Not sure how this will be perceived but I'm interested in what the reaction on nostr will be toward this idea.

Privacy in crypto is missing the point. It's nice and fun etc, but the point it misses is that you doxx yourself to the Gvt when you use your crypto for "nice things worth having".
Cars, houses, plane tickets, bank accounts, you do any of them, you create a trail.
Staying private with crypto, limits you about the same as staying private with cash.
How to you feel about the whole zap idea with the zaps being so public now?
It's an interesting experiment. I don't see it paying any bills, but it does feel nice.
It MIGHT have some impacts re viral content, such as an appeal re earyhq
earyhq.....that a movie? 😁
earthquakes etc as it's as frictionless as you can get.
But IMO content people who need to make a living, will always need to charge explicitly for what they make. UNLESS it becomes the social norm to "zap 500 when you watch/listen".
We shall see :-)
10k people each zapping a cent for a post or content would certainly add up over time
It would, but take a 4 piece band. $20,000 a month wages, about the same in expenses, month in, month out.
And notes are really only long lasting in the way that newspapers used to be. Yes, but, not really. Notes more than 10 hours old are almost invisible. Over a week, is ancient history. But they can't keep plugging the same stuff for risk of annoying their followers...
It will be interesting to see where it goes. Meme makers might find it viable.
Possibly poets.
Hmm, I have some verse written to exe's here somewhere.... :-)
