People getting quite triggered and a little mean for me sharing my experiences about money on here.

I’m still going to share some more.

I made more money on Nostr than on twitter for just one month since twitter introduced payments for creators: January.

In that month I shared a video on here which went semi viral (?) - where I trolled a crypto conference.

It’s usually a couple of generous zappers who make up the lions share of payments: Pareto principle stuff.

I get more money on posts where I say “please zap” and if I forget to mention that on pieces of work, people forget or simply don’t.

For the people saying I need to engage more on Nostr, that’s not quite right because Nostr doesn’t directly reward engagement.

And for those saying oh I can HODL the zaps because they’ll go up in value,

with respect, that’s not at all rational or realistic. We’ve all got to eat and pay bills!

And for those saying “oh well here it’s btc, twitter is fiat”… sure but we do still live in a very fiat world and most bitcoiners don’t earn btc, they buy bitcoin.

I am one of very very few Bitcoiners who lives on a full bitcoin standard and earns btc so I appreciate this more than most!

I’m gonna keep sharing my twitter and Nostr stats because I’m sure it’s resonating with some people.

Gm☕️ If you think the Halving in 9 days that makes #bitcoin more scarce than gold is priced in you should hold on to your face, because it is about to melt away.

I've known many of shitcoiners over the last decade+ and I can assure you that your sweeping generalization is acutely false.

It is truly beautiful and ranks among the top 3 beaches on the planet. 🌍

I pay $45 for the hair cut. How much is yours ?

yes but the educational delta is the opposite

I'm not sure I should write down these thoughts right now while I'm not sure about them, but if you are reading this apparently I did.

I think nostr may already be doomed for two reasons. And as a result of that, if I conclude as such, it would make sense to start working on a successor protocol. I've been taking some notes about what we should change if we started over, but that's the extent of it, I'm not working on a successor protocol. I'm only working on nostr. So don't misinterpret this note, which just represents some thoughts I've been having.

Reason one is the misaligned incentives of note copying. The incentives are to copy your notes to every relay you can, blast them out everywhere, to get more reach. That incentive doesn't go away until and unless all the clients do the outbox model. But they don't have an incentive to change, and there are people who don't give a fuck about fixing this and argue against fixing it and argue for note copying, and there is no way in a free society to make them care. So we can never fix this, and nostr will always be centralized in practice and never what it could have been. That means nostr is doomed and unfixable and we should make sure to start differently next time so this doesn't happen again.

Reason two is that the seed culture of nostr was far too monolithic: bitcoiners. What a culture develops into probably depends on how diverse its seed was. It's quite hard to get people onto nostr unless they are at least very bitcoin tolerant. Most people (yes, I think most) are put off by so much bitcoin promotion and related posts. Certainly people can follow anybody they want, and make their own independent cultures, perhaps even on a disjoint set of relays. But this isn't likely to happen due to the law of large numbers - there are far more ways for them to encounter and interact with the nest of bitcoiners then to not encounter and interact with them.

These are thoughts I'm entirely unsure about. Maybe I'm wrong in both cases. These are my worries.

I WILL NEVER TURN MY BACK ON BITCOIN. I HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO THE MOVEMENT.

- TWITTER IS NOT BITCOIN.

- I DOUBT SATOSHI WOULD SUPPORT WE CHAT OF THE WEST LMFAO.
