"man, that's old school"

was the comment I got when I explained how I sell blankets on nostr.

I found that to be so amusing because nostr, Bitcoin and the lightning network are arguably "new school" since the technology is pretty fresh.

but yes, fundamentally, how I do business on nostr is old school.

---

them: when people want to buy, they just message you?

me: yeah, then I send them a lightning invoice

okay so they pay it. is it like instantaneous?

pretty much

so you have their money but you haven't even made the blanket yet. wait! that means...

yeah, I could totally scam them.

you totally could!

right, but I don't. I don't because I want their business. my reputation is tied to my npub. the longer I do good business, the better my reputation.

man, that's old school.
