Twitch takes 50% from subs and tips and they keep 70% of the ad revenue spammed on viewers. Trovo takes 50% from subs and tips and viewers have to pay for "Trovo Ace" to not get spammed with ad banners on the site. On YT content creators must have over 1,000 channel subs to be eligible for a share from ad revenue... should I continue?

On Nostr... you get 100% of your zaps. The future of monetarising online content is right there, in front of us. Let's BUIDL!

#[7] what would be nice is a simple UI that allows a content creator to add his lightning address retuning an alert url for OBS. Then whenever someone zaps that address the amount, sender and note trigger a callback event triggering the stream alert on screen.

Sounds so simple does it not?

Do you mean those crypto influencer who've been preaching decentralisation for years on YT only to then throw a fit on Twatter every time their channel gets deleted or phantom censored cutting of their revenue stream from ads?

For all I care they can stay on YT. They're just hypocrites looking to monetarise on their viewers.

Today's BTC foreign exchange rate for Bitcoiners:

1 USD = 4,033 sats

1 EUR = 4,315 sats

1 GBP = 4,853 sats

1 CAD = 2,998 sats

1 AUD = 2,790 sats

For everyone else: 1 #Bitcoin = $24,810

#Bitcoin is a journey but once you're on your way, there is no turning back!

Meanwhile in Canada: "Freezing bank accounts was a powerful tool to discourage participation and to incentivize protestors to leave". Now imagine what they'll do once people consent to #CBDC's. #Bitcoin fixes the weaponization of money against the crowd. #NOCBDC

Good Morning. Have a great week! ☕

Basically there is only people. everything else is tribal behaviour and hasn't really worked out for us... ever. To me there is only people I get on with and people I don't get on with and everything else is man-made separation.

We're all beautiful, we're all purple. Everything else is personal choices and discrimination in "crypto"graphy

I didn't see this! thanks a lot!

Did he really just say that coins don't live on the chain? Statements like this is why some people think they can take "self-custody of their coins".

OMG, this guy...

Once you've lived in my countries, experienced many different cultures and you've met many decent and less decent people you'll realise that we're all foreigners and thus, there is no such thing. We are all beautiful, we're all purple. 💜

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

Twitter has to deal with stuff such as "compliance" and taking the role of being a "money handler" which then comes with forcing your users to KYC and AML for broken regulatory frameworks. Nostr on the other hand is decentralised with no CEO's to hold responsible for any of the above.

But yes, Twitter "could have" aimed at doing this years ago. Perhaps that's why they've now applied for required licensing so that Elon can pump - I mean - offer people to use doge or elon coin in the future?

The future is bright and purple. Purple cookie Kush for all 420 plebs on #plebchain.
