Welcome back nostr:npub19m44nutmmst2swqwh2c43u4m0eshge566tkn59pzf2jjr53ty76se7jzwt! If Bitcoin stays within the same range its been kind of locked in for the past few months, you're getting 'em at a good price.
Keep up the hard work! Do you have kids?

is it streaming on nostr today?
im sure the guests love them and take a bunch of pics with them.
Oof. I just checked out flycat.club. That's not the prettiest sight. I'm sure they'll build it up over time. I really like the way yakihonne.com feels and works for long form. It doesn't let me see notes unless I'm on my phone but It's been my favorite for writing as the format doesn't shift between the editor and post.
Freerse is pretty sweet too. They've rolled out some really cool features for long form.

RIP.
Beautiful headstone. "Let MICHAUD you how its done." Classic.
it was some good weed, Im sure.
Bro, does anyone else see these etherfi comments that pop up randomly? WTF?
Is it good on the web? I love using my laptop to engage with notes and write articles. My thumbs are to fat to type on my phone, I always end up with dumb typos.
I've tried snort (sigh) and I'm finding coracle to have some really cool features but there's still something lacking.
How people behave is based on how they are raised and on the environment in which they were raised. I'm hard-pressed to believe the "kind" of money they use will automatically change that for the sake of being hard money or the best kind of money.
You might argue that having a deflationary asset as money means people have to work less over time to receive the same amount of compensation which might lead parents to have more time raising their kids and communities better infrastructure but it doesn't remove the "human" aspect of it.
Just because a parent has more time to be with their kids doesn't mean they'll spend it with their kids. I read a good piece by @Laeserin about who would pay for the roads in a Bitcoin world, would there be an incentive to do so? https://yakihonne.com/article/laeserin@getalby.com/1718520479115 Its interesting to think about the implications of removing investment profit motives. In this sense, yes, Bitcoin might remove the incentive to run sex slavery. But like any industry, it doesn't exist without a demand and that means people have to be raised right.
"Nostr is lacking in content and I believe this could be the primary reason people are not sticking around after trying it."- @Karnage
As a content creator I find Nostr incredibly exciting. This, I believe, is because I find the concept of flash payments incredibly lucrative and a vehicle for fair value exchange of art and written content.
I'm an artist foremost and I draw an enormous amount of satisfaction from simply writing. After several years writing to the void I also like to present it to the world. It would be awesome to entertain other folks and it doesn't get much better than if I can be compensated while doing it. In today's internet I have 3 vectors of approach to get "compensated" for my writing:
1. Write on Medium. I have to pay $5/month to be a member for privilege of "maybe" making money... You can only make money if another member reads your writing. The majority of other members are writers... So naturally, the best performing content is pieces about writing or how to make money on writing. Its ridiculous.
2. Start a substack or subscription service. Again, I have to pay the provider some fee for the "opportunity" to get a newsletter in front of people. I still have to work my own traffic to it. Then, I have to expect people to fork over $5 or $10 to me for my exclusive writing. Not the best vehicle for value exchange because I could just be a shit bag for a few months and you might just forget that you've been paying me!
3. Start my own blog... Not a good option. I have to pay for the domain, pay for a web hosting site like WordPress, then spend more time promoting the website than actually writing. Brand new visitors don't want to spend money right away so I have to find a clever way to sell something like come up with a line of merch. This doesn't sound like writing, its running a business.
And that's just it. Writers, painters, film-makers, most artists of any kind want to make art not necessarily run a business. So if I manage to make someone smile or laugh or fall into a deep thought from something I wrote and they feel like that was worth a couple hundred sats that's fine with me. I'll do my job of growing my network and if I can do that at scale, now I have an opportunity to make decent money and no one is paying an exorbitant fee to consume it. Best of all artists are forced to make content about how to make money as artists to make money. It just sounds so dumb saying it but that is the state of the other platforms right now.
