I recently started a Substack newsletter and I've been brainstorming ways to bootstrap my subscriber list. I don't use social media outside of Nostr, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I have a theory that Nostr+zaps could open up a different type of "advertising" model. Typically with paid ads, you're paying the centralized social media company to show your content to a bunch of people in hopes that they'll view it. Why not pay the viewers directly and cut out the middleman? That way they're getting some value regardless whether they like your product or not, and it's just a more elegant system overall.

So I'm going to run an experiment myself and see how this works. I recently wrote an article about Bitcoin and money inspired by a comment @Odell made on a recent Citadel Dispatch episode. If you're interested in the philosophy of money and banking, you might enjoy it.

I'm going to link the article below. It's about a 20 minute read. So the first 10 people who read the article and leave a thoughtful response, commentary, or criticism as a reply to this note will get zapped 15,000 sats each. I think that's fair for 20 minutes of your time. After the first ten replies, I'll zap each additional reader 1,500 sats as long as my funds hold out.

And if you find the content valuable enough that you feel you don't need the sats, just zap it back to me and I'll pass it along to the next person.

Thanks in advance!

Just read your substack, and I found your article very interesting and I could relate a lot about the last part and how the shift in living with a money that is also an equity you should just hodl and continue to stack and it will grow exponentially in value even if you start feom a small amount. The long term incentives is everything, working today and "starving" for some time to have crop to harvest, to sell, to eat and to plant again next time is so underrated.

I am not on substack, but so glad yo have found your article, and will follow you here on Nostr, since I noticed I wasn't, and you reshare here your articles 😁

Pura Vida Sir, and again, very nice article..

Thanks for the kind words! My day job is in the building trades, and it's so frustrating to see the guys who work hard day after day building nice houses, who will never be able to afford to buy the house they are actually building. The current system is so unfair, it's really unfortunate. Meanwhile the house buyers are bankers, lawyers, politicians, and bureaucrats who contribute little of actual value to the world, yet through the wealth redistribution of credit money end up wealthy. Anything that helps to bring justice back to the system would be a huge benefit. And I believe it starts with money, and Bitcoin is the money that rewards productivity and helps someone improve their financial situation with good decisions.

I completely agree with you, and I believe it's a vicious circuit that pushes young generations into infinite debt in order to have a house and create a family. Mental.
