The creators and developers on Nostr are some of the first people on the planet, to earn Bitcoin, rather than buying it.
Just as their patrons are some of the first people on the planet, to spend Bitcoin, rather than selling it.
Nostr is the first global Bitcoin economy of scale.
And we were here.
We are legend.
Legen…wait….for….it….dary

That's what we developed and what it means to be here
super proud to get in this before it's a year in (been working on nostr stuff 3 months now)
Yeah, that's why I tell my bros to just keep building and writing. Stay calm and type.
If Nostr is really going to make it as a protocol, everyone who learned to use it and build with it is going to be ahead long-term, regardless of how their current project turns out. This is like learning to make webpages and applets in the 90s.
I know because I was there.
i'm very happy to make it my specialisation... i have a lot of experience designing an experimental anonymity protocol and i think with that i can solve the instant messaging privacy part of this protocol... which sorely needs to be sorted out, and also maybe the in-band micropayments and maybe what you can call "microsubscription" schemes that are needed to enable spam-free multi-hop routing of messages, critical to metadata privacy
for now what i'm focusing on is building a userbase outside the bitcoin community so a bigger pool of resources is going into building that skillset for devs that have got into this, i'm even training one guy in my current work as a part of my job, how to write good quality #golang code
We just got our apprentice to come back, so I'm in a good mood because I get to mother someone like,
Okay, have you set up your VM?
Next, we will set up your SSH agent and install git...
yeah, i'm getting to quite like it, i'm not really used to the idea that i'm someone who has authoritaah but i have a lot of knowledge and it's cheap to replicate! had a really nice session the other day, taught my apprentice a heap of the tricks with Golang syntax and how it makes for far more concise and clear expression than any other language.. which is what makes me happy doing the work... IMO too few people understand why Go is the best, and i get to at least introduce one person to it
I think it's the sign that we're now senior team members. It actually takes a lot of knowledge and experience to be able to train someone without crippling your own productivity.
It isn't fun to do until it isn't hard to do. Like with everything, I suppose.
it's first real global one (without any bigtech regional filters)
Nostr ZAPCONOMY in 2023 was ~200BTC
Wow, impressive. And my zaps were there. 😎
who will be the first to earn a whole coin in the nostr economy, or rather can we know the amount of total flow of sats?
We are legend 🫡
Best post I've seen on here in a while
We are free 🫡
Agree. This account is a nym… but I am a content creator on the other side and seeing how the world works over here is priceless to understand both my content’s real value and what the future will look like post advertising models only…

When noncoiners ask about getting into BTC, I always recommend they EARN sats!
Since 2020 I've helped guests on the Bowl After Bowl podcast set up wallets to stack sats via value split as boostagrams roll in -- and boosts keep rolling in FOREVER once an episode is published! When the person finally builds a node, switching the value tag is simple.
In 2021, I was able to use Zeus as a POS at a Bitcoin Blockparty and sell handmade jewelry and crystals for sats, which were delivered right to my node!
And last December, a highschooler earned her first sats last working as a lighting tech at the Ainsley Costello concert in Minneapolis.
The future is ⚡LIT⚡!
I hadn’t realized before but you are right! Thank you, this gives me hope.
Can’t agree more
for the longest time #Sats didn't feel like #btc till I discovered #nostr and boom someone zapped me 3k for a long post ..then another .. I couldn't believe it was happening .. a writer getting paid for her work .. that is not how it was supposed to be .. it changed everything..
later I discovered other features of #nostr .. this thing is deeper than anything todate .. it was hole of rabbit holes .. wow
“Spend bitcoin, don’t sell it” - I’ll steal that if you don’t mind.
