nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

as someone that's never had a bagel

what makes for a great bagel and what's the best one you've had?

Doggo not happy I'm leaving for the weekend!

Stay humble. Stack Sats. Such a great mantra.

When it comes to wealth preservation and Bitcoin in general, your ego can be a major hindrance - my goal is:

1) to understand what is the best way to preserve and grow my personal net worth so I can have a life of abundance, success and love that I don’t have to ‘retire’ from.

2) to understand bitcoin and why it is the key to the above.

3) to acquire as much bitcoin as I possibly can while staying in consensus with my desires to help others.

4) to live a life of expanding authentic creation, using bitcoin as an abundance amplifier, inspiring others around me to do the same.

If you discover this path, your ego has no place.

There’s no need to get even, get invited, get offended, get noticed, get praised, get pissed, or any other “get” based things the ego is so good at.

When you understand bitcoin, and understand what your unique superpower/ability is … the thing that gives you purpose, and doesn’t feel like work … the ego is not required at all.

You must tame the ego, because it will try to take control.

Stay Humble. Stack Sats.

Good morning nostr, enjoying my coffee and getting ready for the day. Lots to do today, but not sure where i'll start. I just put 2 rabbits in the crockpot, and i might shred the meat and make "chicken salad" with rabbit. Yall have a great Tuesday nostr friends, and remember to do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #grownostr #homesteading
