Hi isa 🤟🏴☠️😉 Japan may lead in technology, but its economy is still trapped in outdated central banking policies. Despite innovation, Japan struggles with low growth, deflation, and massive debt, all because of a financial system that controls the flow of money.
This issue isn’t unique to Japan it’s global. Central banks hold power, limiting personal financial freedom. But Bitcoin offers an escape. With decentralization, Bitcoin allows individuals to break free from these controlled systems, offering true economic freedom. In a world where traditional systems are failing, Bitcoin could be the key to financial sovereignty.
Tether’s investment in Be Water marks a strategic move to solidify its presence in the digital media landscape. With the 30.4% stake, Tether is positioning itself as a key player in shaping global narratives, especially in tech-driven content creation. This aligns with the broader trend of cryptocurrency companies diversifying their portfolios and venturing into industries like media, which are crucial for influencing public opinion and fostering innovation. By expanding beyond its core operations in the blockchain and crypto space, Tether is not only hedging its investments but also seeking to bridge the gap between traditional industries and the new, decentralized world.
As the influence of media continues to grow, it’s no surprise that blockchain-driven entities like Tether are making these bold moves. With its massive reserves, this could also be an attempt to maintain a competitive edge in the ever-changing digital ecosystem. It’ll be interesting to see how Tether’s involvement in media will shape its future trajectory and whether this will spark further collaborations with other content-driven platforms.
Exactly! Bitcoin isn’t just code it’s a revolution. Whether you build, educate, create, or simply opt out of the old system, you’re contributing. Permissionless means everyone has a role. Keep pushing forward! ⚡🔥 #Bitcoin #JustDoStuff
GN Nostr 🌙
Tomorrow, when you wake up, the world might not be the same.
Every day, something shifts quietly, subtly, then all at once. A policy changes, a market collapses, a technology disrupts, a truth is revealed. Most people sleep through it. But not here, not us.
We see the cracks forming before the dam breaks.
So, before you close your eyes tonight, ask yourself: Are you positioned for what’s coming? Or will you wake up too late?
#GN #Nostr #StayAhead #Bitcoin
Wow 😍
NOSTR!!! It's Friday. Let's play a game!
I completely, and unashamedly stole this idea from nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvq9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx9e8gmr3vdsnsu3kv96hjcthx4hr26pnds6ngv3jv3kngumj0y6kg7nxv4jngd3exen8zefcwvm8zem4v34hxdmydf6xvuelvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs5mzk3a 🤷
These are 4 test bars of the NEW Pine Tar Tallow. I have made these with a Hot Process, instead of cold. Nicer looking, imo. More rustic.
The person to make me BUST out in laughter, receives these for free. Just have to DM your shipping info. And,....go!
Hi soapminer 🤟🏴☠️😉
I walked into the primal house the other day in beautiful Uvita, and nostr:nprofile1qqsgqke57uygxl0m8elstq26c4mq2erz3dvdtgxwswwvhdh0xcs04scyt7yh7 asked me…
“If you were in my shoes (growth @ Primal), what would you do to grow Primal and Nostr?”
I’ve been thinking about this the last couple days…🤔
Here’s what I got:
First off, I feel like the biggest unlock for nostr is recruiting creators with existing audiences on other platforms to come over to nostr.
One creator with a massive following could lead to thousands of new nostr users…
We’ve seen this happen many times over…
Now play that out across hundreds of creators with large audiences - this could have a massive impact.
With that being said…
🤔 What’s the best way to recruit creators to the network at scale?
🤔 What’s an absolute no brainer offer to a large creator, something that they couldn’t say no to…?
🤔 Would “recruiting” creators even work? Should all growth here just be organic and natural…?
While I was thinking this through, I had to remind myself of a hurdle that we’d need to overcome to make this work:
Creators DON’T want another platform.
Most are already overwhelmed with the number of apps they need to post on and keep up with…
99.9% aren’t actively looking for “another social media”
So…
🧠💭 Here’s the plan 💭🧠
1️⃣ Target a group of top creators on X to recruit to Primal.
We’ll start with Health & Wellness creators since it feels pretty tangential to the existing (primarily bitcoin-focused) network.
ChatGPT deep research estimates there are 200,000 health & wellness influencers with over 50,000 followers on X.
2️⃣ Take that list and create nostr accounts for each.
Start auto-populating their accounts with their existing tweets.
Essentially, bridge the X accounts - whenver they post on X it auto-posts to Nostr. Now, the most critical step is ensuring that these accounts have a way to receive zaps - even before they’re “claimed”.
Sats would accumulate in their wallet until the user “claims” their account.
The more zaps they receive, the larger the incentive is to come over to nostr and actually claim their account (more on this soon)…
This would tap into into the existing nostr network to “vote with their sats” on who they want to see come over to the network…
It crowdsources the growth engine of the network.
📝Side notes/tangential ideas:
- Maybe Primal marks these accounts as “unclaimed/unverified” so it’s transparent
- After a certain number of days “Unclaimed” wallets get their sats sent back to the sender…?
- I’m not technical so idk how any of this would work… just dreaming up over here.
Now, let’s talk about setup and execution:
3️⃣ Cold Outbound system setup
Build out an email list of all of these creators in step 1.
Use a tool like TweetScraper or other email scraping tools.
Set up a cold email outreach system using Instantly AI…
Spin up a handful of domains and email inboxes - should be able to send 1000s of emails daily.
For some extra touch points set up Drippi AI for Twitter DM outreach out scale.
Now here’s where it get’s interesting…
4️⃣ The NO BRAINER pitch.
Message each creator with a short no brainer pitch…
Remember, 99% of creators don’t want another platform to post to…
This no brainer pitch is meant to get their foot in the door.
We’re not selling the full nostr vision (just yet)…
For now, we’re literally just going for the primal app download.
The pitch?
You have free BTC waiting for you, an audience that’s already growing, and it requires 0 effort to maintain since your account will auto-post from X.
Follow up with their updated stats every 14 days.
“You gained 197 followers and were zapped 21,538 sats these past 14 days… come claim your account and wallet”
This could be done at scale - sending thousands of these emails daily to targeted high profile creators.
5️⃣ is it even worth it…?
I had a conversation with nostr:nprofile1qqspywh6ulgc0w3k6mwum97m7jkvtxh0lcjr77p9jtlc7f0d27wlxpslh36g7 and he mentioned that it seems like all marketing efforts to grow primal/nostr are irrelevant and the only thing that moves the needle are big events…
Things like:
- Twitter banned in Brazil
- Telegram CEO arrest
- Ross Ulbricht joins nostr (soon 👀)
Macro events will likely always be the needle movers…
But imagine 100,000 creators already warmed up when the next big wave happens?
Lmk what you think 👇🏽
Hoping this sparks other ideas and conversations
Hi mike 🤟🏴☠️😉 The most useful and interesting post I've ever read in a month here on us! Real compliments! Brilliant ideas 💜🤝
Hi sooly 🤟🏴☠️😉 Well said. Success without sovereignty is just a fragile illusion. True wealth isn’t measured in numbers but in the ability to act independently, think freely, and build without permission. Bitcoin redefines not just money, but the very foundation of personal and financial freedom. The question is how many are ready to embrace that shift?
Why I'm bullish on #nostr ...
I'm on #nostr a whole lot more than I ever was on Twitter or Mastodon for two simple reasons ... the Vibe and the Tribe ... and now I'm staying here because of network effect ... I have more friends here and I like more people here than on other networks
Two great folks who come to mind when I say "vibe" are nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ug4n6q3 and nostr:nprofile1qqszd44fgen4ucpl3hjt7muuaazzqdahp3lwu9c07phdweelcdxf3ugpz4mhxue69uhkyetkduhxummnw3erztnrdakszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9enk2arpd338jtnrdakj7a33qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvhj9400 ... they're such fun and helpful ... and now I have a "tribe" ... good friends like nostr:nprofile1qqs2sr7y57rrfm3x4272e9gmfn7hk44wrzat6v794lw0d0kkmjqwh5gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzynhwden5te0dehhxarjve6kutnrdakst0lgry, nostr:nprofile1qqs0cu4wf0x3g99dg0qz795j5taln5caux0929tkazem59pd9wqkm0spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wfjkc6t5v4ejummjvuhsk8lzt0, nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjtqf9a0vx9wrr63g7e7tscfau7c5cj3w69pczpquqkfxa5vcwcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamnwvhj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tc8p6z8l, nostr:nprofile1qqsy07tafc9xgry2jc7nlfcanu9x4tv43ta9qhl0mmwk65577sfzaucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9ucg85lr
So, network effect came afterwards. First came the positive vibes from a great tribe. It's why I STAYED
Personally, I think the vibe and the tribe of eBay made it the success it is
The fundamental question is how do you get the vibe going? For me, it was discovering #nostr and #bitcoin and how much Papa nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ug4n6q3 helped with that. Then, I kept asking question upon question and incredibly patient folks like nostr:nprofile1qqstwf6d9r37nqalwgxmfd9p9gclt3l0yc3jp5zuyhkfqjy6extz3jcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxyunfva58gcn0d36zumn9wshszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9u5ehdyr were always there.
The success of any network is a very human thing ... vibe and tribe
Question is: how do you get them going?
#grownostr #plebchain
Nostr thrives because it’s built on something real freedom, innovation, and a community that actually cares. Vibe and tribe come first, but what keeps them alive is meaningful interaction. The key? Engage, contribute, and help others find their way here. The stronger the signal, the faster the network effect kicks in. ⚡🚀
Study geoengineering.
Very dark stuff, but it's important to understand the weapons at our enemy's disposal. https://video.nostr.build/32799822ef1c8d688f640e15d01d72117d8470e0c1f49f2a0965dd86a0a3f9b2.mp4
Hi ben 🤟🏴☠️😉 Geoengineering is the ultimate double-edged sword sold as a ‘solution’ but weaponized in ways most can’t even fathom. The real question: who controls the weather, and for whose benefit? Knowledge is power stay vigilant. ☠️🌍
Hi TK CTV 🤟🏴☠️😉 Big moves! 🚀 The Overton window is definitely shifting, but the real question is how do states replace that revenue without just sneaking in new taxes elsewhere? Cutting income tax is great, but true economic freedom means reducing overall government bloat too. Let’s see who gets it right!
Dividing the world into ‘NPCs’ and ‘players’ is the same mindset that leads to control structures in the first place. True sovereignty isn’t about exploiting others it’s about leading by example. If freedom isn’t for everyone, is it really freedom? 🤟😉🏴☠️
Hi criscyborg 🏴☠️🤟😉 nice to meet you 🤝 Absolute dominance! 🏆🔥 Your proof of work is undeniable 17 World Championship victories is legendary status. Breaking records and setting new standards. Huge respect for the dedication and grit! 💪👏
Hi karnage 🏴☠️🤟😉 Totally agree that throwing influencers onto a platform isn’t a growth strategy it’s a temporary boost at best. Real network effects come from actual utility and culture, not just imported audiences.
The real question is: what makes people stay? Bluesky looks like a Twitter clone with a different ethos, while Nostr is fundamentally something new. But we still have major hurdles UX, onboarding, retention.
What’s the key unlock that takes Nostr from early adopter enthusiasm to unstoppable? That’s what I’m thinking about.
Hi jeffG 🏴☠️😉🤟 Sending strength your way! 💪 Fever and solo parenting is a tough combo, but you’ve got this. Rest when you can, hydrate, and don’t be afraid to call in reinforcements if needed. Hope you feel better soon! 🙏🔥
