

Problem with idealistic tribes is that they have a hard time accepting criticism or middle grounds. Keep posting your stats, Nostr should be about freedom, truth and expression. And hopefully will keep evolving. If I might suggest sth I would try to avoid the zap charity… as a key source of income. It’s not fair nor sustainable for creators. Plus having the risk of focusing too much on pleasing the crowd.

Thank you, based and empathetic take

Loved your video. Found it on X.

Who cares where you post and who pays out more?

Some of those who care usually judge other relentlessly mercilessly for tribalism while they behave exactly as the accused.

This is one thing I despise about #nostr - the moral high ground and philosophical attitude being better, wiser, freer or similar just because using a digital tool to communicate. They are contradicting their argument.

Classic shot in the foot.

Bro this on the money! There’s lots of moral postering on here 🤷‍♂️

I didn't know you are living on a Bitcoin stsndard. Kuddos! Who cares if you're not 100% on Nostr? It seems logic to not jeopardize your income stream by going 100% on Nostr. It would be great though if more content was added on Nostr.

Love your work btw.

Thanks dude! Been 3 years now and it’s tricky but fun

You have 5X more followers on TWTR and you are surprised you make $10 more?

Glorify TWTR more and you will make even less on NOSTR. Not mean, just Common sense 🤦🏼‍♀️

You are lame bro.

Never expected Nostr to be a source on income but a place to actually share things that got me banned from X and than getting value from it. But this is another history.

Twitter sucks donkey dicks

Don’t mind the haters, Joe! You keep doing what you’re doing. We need more bitcoin content across all social media platforms.

Your sats, your choice 🙌

The point is you're very influential in the btc space so if could sacrifice a little bit of your time and engage here it would mean something to those arriving on nostr and starting to use sats and zaps.
