I think there’s a lot we can learn from web3 (I know) projects. I love how they’re trying to escape the boring look of typical corporate giants, bootstrapping nature and there are some good ideas hiding behind all these airdrops and nfts - and it aligns in many ways with what we’re here for with bitcoin over time as bitcoin growths in terms of user adoption, ease of use and being an obvious go to solution for things other than money transfer, which is now getting far already with nostr - that’s where real growth and adoption happens. Check out this product built for ETH L2 for example hypersub.withfabric.xyz - it’s better than L2 alternatives in every way. This is how we should win people over, instead of telling them here is a link to 50 lightning wallets, some of them work on android only etc and then pick the one that works for you - but people need the basics - send and receive bitcoin, it’s that simple. I haven’t seen a wallet yet that’s intuitive, that’s probably the reason Primal built another one into the app. Now as I’m not a very active nostr user recently I still got like 3 places where I can have sats + a cashu thing We’d benefit from just collaborating on an open source single wallet we can point people to with intent to make it the simplest + can offer small incentives with a few sats at least to learn more about the underlying technology, on off ramps etc. Right now people install wallet of satoshi, primal or whatever but how to send actual sats to it? Big big question for people unfamiliar, unless someone else who already have it sends it. But since bitcoin is limited in supply and be more mainstream I’d expect on off ramps to be a bit less relevant over time. Ok wrapping up this long post haha just sharing thoughts after Day 1 of bitcoin atlantis #nostrdesign #atlantis image

I’d be spending a lot more time on nostr if it had a good and reliable client on web like warpcast

Anyone selects their country as US when shopping online to avoid paying VAT? How they can charge VAT for a product that’s not location based. These laws are too confusing for online transactions in fiat

Global corporations that have physical presence like internet operators, power grid etc. like Vodafone or EDP Vodafone in particular on my experience is the worst, least humane company out there I had to deal with, and I think the fact that it’s multinational and super rich - makes it able to continue to do that kind of business. For a multinational company success metrics are different and as a result people get manipulated and squeezed. Thousands of designers, call centers and developers are working to make it worse for the general public. They have all the resources and lawyers to make their activities legal, maybe even paying to local politicians etc. Especially in case of internet providers I think they must be national companies and setup in a way that they only enable growth, are secure and can’t be exploited or impose limits on freedoms (in worst case scenarios) The way they do business is super outdated too and overpriced compared to alternatives existing today. All employees I dealt with are either trying to manipulate you or are bored to death. If you open maps and check each of their office it’s hard to find one that has rating above 2 stars. I’m wondering how these toxic companies can exist today and no one seem to be working on solving that issue or thinking about that

It was a big deal for me. I’m 25 and grown there from junior. I was the first employee in the agency and glad I've contributed to its success directly and indirectly, by the time I left: • Agency's revenue grown significantly • Team grown to 4 full time designers • Our clients exited for over $2B in total • Contributed 6600+ hours of work, research, meetings in total image

Anyone looking for a product designer now? I’ll be monitoring Bitcoin community for opportunities for my next job to be a lot more meaningful.

Excited to announce I parted ways with my full time agency job today! I developed a disaffection for corporations, for how slow they are and for how they work.
