I love all of your stuff. Making nostr the place for fireside chats vs boardroom power presentation sounds like a good idea.

🪄💜 I've been encouraging newcomers to just feel they can be real with people here. No bs, just good vibes and support all around. They find that refreshing.

I think just constantly mentioning it on Twitter would help greatly. People with big follower counts don’t come to Nostr because less people are following them on Nostr, engagement is low, and they lose their Twitter engagement. The incentives are to stay where the monetizing opportunities are, but unless the big accounts push people over here, it’s status quo. My two sats.

Thank you for your services.

I can tell you that I am here because I want a social media that isn’t using me, I’m hoping it can lead to real life community, friendships, and mutual opportunities. I avoided all of their social media up until this point because I was aware since the beginning of the manipulation and data mining. Although this protocol is not private, I feel good about it intention and possibilities.

You should do what vibes right.

Personally I like the content being different.

A unique tone for each social platform would be most desirable.

Cheers to you, Lyn!

Interesting approach to this side of the internet. As it would be another facet what would support the already well known yours. Another human "Makro" point of view 😁.

unique/personal (angry when it comes up), please!

Personally I’m tired of all the macro content. There has been a lot of great macro content from you and others. But at this point there is very little additional action that we can take on it. And I suspect a lot of people are getting saturated. So better to post about other things on here.

Most people are here for differing reasons. Seemingly everyone is here for authenticity, lack of algorithm, and regaining a voice. Just being yourself goes a long way here. Truly a different vibe.

This is a good question. I definitely think you should repost anything valuable you post on Twitter. But I get nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx‘s point that people are often just reposting to here from Twitter. I do that too but try to change it a bit for the audience. Maybe that’s one option? Or just saying you’re reposting from Twitter?

And definitely give us your real thoughts.

NOSTR is definitely for contrarian thoughts that have been deeply thought through but might get you cancelled other places.

Rants and general quips.

Whatever interesting observation you have macro or not, you can spontaneously post here maybe?

Both sounds nice! I'm no longer on twitter cause I am too fragile to get trolled by Elon's doge logos. So whatever you want to post, I think we all will appreciate it! 🌱🌴🏝️🦜

I find myself trying to use Twitter less and less. With that being the case, I’d hate to miss out on your macro content. Maybe post post everything here, including the fireside chats?

‘Ask me anything’ style questions and answers here would help promote nostr. For example, you could tell your twitter followers that you’re doing an AMA here and thereby encourage more people from fintwit to join.

I would love to get your current thoughts and musings on macro. Especially if you’re organizing your thoughts because you’re seeing contradictory data and thinking out loud on what directions things might go. 🙏

No matter what you do with your content on nostr, just make sure you feel free to do it.

The thoughtfulness of your macro content surely will bring a number of people to nostr, but what matters most is that you are free enough to write whatever note you want. Twitter incentivized you to post macro content based on an algorithm that ensured you would get a better reach if you committed yourself to posting specific content. That world is dead. The gloves/chains are off.

Personally, I love your macro content but the reason I follow you is because I’m all-in on people who refuse to look away, who refuse the easy retreat into existentially consoling beliefs, and have hope for tomorrow; which you are one of those - not because of macro content.

Cross posting your macro stuff here is a great idea - but then just having more engaging dialogue on Nostr instead of Twitter maybe?

i think you and other people commenting bring up a good point: use nostr for anything that would get you banned or is regulated on other platforms like language or length/size of a post.

since nostr is about decentralization and censorship resistance, it would be an interesting way to use it to highlight the weaknesses of the other platforms.

I think that’s a great way to approach it. I used to switch over to Twitter to check out macro content from you and others (your’s has always been a favorite). For the past month or so, I started learning how to build on #nostr and I don’t even think to look at Twitter anymore.

I’ll always checkout a podcast you’re on and can’t wait for the book! It would be cool to see a long form article drop here every now and then. Or a #nests or zap.stream appearance.

Be warned, if you start building here, it can suck you in. 🤙

I suspect you're uniquely talented to answer the question that Robert Breedlove can never answer. Also, from a finance point of view what does modern-day innovation and investment look like when all final settlement can only be done with a hard asset rather than elastic money?

Be yourself here. Great idea .

Plus can’t you delete stuff now?

Feels to me that unique content is best. Twitter is for Lyn the analyst and the brand.

Nostr is for Lyn the person, behind the scenes. Like talking to a friend.

I’d run with that. NOSTR needs to move beyond a bunch of people getting together to talk about… NOSTR. Seems too one dimensional now.

This was such a beautiful heartfelt note that humanises the plight, we are all knees deep in trying to change.

Seeing the human face, of struggle and success is always a beacon for those of us that look to YOU nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a as the lighthouse in the tempest, ocean.

In my humble opinion #nostr is the place where poetry meets politics and takes out the sting of the legacy financial system.

The philosophy behind the macro economist is what our future history, moving forward, will be built upon.

I’m grateful everyday for you (and too many people to mention in this space) guiding me - so I can help navigate my children’s, children’s, children’s brighter future!

#bitcoin #nostr #hope 💜

Well, you could share or seek advice on any of your passions in life. I am sure there is more then „only“ Makro.

It’s a more encouraging engagement imho you can expect here.

Best case would be to leave the bird app and double down on freedom tech. 😀

Well, kind of both.

If you want to attract people that follow you elsewhere you have to provide them something they would want, meaning it should be the same or at least close to what they signed up for elsewhere. However if they can get that thing elsewhere there is no reason to come here.

Off of the top of my head, I could think of only posting previews and highlights elsewhere and publishing full length content here. That is quite a proven concept. (usually done with Patreon, but should work just as well here)

And if that is not an option, you could have something like Behind the scenes of your public persona in here.

I’m also trying to figure out how to best participate and contribute to nostr…

The majority of social network experiences seem to end up in a place where most users have a very high consume / post ratio. But perhaps here we will see different follow and follower patterns emerge, since there is less ad and algo driven mechanics behind the scenes.

Either way, it will be interesting to watch it evolve!

How do people find your content. You cant play algos so hashtags, maybe?

In my case, I follow your Twitter posts. I don’t have a Twitter account but I have Nostr So you’ll be doing me a favor if you post at least the same here. Not sure how many out there are in the same situation as me.

Whatever you feel like posting here. The personal notes seem like a good approach.

Only thing I would not try is cross-posting content from Twitter because the valuable conversations in the comments will be split between the platforms.

Hi Lyn, as a person that looks around once in a while, and leave nostr again the content has to be additional to Twitter (for me). Not a copy of Twitter, for now. So afterthoughts sounds good. Or frontrunning Twitter could be an option. Maybe it can help shape your thoughts, when a small group can react before you release it to the big crowd. Love your work!

Difficult question, Lyn… actually, I think that people will start using seriously #Nostr only when they realize that on the centralized social networks they are not really free because something bad happens to them… I do not think it’s about the network effect… I think it’s more about the laziness of people that do not want to change: “Twitter is working… why should I change?”. It’s similar to the privacy topic: “Why should I care about privacy? I do not have anything to hide”.

About your topics, keep posting them here as you do on Twitter… or maybe if you want to try to “force” people to join #Nostr, post just a TLDR version on Twitter and direct them here for a full explanation…

💜

I see a lot of Bitcoiners influencers who only use Nostr to post links to new podcasts or promote what they have got going on. To be honest I think that's doing it wrong. I think the best way to Promote Nostr is just to do what you have been doing which is being real. Your macro stuff is always great but like you said posting stuff here you might not feel comfortable sharing on Twitter people probably appreciate the most. The more people doing that on Nostr the more people it will attract. People might not intuitively know they crave real interactions but majority of humans do. When they get a taste of it they will keep coming back. Its hard to promote Nostr elsewhere like Twitter because I am pretty sure Elon shadow banned any tweet mentioning Nostr but its worth a shot at mentioning that you are posting different stuff on Nostr to see who comes over.

Hi Lyn, I think posting the 'human stuff' here is a great idea - perhaps I'm biased though since I subscribe to your newsletter etc. Btw, thank you for enriching my understanding.

Why don’t you post only the unique contents here? It will make a case for non-Nostriches on Twitter to become a Nostrich and enjoy its fruits

Post here what you think matters most to you, as always, it's being authentic that matters. A platform for true authenticity might just be the Nostr vibe.

Also if you (just casually) scroll through your zap wallet and say "imagine this on orders of magnitude bigger scale, permissionless...". Wouldn't that persuade at least part of macrotwit to post here too?

Unique, impulsive, reactive, sometimes bit cryptic and self serving, a-note-to-self type burst.

Maybe emotional, birds 🦅, clouds ⛅️, wind 💨, mountains 🏔️, whatever.

I think a lot of people will agree that what they want is a Twitter-like experience without the Twitter-like shadow-banning, censorship, and fake (it seems, at times) freedom of speech. The problem is, when you have a large following on Twitter and you like to engage your audience, it's hard to do that TWICE ... once on Twitter and then AGAIN on Nostr.

The other problem is: with Nostr, is it's more than one client. It's not just Twitter the app or Twitter.com. It's Amethyst, Damus, Iris, Primal, Plebster, and more. I found Twitter hard to learn and I find Nostr even harder (clients, relays, following the flow of posts).

I don't know what the answer is (for you) but mentioning Nostr on Twitter would probably have the greatest effect while you make your decision on how you're going to post on Twitter and post on Nostr. I follow you on both platforms and I think a lot of people will agree that it's great to have you on both!!

I think more nostr nest events need to take place. Events like that are very sticky and can cause a great network effect.

I'm all for more general life notes and random thoughts. That gives everyone a chance to jump into the discussion and we can get a better sense of who each other are.

No reason not to post both here...My 2 cents.

I desperately want to use nostr more, but I’ve struggled to find content that is as diverse as i can find on twitter. Don’t get me wrong, i love the high concentration of btc everything here, but I’d use nostr more if there was a broader base of topics. You sharing authentic ideas that aren’t on twitter would certainly keep me coming back here more frequently.

You're right about needed a reason... Mine, well, on Twittledee twittledumb, I tend to follow Liberals so'ze I can either try to talk reason with them, tell them how their wealth is being destroyed and taken from them by the devaluing of the currency, or I'm telling them how deceived and dumb they are. Here, I tend to comment on all sorts of posts and just feel it's a community of people wanting the liberty to say what they want in the manner they want to say it, and react however the notion. It's freedom in a way Twitter can't be, when you're a centralized computer system.

I think your personal content is great. It’s the more human side of Lyn and shares your brilliance with us on a more intimate and real level, which I relate to. Anything macro that you feel to share as well, is always appreciated but why be bound to it?
