Is Zap-vertising effective on Nostr?

And is bringing advertising $$$ to Nostr a potential catalyst for network growth?

Advertising $$$ —> More creator compensation —> more creators —> more users —> network growth? 🤔🤔🤔

I’ve found myself spending most of my thinking power concentrated on Nostr recently.

Feeling like a kid in a candy store on here with all of the possible things to build.

I wanted to get an experiment up quickly to get my wheels turning…

So here’s my simple experiment to kick things off:

I’m going to spend 500,000 sats in the next week, using the zapvertising model, measure the results, and provide updates here…

Tracking new followers, cost per follow, and eventually website clicks, email opt-ins, cost per click, etc.

What I’m looking to answer:

Can "zapvertising" become a viable model?

Let's find out.

Follow along for the journey.

In 2025, I’m going Pro. I want to help 1 million people start saving bitcoin in self custody, and create 10,000 sovereign wholecoiners.

I’ve started a media company and assembling a team.

I’ve hired the key players and put the foundation in place in the last quarter.

We’re ready to roll Q1 2025.

I love what Saylor is doing for Bitcoin, but we need to work harder than ever to espouse the values of self-custody.

I’ve put my money where my mouth is over the last epoch and deployed a lot of funds to bitcoiners building tools for self-custody Bitcoining.

Now it’s time to put my mouth where my money is 💪

But have you heard of Creed in a Tree?

I recently attended a Christmas Eve service as a non Christian. Got me thinking. Are Christians generally left or right?

It seems like X is for “influencers” and NOSTR is for builders.

Grok is the best integrated

ChatGPT is the fastest

Claude is the smartest

Perplexity is best for web search

Gemini handles the largest files

Best hardware wallets for multisig?

THE SINGLE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE NEWCOINER FRIENDS IS TO DELETE X AND USE NOSTR INSTEAD.

I would instead use 0xChat, create a channel, call it meetup_whatever, each member subscribe and gets notifications when a meetup is made
