Using Zaps for crowdfunding is a unique way for individuals to raise bitcoin for their projects.

I recently ran a successful Zapraiser campaign, exceeding my goal of 5.67M sats. I will be forever grateful for those that contributed to the Zapraiser. No matter the amount Zapped, from 1 sat to 1M sats, each Zap brought a smile to my face. Thank you again for your support. I will be booking my travel arrangements for Latvia soon, most likely using the Travala website, as they directly accept bitcoin. I won't have to do any conversions, selling, or buying of Visa cards. I will continue to keep all of you posted. 💜

Using Zaps on Nostr provides a platform for individuals to gain exposure for their projects and ideas. Value for value, Proof-of-Work, and reputation are widely accepted concepts within the Nostr community. By creating a Zapraiser campaign on Nostr, people can share their vision within a community that recognizes these view points, endorses them, and potentially gain the support they need.

Zaps provide a unique and powerful way for individuals to fund their projects using bitcoin. Whether you're an developer looking to launch a new product or a creator looking to bring your vision to life, Zaps on Nostr can provide the support and exposure you need to succeed.

Zaps allow individuals to bypass traditional funding channels, such as banks or investors, and instead receive support directly from a community of supporters via bitcoin. This can be especially beneficial for those who may not have access to traditional funding sources or who want to maintain complete control over their project.

Zaps on Nostr allow for transparency from both the Zapper and the Zappee - all of it is public information that can be tracked.

I believe as time moves forward, we'll see more and more of these Zapraiser events and campaigns as people look to directly fund their campaigns and projects themselves. Especially now that we've seen as a community we can crowdfund projects together. This also means that we'll need to stay vigilant and protect one another.

Pura vida 🤙

There are those that think Bitcoin needs marketing and promotion so people will adopt it. Unsurprisingly, these are generally marketers and promoters. They start promoting altcoins when they realize Bitcoin doesn't need them.

Then there are those that believe Bitcoin is the best money and that it's adoption is inevitable and prepare accordingly.

Thanks so much for sharing, love how many people are passionate about P2P exchanges but we need more people using them!

Yes, we have to keep on spreading the message. I never heard of agoradesk.com so I’ll try them out

Strike uses Bitcoin’s Lightning Network to make digital payments faster, cheaper, and more accessible for people globally. With Send Globally, dollars are converted into bitcoin and sent via the Lightning Network to a third-party partner. That partner converts the bitcoin into local currency, and sends the local currency directly to the recipient’s bank.

It was not Satochis vision but most of the Bitcoin ecosystem today centres around custodial exchanges and wallets that charge fees, collect sensitive information about our activity, and constantly rug pull us intentionally or due to hacks and theft.

We need to be using P2P & KYC free exchanges and #[0] gives us some great options in his recent article.

My favourites are RoboSats and HodlHodl

In the 1940s, the last time public debt was this high, the state banned people from fleeing to alternative ledgers as they destroyed their own ledger. They blocked the exits as the fire burned.

They didn't have social media, rapid bank withdrawals, or bitcoin. In this era, we can have a different outcome. Blocking exits to an alternative ledger, is an admission of a failed ledger.

Attempts a blockages should be expected. Pushback is necessary.

They are trying to block exits from the fiat system to bitcoin and it will get more difficult to use Exchages so stop using them now. Use P2P and KYC free solutions like HodlHodl, RoboSats & #[0]

Great rip #[0], #[1] really does know how the fiat system works and that’s saying something considering it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! This is a mind-blowing conversation
