Fun fact! When You take the efford to answer all the technical questions about #Bitcoin , asked in a post by #[1] , You won't even get a like, let alone a zap from him. 🙄

Don't be fooled! 😉
The belief in the moral legitimacy of authority is the belief in the moral legitimacy of slavery.
If #Nostr will succeed by getting mass adoption is entirely dependent on the user experience. So developers have a big task there.
If the user experience will be slick with the right functions added after some time, expect tons of people moving from other platforms to Nostr. We'll see if it gets there.
Got it. I'm sure You get my point. Not a good trend with all of this imo.
The next thing You know, they're going to implement pay per post in here as they also put in pay to vote polls and pay to join certain nests. 🧐
Followed! 👍
Very good idea's! 👍
First of all, thanks for the zap. 👍
If everything gets to be a paid function in here, I think that it will end up like a app that is used by a relatively small group.
It isn't set in stone yet tho. But if the aim is to have adoption like Twitter, then having as much functions as possible for free is necessary.
Selling Ferrari's and selling Fords, right? 😉
An unpopular view on #Nostr :
It's still early day's at Nostr, so a lot of developments are done there.
The key features on Nostr are that the application is constructed in a decentralised way and #Bitcoin lightning is integrated.
Now, developers are adding other functions, specially for the use of Bitcoin.
Once setup a LNURL, one can zap eachother Bitcoin. That's usefull.
Polls are there and to vote in a poll one has to zap an amount to one option.
Participation in an audio group call, named Nests, might required a zap too.
And I'm sure that more of these paid functionalities will get added later.
I think that this is not a good strategy. Why? Because technology is deflationary.
Jeff Booth explained it many times: Over time, the production and use of technology becomes cheaper until eventually it will be free.
Participation in polls are free in this world, in fact sometimes they pay You to participate in a poll.
Audio group calls with listeners are also free in this world, such as Twitter Spaces, Jitsi, Clubhouse, Mumble and Matrix.
And yet, Nostr developers seem to think that developing a paid version of those is necessary.
It isn't and because of deflationary technology there will be a moment that nobody will pay for those.
Instead of making paid versions of functions that are already free in this world, develop something useful that adds functionality!
Cheers! 😉
Enjoy! Oohh and smile, You look pretty serious. 😄
They could buy otc bitcoin, self custody it with a multisig cold storage in different locations. I don't see the problem.
#Nostr
Agreed! I'd rather see that some clients implement posting gifs or small video's which some haven't done yet.

Dollar Cost Average will always win over time! 😉
When #Bitcoin moons and You've finally bought that lambo, but only exercised those stomach muscles 😆
And in your lifetime You haven't witnessed any of those examples. So what's the issue?
