Nostr jams with #[0]​ are becoming a real highlight of my week!

In this episode we cover:

- Nostrica

- Nostr’s growth vs other major internet companies

- Badges

- Unexplored use cases

- Lots of new nostr projects

Check it out!

Likewise!

I think a good mvp could be just creating a note for a specific bounty then pledging to contribute whatever is zapped toward the project. Obviously requires trust in the creator but I think that’s ok for now

Another excellent article from #[0]​on the⚡️liquidity flywheel and the future of LSPs:

Roy is once again paving the way for a world where incentives align to create a bigger pie for everyone. Kudos!

Haha I’ve always wondered this as well!! #[3] do you pronounce Spanish style (“ya”) or English (“l”). I assumed Spanish then heard others using English…

I had a really fun conversation with #[0] yesterday!

We discussed the state of the ⚡️and nostr ecosystems, why zaps are such a big deal, how evolution directs the shape of technology, bounties + the future of capital formation, and a whole bunch of exciting new nostr projects. Check it out!

i mostly agree, but there’s a lot to unpack here.

i wrote a tweet alluding to similar themes, but from a somewhat different perspective: https://twitter.com/dksf/status/1621604620744392704

AI focused social behaviors may be the one exception I can imagine given what i’ve seen/believe to be true.

but yeah, i think anyone building in social should try to understand what’s going on with nostr since it represents a new form of gravity in internet publishing

any interest in making a video with me to discuss these topics further? i’m sure we can accommodate pseudonymous participation assuming you prefer that?

Great take, #[3]!

AI point is spot on. I do think the other apps on nostr will be able to monetize as well (though perhaps at much smaller scale), but I agree that a traditional corporate structure may not be the best vehicle for many of these. It would be really cool to see successful bitcoin and nostr startups have more decentralized exit options than traditional IPO. Or perhaps most of the value will just accrue back to BTC / major routing nodes anyway…
