The currency caste system:

A very small number of rich countries print high-quality fiat (for now) to buy stuff while the overwhelming number of countries can’t and instead have to export stuff *we* want (instead of focus on making stuff they need) to earn high-quality fiat

This currency caste system ensures that most countries never develop sovereignty and instead grow dependency

But! This caste system is completely upended if all countries and people eventually settle in the same global neutral currency that no one state or group of states can print arbitrarily

This is the ultimate promise of Bitcoin: ending the global monetary inequality that enriches a tiny few by causing needless suffering for so many

If you go to Global, and tap the filter icon in the top right (on Damus at least) you can choose which relays to turn on and off.

You’ll find that disabling some of the free relays will reduce spam, and the paid ones will likely show more posts from people you follow or would likely engage with

I’m not familiar with that particular relay, but that’s the idea with paid relays in general

I just payed 5000 sats for a relay:

I chose wss://nostr.bitcoinplebs.de (random choice to experiment)

My feed looks exactly the same... Are there any good resources anyone can point me to to learn what I just did?

What paid relays do I use?

wss://eden.nostr.land

wss://puravida.nostr.land

wss://atlas.nostr.land

wss://relay.orangepill.dev

wss://nostr.milou.lol

wss://nostr.wine

wss://relay.bitblockboom.com

wss://relay.nostrplebs.com

Why use a paid relay? 1) less spam 2) pay for a service that you're using.

How do you get less spam on a paid relay? Many clients allow you to pick which relays your global/universe feed comes from. This essentially gives global/universe a pay wall.

Paying for a service just feels right. Infrastructure and server resources cost money. People that run these pieces of nostr need to be paid for their work. This keeps nostr running.

Tally?

What's the difference between a Lightning tip and a Zap? Not a whole lot. Zaps are Lightning tips that interact with Nostr, that's it. If you want your Lightning tip to be tallied, counted, and displayed on Nostr, you need a Zap compatible Lightning wallet. Here they are:
