Serious #bitcoin question: why are the transaction fees so high?

Wasn't the idea behind Bitcoin to have a currency that had ridiculously low transaction fees?

Steak

Bitcoin

Coffee.

Name better things.

I really didn’t expect this kind of reply when I said this … I just wanted to test zap a few notes 😅

Gotta be more careful around here 🤣 nostr:note1mq5f6avjhw92fn455zvatshs8t0s69jp6hladghtp8c282du4glq3v7mkf

Heard a wild story this week

A16 year old boy in NZ was caught having sex with his neighbour, a 9 year old girl, and the case was going through the legal system

His online browsing history was full of porn with under-age girls, which undoubtedly hugely influenced his actions

Context being: we were talking about the risks of mobile phones with kids

When do you allow your child a phone? When is an appropriate age to be browsing online?

As a Nostr user I am of course pro online freedom

But what happens in this type of scenario?

With daughters it scares the shit out of me…

Isso somente até o fim do dinheiro físico.

Boleto não é a forma com mais privacidade para comprar #Bitcoin , #Depix é!

Depix o Governo tem o controle do seu pix até o depix e só.

A partir dali, não tem como saber se você comprou bitcoin ou usdt por exemplo, por causa da privacidade total da rede Liquid.

“Ah, mas o Governo vai saber que eu comprei depix”.

Sim!

Porém, como é uma stable de Real 1-1, não há ganho de capital, então não há problema algum com isso!

Compre bitcoin com depix, pratique a elisão fiscal e seja feliz.

Best tips for buying back your time in 2025?

People lie from the first second of the day, and the funny thing is that they lie to themselves.

You are not happy.

You can't be happy being aware of what others post on social media.

You can't be happy in a shitty job no matter how much money you get paid, you're just a slave who has to obey.

You can't be happy living in countries where you are plundered more than 50% of what you earn and you will be judged no matter what you do.

You can't be happy if your goal is not to raise a family.

Do you know when I am happy? When I feel the sun caressing my skin, when I see my children happy, when I am in contact with animals and nature, these are the only moments when I am happy.

Because happiness is not persistent, they are moments, run away from those people who tell you to be happy 100% of the time, surely they are psychopaths or psociopaths.

Who are you becoming?

Here’s how I’d run a 50,000,000 sat nostr marketing campaign…

Coming from someone doing +$10M monthly client revenue on TikTok.

Let’s break it down.

For example sake, let’s say we’re running a campaign for nostr:npub14am887cf6kvwkce89nt7dsw3v9qrrn0uppxyvr6a2jd7xdwuwccqwnudp2 ‘s brand, Heart & Soil (with a 0.5 btc budget)

Step 1:

First we’re going to identify 100 relevant nostr creators and negotiate terms of posting.

Let’s say 100 creators at 300,000 sats per note each.

We’ll spread out the posting times over the course of a month… about 3 per day.

Nothing groundbreaking so far… but here’s where things become a bit different than your typical social media campaign…

Instead of paying creators offline, Heart & Soil would zap 300,000 to each creator - publicly visible on their note.

This does 2 things:

1️⃣ Increase visibility on that note (more zaps = more traction)

2️⃣ Increase positive sentiment of the brand (i.e. “this brand supports nostr creators”)

If you see a note about a brand, then that brand zapping 300,000 sats, this will get your attention.

Step 2:

Top of funnel 👀

We’re going to allocate 10,000,000 sats to “bulk zapping”

The plan is to send 21 sats to nearly 500,000 notes over the course of a month.

I’d probably attach a message like “Eat your organs” or something like that to each.

The goal here is to drive eyeballs and awareness to the account.

Step 3:

Profile and bio set up.

Think of this like a funnel.

We’re going to be getting tons of eyeballs to the account…

Now, what we do with that attention is key.

First thing, let’s repost all of the creator notes to get social proof on the account.

Secondly, let’s get our bio set up.

It should say something like this:

“The most nutrient rich supplements on the planet. Goal of sending 10,000,000 sats (currently at 1,342,091). Tag us and we’ll zap you! Use code NOSTR for 10% off.”

The goal is to turn buyers into creators and set the precedent that Heart & Soil zaps all creators.

I’ve noticed that there is a ritualistic posting style on Nostr - the good morning notes, coffeechain etc.

We want to get this style of note going for Heart and Soil.

Allocate 10,000,000 sats to just zapping customers that post the product on nostr.

What do we think - would this work? Would brand campaigns be a complete flop on nostr? What would you do differently?

“X Money” coming to X in 2025. No thanks, I’ll stick with zaps here.

What wallet are you using to zap? I just tested again using Minibits with NWC and it worked.

I was able to zap

Weird! Looking into it
