I love acknowledging how oneās perspective alters
Actually not easy to do

The further I travel down the Bitcoin rabbit hole
The more meaningless my previous goals become
Itās like I was tricked into the dream of āmaking moneyā
Which became a nightmare in which I was being slowly killed
Sound money shines such a strong light on the negative externalities of an inability to save oneās output fairly
Substackās getting more traction and moving beyond text and newsletters.

Whatās most interesting is why people are moving to or sticking with substack. Itās traffic generation. Theyāre taking a 10% cut of revenue but they are able to use the platform and network to drive 50% of new subscribers and 30% of new paid subscribers to each substack creator. Sure, creators also need to build traffic, but the power is in the network which grows an audience.
If we are going to see Nostr as a protocol for creators who run a business, we need to make it easier for them to build an audience. That can be algorithims, but it could also be making it easier to recommend good content, share lists, etcā¦
The other issue we face with creators is that subscriptions are much more valuable to a creator than one off payments. With NWC and wallets we CAN do subscriptions, but we havenāt made it easy and nostr connected the way zaps are.
Iād love to see Nostr builders really focus & improve on creator tools
Itās exactly what I was wonder the other day
Iāve never heard of this lady, or her work before, but after listening to this I would support everything she works on
Freedom technology has never been more important. Indeed, I am guilty of not realising that for too long

Well weāre a family if 5 nowā¦ 3 weeks in. Itās hectic at times! But so excited weāve got this far. A 4th child very unlikely at this stage š

So much good stuff
I liked the challenge of Austrian Econ in regards to inevitable monopoly (I am sure there is an answer, I need to research it)
But most of all was the simple highlight of the flip of how we build the internet on Nostr than before
Pre-Nostr:
Dumb client > Smart server
With Nostr:
Smart client > Dumb server
Or something along those linesā¦
Continuously amazed at how information, knowledge, wisdom, flows through a marketplace. The key: One has to be ready to receive it!
Will try to get in some self-care as well!

I can confirm that juggling a newborn (needs to sleep), a 2 year old (needs cuddles), & a 4 year old (needs games)
All at the same time
Is a whole new level!

Yeah I think it could be very powerful
Or claim to be Satoshi? Would really slow down productionā¦

In the same way that substack helps convert email subscribers into paying community members
Could you have a Nostr client that converts followers into a paying community member
On upgrade the customer gets access to private insider info and messenger groups etc
#asknostr
Nostr is a VERY inconvenient truth for the entire crypto market
A decentralised protocol with Bitcoin as its money
Proof that there never was, & never will be, a need for a token
Money trends to oneā¦
