I grew up in a low-income family where we could barely afford basic necessities, until the 2014-2016 crisis in Venezuela hit and I had to drop out of university to work construction so we could have enough food to pass the month. Luckily, we never went hungry because everyone in my house worked.

One day, I got tired of working construction and saw an opportunity to sell bread outside my house because bread was scarce due to the crisis. The bread business was successful, and the flexible hours allowed me to have free time to research different ways to "make money online." I discovered a few forums that paid a little bit of sats for creating posts, and that's how I slowly started to get into the world of bitcoin. I began creating my first content to upload online and be rewarded for it. Unbeknownst to me, I had started to monetize my hobby of photography, which eventually became my way of surviving the crisis and even helping my poorest family members, who needed it most.

In the midst of all this crisis, many Venezuelans began to leave the country in search of a better future. Even all the people I grew up with in my home left, and today, I am the only one left in Venezuela from my family nucleus. My mom, dad, aunts, siblings, and cousins are all outside of Venezuela. I am the only one who stayed, and it is because of the power of bitcoin that I am still able to pay for my life in Venezuela. In some way, I am "living the dream" because I am living off of what I love to do, and that is thanks to bitcoin tecnology and all of you too.

You are an inspiration.

I just happened to write about ETF's on my blog today. How feasible is it to hope for an ETF that uses some sort of federated custody model? I'm sure it's a pipe dream, but who would I write a letter to to at least let the regulators know this is something bitcoin makes possible?

I joined nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy to discuss the nature of stablecoins, CBDCs, and the potential societal pitfalls of centrally controlled artificial intelligence. https://youtu.be/JOfcy5Y_PmA

I'm not sure what pod you mentioned email lists on, but you convinced me I need one. I write a blog using habla.news. How would I go about building an email list? I'm thinking of publishing my nostr blog on Substack. Is there a better way?

Zap this note to support my blog.

I highly recomend nostr.build. It's one of my favorite sites.

I hope so. There are so many things you can do with habla.news without writing any code.

It's my favorite blogging client. The human readable URL's are a game changer.

How can we get more long form content on to Nostr? This seems like a great place for blog posts, substack style newsletters, medium like posts, etc… But it’s not so easy. The wordpress plugins for nostr do unformatted short posts with links.

We added long form markdown support to rsslay, https://github.com/planetary-social/rsslay , but rsslay has some pretty big design flaws which can’t be fixed. It doesn’t act like a normal relay, it doesn’t store anything, instead each time you request an npub it goes and redownloads the rss feed associated, creates NEW events, and provides them once to that client that requested them, and then deletes the events from memory. So if multiple people follow a feed, they’re all slowly getting different versions of the event.

I want it to be easy, nicely formatted markdown, ideally with support for the paid subscription content stuff nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft is working on.

Thoughts? Has somebody built something? RSS is probably the easiest way although lots of formatted content in rss is a mess. It needs to be something that can push to multiple relays the way mostr does. It needs to import once, and then scale with the nostr network. Users who comment on the post need to be commenting on the SAME event, not multiple versions of the event.

We’re SO SO SO close to this working, yet somehow it doesn’t.

I've been researching astro-blog and asyncio to create a bridge between astro-blog and kind 30023 posts. This would be great because asteo-blog uses markdown so it should be better than the wordpress plugin.

I guess I should get back to work.

The session app is okay, but slow. I'm also not thrilled about the useless shitcoin, but it's not required to use the software.

Seth for Privacy has a great podcast about it.

I've been using Keybase a lot lately, but it's not as popular as it once was.
