GM all you beautiful nostriches

Had a couple requests. Only a matter of time, just need the right reason to!

Buying bitcoin does involve some risk, like it could fail for example but how would you get anywhere in life without taking some risk?

Because people want bitcoin

Someone send me Valentine’s sats 🥺❤️

When I look at pictures of the great pyramids in Egypt all I can think about is the tremendous amount of slave labor that would have been required to build those things (the pyramids were originally covered in white *polished!* limestone so it would glimmer in the sunlight). More than half the population would have been slaves to these crazy rulers who thought they were gods on earth. What the world doesn’t realize today is that when 90%+ of the global population is in debt up to their eyeballs with no glimmer of hope to ever pay off their rolling and ever increasing debts, we are living in a very similar situation. One difference between then and now is at least the Egyptian knew they were slaves.

The main reason I like nostr is for the type of people who currently use it.

My people. 💜

It saddens me that this will soon change as the protocol grows up.

#[0] got it and see it 🍻🔥

Nostr will have so many killer features down the rode. None of them are probably even known or started to be worked on yet. The "Other Stuff" is were the fun will be.

Value for Value will be our killer feature on Nostr

I asked the other day if Nostr was the killer feature for Lightning or if Lightning was the killer feature for Nostr. It's a little bit of both, isn't it? Why? Because Nostr allows us to reward value with value.

One of our major successes of value for value on Nostr will be the ability for content creators to generate value from their content without relying on traditional advertising methods. This not only allows creators to connect with their followers on a deeper level, but also gives them more control over the monetization of their content.

Another success of value for value on Nostr will be the increased engagement and loyalty from followers. When users are given the option to support their favorite content creators through financial contributions, it creates a deeper connection between both parties. This not only benefits the creator, but also helps to build a stronger and more supportive community.

And the most important part? It simply just feels good to both send and receive sats. It feels good to send value to others. It feels good to receive value for your work.

Keep Zapping. 🤙
