An interesting dynamic in Nostr is the fact that despite competition, progress in one client just helps every other client.

People buying sats with Apple Pay > zaps > support for other users and or developers > more services and features > better clients > more users > more zaps. It's a never-ending cycle where everyone wins.

WIN-WIN dynamic! šŸ§”šŸ’œ

Kind of like the dynamic in all decentralized stuff..

šŸ’ÆAbsolutely, primal has realized part of our product ideas in advance and purchased sats through Apple pay. We just donated through Apple pay. The development speed of their team is so fast, and it also helps us verify product ideas in advance, which is inspiring for every client. This is a chemical reaction of a decentralized and diverse client ecosystem that has never been seen before.

That's the free market!!

Exactly!

I’m very interested to know what platforms your able to purchase bitcoin using Apple Pay.

Primal, it’s great fun. Small sat purchases, zap on nostr. Really great idea šŸ¤™

How does the exchange part work?

Just downloaded the app. And I bit confused. I had to create a new account in nostr and it seems to be a whole different layer on top of Nostr?

I'm going to slip in this as further proofing to this post,:

I'm a web clients only guy, & don't judge me for reading this post from 'core cal' = coracle.social/

&& then replying to this post from my other web client 'snort' = snort.social/

Get this my fellow new'-sters', I'm logged on All of them with the same pub/priv' key pair'' . I'm not a code, but my stuff is with me wherever I go! So, yes that does makes some sense to you? Hmm

any ways, I am reflecting as to why I'm on all five, & possibly two more Web clients soon![^1] , please pray for my well-being!

this is the promise of nostr, anyways. it’s a multiclient world and no single ideology gets to dictate a client should or shouldn’t do. pretty cool

People can buy sats with applepay?

Yes. On Primal's app on Apple

But my maxi ethos is challenged by using an app like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg that lies in the Apple cage. Time will tell if I can bend the bars of my maxi cage to enjoy this experience. How about you, anon?

It’s not like fakebook, twitter or the rest of corporate social media where you only have one client.

You don’t need to ever use Primal and yet you still might benefit from the effect the author of the note is talking about :)

Yes!! Curious, does Apple take a cut of every in app sat purchase made in primal? That’s kind of wild…

As a test, I checked the amount without buying anything and it looks like you’d get about 2000 fewer sats than market rate. I doubt Primal even makes much off of this if anything at all. It’s shocking what Apple is allowed to get away with here just for being a middleman.

Highway robbery. I’m pretty sure they don’t take a cut when people buy sats on cash app for example. It’s a crazy double standard.

It’s good that someone else says it. All of us at Nostr must applaud these advances that help increase adoption.

Let’s leave the paranoia of privacy a little.

Good prevails through [said] virtuous cycle , evil through slowing this cycle down, for no one could ever stop it ! It may be late - but it's never "never".

Positive sum games are the best games to play.
