*Built on the sufficiently decentralized Farcaster network and fueled by the Tezos chain ecosystem.*

Why not just use Nostr and Bitcoin?

**Why am I bullish on Nostr?**

Open protocols are the backbone of a fair and decentralized internet. They allow for innovation, competition and collaboration, enabling a level playing field for all. By using open protocols, we can ensure that no single entity has control over the flow of information and that everyone has equal access to all of the protocol's benefits. Adopting open protocols also helps to protect our privacy, security, and ensures that the internet remains a public good for future generations. This is why Nostr (and Bitcoin) will win. **This is why we never stop innovating. This is why we never stop building.**

good morning, stay humble and stack sats 🤙

It took over 5 years for my Twitter account to hit 2000 followers. At the rate I’m gaining on nostr / damus, I will pass that in a few weeks. The difference is that followers here are real people not bots who have interesting things to say. I learn something new here every day. #plebchain

I am excited for the upcoming Damus App Store wave of new Nostr users. We'll need to have plenty of guides and links available for them, to help them on their Nostr journey. I'm sure this next wave will bring about many users that aren't familiar with the power of the Lightning network too, so have your Lightning guides and sats ready for tipping. Nostr is a great introduction to value for value content and how easily Lightning integrates and solves these scenarios. We know this, but they may not. Lastly, we'll need to show them the power of 🤙🏻 Exciting times are ahead.

Congrats 🤙

I agree here. That said, in the beginning, when I first came here two weeks ago, it made it easy to find people to follow. But now, it's just spammy and puts me into the middle of conversations. I would be okay to see this changed.

Someone mentioned data usage being a problem

How many relays did you have before?

I am one of those you speak of! Setting up my first bitcoinpay/lightning nodes along with nostr relay. Fun to stumble through new tech!

Isn't that the Ethereum 🤮🤮

I cannot wait for a Nostr client that allows image uploading and posting. Image hosting has a cost association, though. I don't mind paying for hosting. Maybe a sats for images subscription service?
