Was thinking about something along those lines. DM me your email and I’ll share something I put together

Nostr 2024:

Mmm…maybe one or two things.

Mayyyyybe. Life seems to have opened other doors after some were closed

Oof…this is a VERY good mental model.

Take note / save / bookmark:

I think the answer to the opening question will end up being resolved at the client level.

And maybe Nostr becomes something we don’t lead with as much

At least that’s what I’m starting to think…

Bro. Get your wallet set up! I still can’t zap you. This was 🤌🏼

😂👌

It’s a new kind of Nostr client. Hard to compare it to anything else out there. It’s part Instagram, part Google maps, part meetup.com and part NomadList.

Comes out in November..

YES! Reach out to nostr:npub1693220pmp0a4c04a0p7hkz874vsxkyfrvtk2yk4zjyj3e4c0ugjs3r4j0c - he will get you sorted

nostr:npub1zf8p8cdg67hhx46wvdm96yd2jc9z3hen5nf606edwhv26ummf4vssf7888 for daily philosophy

Saw a new one the other day which looked pretty based @chadhominem (I think that’s how it was spelled).

Accurate

Yeh. Zaps create in some ways a perverted incentive to say what you think you want people to hear. Not what’s actually valuable.

A lot we’re not understanding here

Typical leftoids 😂

That’s not entirely true. But it is mostly true

Bitcoin has the luxury of time far more than Nostr does.

Why?

Because fiat money is actively collapsing. The need for bitcoin is stronger, and while it’s a more significant change (money is the base language) it’s got time on its side.

Nostr on the hand, if it doesn’t achieve some sort of escape velocity in the next 2-5yrs, is going to be relegated to the fringe because centralised providers are “good enough” for most people, and/or other networks will emerge (see the work TBD is doing for DIDs, and there’s much more).

The mistake is to think their paths are equivalent. They’re not. Bitcoin has a century to win. Nostr…a decade or two. Or somewhere thereabouts.

I appreciate the comment about the book. And I promise it will be the best Sats you’ve ever spent.

I’m also glad you’re not against marketing. But my position is that, for every 10,000 we’ll build software products, only a couple really achieve scale - and that’s due to (in some cases luck, but) superior go to market.

Cold card is case in point. It’s far superior to Ledger. But ledger outsells it 500:1

Now..this is fine for a general product like that. But network live and die by the density.

It’s very easy to lose network density and to get anti-network effects if messaging and go to market unclear.

We can have the best product/protocol, but if people don’t know where it “lives” in their minds, it’s all for naught.

I recommend Andrew Chen’s work on Network effects btw. His book “the cold start problem” is absolutely fantastic

Yes it would’ve, because nobody would’ve know about it.

Had Silk Road and Wikileaks not existed, or Roger Ver, Voorhees or Antonopolous to evangelise in the early days - bitcoin would’ve disappeared.

The very fact that businesses sprouted up, people discussed it, and entire communities of evangelists emerged is what got bitcoin the attention it needed to develop economic mass.

There’s no way around effective marketing and messaging.

I used to think that too. But look at the behaviour. People pass around “numbers on a screen” which don’t really mean much. There’s no significant net bitcoin entering. It’s mainly the same amount of bitcoin just switching hands amongst the same people.

So what’s happening, if we’re being objective, is that people are treating zaps more and more like likes or other reactions.

We need to think about this further. It’s far from an economic model like mining
