I'm working on a video and in-person presentation about #Nostr for non-Bitcoiners. Been digging into the numbers ( let me know if you spot any errors) and it's pretty fascinating to see:

#YouTube Creator:

- 30% cut to YouTube

- 20–30% Income tax

Leaves about $25 for every $50 earned.

If you save that $25, after 8 years at 10% inflation YoY, it would be worth about $12 in today’s purchasing power.

#v4v Model:

- No middlemen

- 20–30% Income tax

- No capital gains taxes if you don’t convert to fiat (most places)

- +45% CAGR if you hold it long term

If held for 8 years, $25 of sats would be worth ~$553 at a 45% CAGR. Considering 10% inflation YoY it could buy $258 of goods in today’s purchasing power in 8 years.

It’s clear v4v isn't sustainable short-term without savings or another form of income, but it operates on a completely different timeline. YouTube ads and other mainstream monetization models are firmly rooted in the fiat world while v4v is about manifesting the reality in which we wish to live; a higher timeline ⚡️✨
