GN #nostr 💜

THE TRICK TO NEVER GET CAUGHT IN A LIE IS TO NEVER TELL ONE.

FOR NOSTR TO BE SUCCESSFUL THERE NEEDS TO BE MANY GREAT APPS.

IF A FEW APPS DOMINATE, NOSTR LOSES.

"Laser how can I fix my marriage?"

Work hard on yourself *before* the breakup.

Tomorrow, literally, stop framing every day in terms of her mood and happiness/discontent, stop depending on her emotionally, and start making you admire yourself again.

I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…

Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:

First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.

In the last 24 hours I sent:

-199 zaps

- 60,000 sats

- Average of 301 sats per zap

- Second most sats zapped on the day

What happened:

- Gained 87 new followers

- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65)

- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)

After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷

I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…

I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…

That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.

My next test:

Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.

Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…

We’ll see how it goes 🫡

I’ve been talking about this for a long time. Two contradictory forces - one: manipulated money, coercion, and control —-versus the other: a global free market allowing prices to fall.

In over 5000 years of human history, we have never had a global free market because we have never had truly decentralized and secure money. In other words, “we” must be part of the problem. Ie - our short term incentives conflict with our longer term “beliefs”.

That is what is going on here and every person has a choice (not just the rich telling you how to live) If everyone chooses to trust others with their #bitcoin and bitcoin becomes only a store of value, it will eventually centralize and fail.

If enough people realize the risk of centralization and pricing in a USD derivative, hold in self custody, run a node, spend in it, help others build to it, the protocol will reprice all of those trying to centralize. (And those holding on those exchanges)

Ps - This path is inevitable in my mind and only a matter of time preference.

This is also the choice when you spend more of your time on #Nostr. You are part of an early group of people who understand deeply how their own time matters in creating the world they say we want to live in.

Happy holidays and welcome to #Bitcoin and #Nostr. It’s been amazing to watch your journey down the rabbit hole since our lunch together.
