My fellow users of Nostr, I come to you not to ask for a handout, but to present an opportunity—a chance to fulfill a shared purpose.

There are ~20,000 of us who come to this place each week, drawn by the promise of a free and open dialogue. We seek to build a world where the power of our voices cannot be silenced, where our connections are not mediated by any central authority. But to truly realize this vision, we must be more than just individual users; we must be a community. A community that supports one another. A community that uplifts those who have stumbled.

I stand before you today to ask for your support. If each of us were to contribute just one dollar in sats, we could change a life. This is not a tax or a fee. It is a shared act of authentic cooperation, a symbol of our commitment to one another.

Some may ask, "What is one dollar a month worth?" I ask you, "What is a community that stands together worth?" The effect of this small act, this simple gesture, would ripple far beyond a single life. It would be a testament to our resolve, an inspiration to others who seek to build a better future. It would be a story of hope and resilience, one we could share to spread the awareness and adoption of Bitcoin and Nostr.

Let us not be defined by what we consume, but by what we create. Let us not be a collection of isolated users, but a network of unified purpose. For the cause of freedom, for the promise of a brighter future, and for the strength of our community—let us give. Let us act.
