Cross posting my macro stuff here was my early intent, but I ran into frictions. I would start to but then forget to post stuff here. And some of the early desktop clients kind of sucked for posting images. Primal is making that better.

I found myself naturally posting “insider updates” about my book progress and stuff. And occasionally ranting about things. That’s what felt natural. Posting macro content here always felt like a chore. There are studies that show how hard it is to be “native” on two or more social media platforms. You can easily cross-post, but actually *understanding* the culture of different ecosystems is really hard. Reposting often feels hollow, especially because there is a big bitcoin community here but not a big macro community, and most of the small macro community that is here catches my stuff elsewhere anyway.

The more I think about it, unique content is best. Cross posting doesn’t hurt but it’s not the key driver. And the only unique content that will be genuine is stuff I feel uncomfortable or uninterested in posting on Twitter.

If you didn’t have to pay taxes, but you still had to place that capital somewhere that benefited society (ie: not personal leisure or luxury), where would you place it?

Instead of doing it randomly, maybe I should think about doing a handful of heart-to-heart notes on Nostr. Like when I’m annoyed by something, I put it in my Nostr category and write about it here. All my articles, books, interviews, and tweets can talk about my macro stuff, and here I can talk about human stuff. That is so far how I find myself using it.

People need a reason to be on Nostr. For some power users, they have good technical discussions here. For others, the inverse network effect can be hard. Plenty of people join, look around, and leave.

So I wonder, what content can I post only on Nostr that would be useful for helping Nostr adoption? The more I think about it, there are some thoughts I would share to a smaller group on Nostr and not to 600k followers on Twitter.

Even though notes can become kind of immortalized, sharing to a smaller and more selected group feels better. And if it’s a tech protocol I want to succeed, what can I put here to encourage people to come? Should I post my same macro stuff here as an afterthought? Or should I use it to post unique content that somehow feels better expressed here, for now? Seems like that’s a better option.

Jimmy Song is coming to London Ontario this week and we'll be hosting him for a "Financial Literacy & Free Shawarma Night" Tuesday July 25 at Tahinis.

I had an idea to play a quick game of Psyop Bingo where instead of numbers, the spaces are fake news slogans and psyop news headlines from the last few years.

Things like:

"2 weeks to flatten the curve"

"Inflation is transitory"

Does anyone creative want to get paid to create like 30 or 40 of these phrases so I can plug them into a bingo card generator & print them off?

Stop tryna give me a job Brad lol

Anyone from Iran here?
