While I didn't plan to, I've recently accepted and started a new salaried position - it's only part time, so I can still focus on what I want to focus on, but it gives me a set regular income, which is something I'm unaccustomed to in the last decade or so.

That being the case, as I adapt to this new reality, I've decided to spend the equivalent of a few subscriptions to legacy services each month on nostr, so a small regular payment each month to a developer, a relay operator, an artist, a musician and more zaps. It ain't much, but I want to direct my energy to the people who do the things I want to see in the world, and that's you lot.

Seen some dunking on nostr and concern because of a drop in retention. Don't be concerned. Think big picture and long term. The numbers will build over time. What we've got here is great and well worth the effort.

Thank you, for your service and generosity! Congrats on your new position. May it be a blessing in the best ways possible.

Congrats on the position.

I dont worry about the drop off in retention. I'm not here to get my ego stroked but out of principle.

As the content diversifies away from bitcoin peiple will come home and stay.

We have to promtoe non-bitcoin content to increase its visibilty 😁

Numbers will gradually increase as the pressure is turned up on people. My long term goal is to move to being 100% #Nostr and #Bitcoin. it’s hard right now as value for value isn’t really where we would all like to see it, but we can truly say we are early.

Voting with your money - and Bitcoin is the best money i.e. the best vote - this is the way 💪🧡

Things change! Congratulations. Enjoy the new job. Staying solvent relieves a LOT of stress. Good luck!
