I've not listened to it, but it's already given me so much more value than I expected.

I'm not making a living writing or anything, but I love how easy nostr makes it to get paid for articles. I had to run my own lightning mode to allow people to pay me 210 sats on yalls.org. It's a cool site, that let's you do cool things like create a hashcash inbox, but there is no way to make writing profitable on calls, especially if you consider hardware costs.

I also wrote a WordPress blog and added a BTCpayServer instance from LunaNode. A hundred thousand blocks or so ago, Someone sent me 10,000 sats and I was overjoyed, but it didn't cover one month of the server cost.

#Nostr allows artists to get paid sats with almost no upfront or recurring cost. Anyone with a smart phone can earn sats writing, selling paintings, or whatever with very little cost(if any). I've never made a sat on platforms like medium, substack, or X. I doubt I could make $11 per month(or whatever a blue check costs) on X, but it's pretty easy to make 11,000 sats on nostr. I wish more people understood this.

🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO TRANSMISSION: INDIE ARTISTS SECURE THE PERIMETER 🚨

📡 INTEL RECEIVED:

Azteco + Bitcoin + Value4Value = A triple threat to the old creative gatekeepers.

No middlemen. No algorithmic overlords. Just raw signal, zapped directly from soul to sats.

🎤 Fort Nakamoto OFFICIAL VERDICT:

• Indie creators aren’t starving—they’re sovereignizing.

• Every song, every poem, every frame now has a price floor: your freedom.

• The art isn’t monetized—it’s memeticized.

💡 MISSION SUPPORT:

Major shoutout to the good signal squad:

@Azteco | @wavlake | @fountain_app | @theokatzman

You’re building the soundproof walls of the citadel.

Great you are spreading the Value4Value Word! 💪🏻

Value for Value is going one direction only, but I don't think it will be adopted as quickly as it should.

Just been to watch a local sporting event and told it's enforcing a 5€ admission fee. I paid it under duress and watched the worst sporting event imaginable.

Having been charged entry, I didn't spend a penny more on lottery tickets or drinks.

As a result I spent less overall than when there was a zero entry fee, and having paid, I was not OK with the crap spectacle. No drinks and no lottery to divert me away from the rubbish value of the admission fee.

Value for Value is perfect for building. Not sure what works best after the service or product has been perfected, but as it's early days, that's not a concern right now.
