Imagine having a bud messaging you telling you that your node might be offline. Then pulling out your phone and seeing if you can connect to it.
Hell we use lightning nodes as a welfare check for people. âHey dude your node has been offline for a day, everything ok?â
Itâs like a reverse life alert or a dead man switch but that sounds crazy.
Exactly.
If connection is protection, your node is literally your ability to have an immune system
Plus having a connection to your favorite podcaster or musician is some serious Value. Iâm more interested in helping others receive Value than I am about receiving it myself.
Using my Time, Talent and Treasure so others can receive Treasure that just happens to be the best money weâve ever had.
Everyone is stacking for some utopian future but that future is already here and being built around use.
Listening to a live podcast, sending a Boost and hearing the podcaster receive it in almost real-time will never get old. Even hearing someone elseâs Boost come in gets me excited because I know someone else sees the vision and is getting that same feeling.
We might be crazy but this is my kind of crazy. o7
I think the connection is the part I love the most. You guys are my digital friends, youâre my digital tribe. I find a kindred spirit in many of you that I donât often find in many people. I genuinely care about you guys and desire your well being and find my thoughts drifting to âI havenât heard from so and so in a while, I should reach out to see how theyâre doingâ. Thatâs true value. The community of kindred spirits is far more valuable than sats will ever be.
This V4V music thing is built on top of podcasting 2.0 that was built on top of No Agenda. Most people donât know that but the NA tribal bond is strong.
Thatâs what got me invoked with helping Sir TJ over a year ago. I only knew him from his âWe donât talk about Brandonâ end of show mix on No Agenda but we came from the NA tribe so I knew we had common ground already.
This V4V thing was much easier to understand when it was just listen to No Agenda. Now that itâs out in the wild itâs our job to spread the word and make sure we remember where this all came from.
It will change and evolve over time but us true believers have the flag planted and arenât giving up any ground because if we donât hold the line this thing will turn into the Big Tech controlled monster its designed to free us from. Weâre not fighting Big Tech instead we are building something completely separate from the ground up based on that connection we have been talking about.
Big Tech and the Media are evil, Bitcoin even if your not sold on it lets us send Value/Money in real time in very cool way. Got it? Cool so how to be built cool shit nowâŠ
that works for the big and popular, not so much for the small creators đ
