BREAKING: OPENSATS ANNOUNCES FUNDING FOR 12 ADDITIONAL NOSTR PROJECTS BRINGING TOTAL TO 31 🫡

We are trying quick actions on Damus when you tap on a user avatar in the feed. Which option would you choose?

The idea is to show actions such as buy me a coffee or zap(since we can’t zap a note) and even send message without going to their profile.

Any thoughts? Feedback? Comments? Issues with this proposed design?

I have just published my latest film "Follow the Money Part 4 - Argentina's Inflation Crisis". In this film, I travel to Buenos Aires to understand Argentina's economic crisis.

I want to say a massive thanks to Iris Energy for sponsoring this film.

After a few months in the „developed“ world this is my last week in Europe for a few months.

Unless someone is setting out to be a professional author (very hard), nobody should write a book to make money.

When I set out to write Broken Money, it was because I *had* to, not because I wanted to. Spending a thousand hours on something that I get a profit of $5/copy for is not my best use of time.

Any time I spent on my research business revenue generation content, or leaning harder into my venture capital partnerships, would have been better on an hourly ROI basis. I have to sell 40 books to equal each newsletter subscription on my website; clearly the latter is better financially.

Almost regardless of how many copies I sell, it's a bad ROI for me. I'm overworked and the fact that I wrote a book while maintaining my existing business stressed my relationship and social life. And further, I am reinvesting most of my initial profits; the first 1,000 copy profits go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund, and the next 4,000 copy profits will go towards making a video about money and why it's broken.

And all of it was worth it. When a creator has something in their head, it's painful until they get it out into the world. I wrote this for bad ROI but because I wanted it to be out there for people to read, period.

Will I make a profit? Yes. But at a much lower hourly rate than I make on other work I do. It's a negative profit compared to having reinvested that thousand hours into my other existing work. But I consider it to be more important, which is why I spent the time.

I wrote Broken Money because I had to. The book concept formed in my head after many years of writing and research regarding money, and it would have been increasingly distracting to *not* write it. I didn't realistically have a choice. I felt compelled to write it. Part of it was altruistic; I wanted people to learn from my total monetary framework thoughts over five years of research. Part of it was egotistical; I wanted to timestamp something in the world, in physical form, and put it out there. Maybe it's the low time preference part of me; I'd like something of me to be mentionable to people in the distant future who look back at this time.

My background has been a blend of engineering and finance, with both ironically pointed toward bitcoin.

If your 40 white Porches short.

Here is your chance.
