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 🤙

The future is bright!

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Constantly shilling Doge put the nail in the coffin for me.

First signs of spring at the local gym! ☀️
