Just went to log in to nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4 and there's no log in with #nostr function? I though that had been added? I can't remember which waller I used to use to sign in now either, but it's not the one I just tried.

Yes there is, only on Desktop though!

Should we do a community-voting grant for Nostriga? ๐Ÿ‘€

All Nostr startups compete for votes using 'Incremental voting'. Votes are cast with Zaps from Nostr or contributions on Geyser.

Check out our last one at Bitcoin Nashville: https://geyser.fund/grants/10

"The main goal of using Geyser is not fundraising, but getting visibility and validation for my project. "

Did you know you can now support #Bitcoin innovators via nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4 with Relai app?

It's relai simple: just use code 'GEYSER' when you buy bitcoin

Geyser Grants has supported 200 creators so far.

The issue?

Those are rookie numbers, and we have to pump them up!

Stack Sats and support Bitcoin creators by adding code "GEYSER" next time you use Relai!

Thank you, frens! What an amazing initiative you're doing. Thank you for supporting Bitcoin creators! ๐Ÿซฐ

Hey Alex!

The Bushido of Bitcoin by nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m is a great example of the type of Rewards you can sell on Geyser.

Get your friend over here, so they can experience the power of Lightning, Bitcoin and Nostr!

Let's support Julian Assange!

We opened up a Geyser Fund: all sats will be forwarded to Julian to cover his repatriation and health costs.

We've redesigned the Milestones from the ground up to make them more powerful, intuitive, and fun.

-----

1/ Contribute to any goal

Contributors can select which goal to fund. This empowers them to decide which goals to pursue first, making the process more engaging.

Example:

๐ŸŽง As a podcaster, you can let your fans vote with their sats on which episode to release next

-----

2/ Start a new goal without any carry-over

Goals are independent of each other. Each one starts at $0 regardless of previous funding.

Example:

โ™ป๏ธ Instead of creating multiple projects, creators with various interests can use the same project for different independent purposes

-----

3/ Denominate goals in USD or Sats

To measure progress in the way that makes the most sense, you can choose to denominate each goal in either Sats or USD.

Example:

๐Ÿ‘• If your goal involves fiat costs, you can set your goal in USD to avoid the volatility of Bitcoin.

-----

4/ Make goals fun!

You can write a description for each goal. And in the coming weeks, you'll be able to add some fun by adding emojis ๐Ÿฅฉ ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿ’ก

Itโ€™s common for those new to bitcoin to refer to it and altcoins together as โ€œcrypto.โ€ They often bring their preconceptions with them, such as the importance of diversifying their investments, in case one falls while another rises. In this chapter, nostr:npub1zjx3xe49u3njkyep4hcqxgth37r2ydc6f0d7nyfn72xlpv7n97ss73pvrl, nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, and nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m shine a light on what bitcoin ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ is, how it differs from crypto, and why it should not be considered an investment, but simply the best form of money.

Below is Aleksandar Svetskiโ€™s answer, as written in โ€œ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿญ ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€โ€:

๐—”๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ธ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ:

This common question has a very simple answer.

Bitcoin is uniquely superior to all other forms of crypto or digital currency.

Why?

Because Bitcoin solved a very specific problem: The issuance of money.

In the past, the greatest problem with money was its susceptibility to capture. He who controls (or issues) the money controls everything else. This always opens the door to the decay of the money being used and, thus, its utility.

This is not the case with Bitcoin. While all other money can be captured, Bitcoin cannot. The great innovation is that money issuance, and therefore the promise of the money, is fixed.

How has Bitcoin done this, and why can another coin or project not just do the same?

๐™๐™ฌ๐™ค ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™™๐™จ: ๐™‹๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™™๐™š๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ฎ.

Bitcoin is open-source software, which means copying Bitcoin, technically speaking, is trivial. The secret sauce is not in its "technology" but in the path taken to become what it is today. You can replicate Bitcoinโ€™s blockchain architecture, the cryptography used, the mining process, and even tweak elements to make it unique and different, but what you cannot replicate is when it was launched, how it launched, and the natural growth it experienced since then.

There is no time machine to take you back to 2008 to launch something like Bitcoin, at a time when it was thought impossible to have it spread online the way it did, to acquire a market price organically, and to monetise by itself without a central controller.

Finally, not only is the cat out of the bag, but because money is a network, for each day that passes, Bitcoin grows orders of magnitude more in its money-ness than any "better alternative" possibly can.

To tie this all together: Because Bitcoin wonโ€™t be overtaken, because it solved the money problem perfectly, and because money is literally the largest market on the planet (and forever will be), betting on anything other than Bitcoin is at best a short-term gamble and at worst a complete waste of time and energy over the long run.
