Does it matter to you if Nostr remains a tiny niche of the internet? #asknostr

Do you really believe the “OG whales are selling BTC for more tradfi assets to re-allocate, take profit, prepare for inheritance”? If I’d owned BTC for a decade in large size I’d know it’s the safest place re risk-reward and counter party So why sell? Yes it might be just a portion, a percentage, but to buy what? Sus Convenient tradfi chatter to lower people’s resistance to their products “Oh well, even the whales are using ETFs, maybe it’s fine” 🧐

Tonight we decorated the Christmas tree Listened to some Christmas songs Organised some Christmas presents The festive spirit is upon me! 🙏🏻

Nostr Daily Active Users Approximately 1.2 million

Imagine being a shareholder in Docusign A $14 billion company listed on NASDAQ Why would an equity be worth that? Their product can be copied Produced And marketed Add a fraction of the cost with AI Vibe coding eats this If I was long, Docusign, I would be very concerned @Rod

Given its Christmas week, and it’s a period of holiday, family, and hopefully some rest My usual podcast publish slot of Friday morning is going to be delayed If there are any nutters listening in, there’s 100 plus episodes from this year to binge Preferably everyone downs tools for a few days Sending good vibes and Christmas Wishes all 🙏🏻

I’ve been a YT user for years Starting to really irritate me all the pointless metrics on there - likes - views - comments - subscribers None of it shows you “value” There could be thousands of views, likes, and comments, and they’re all pointless to me as a user Channels “monetise” these metrics, and advertisers pay, but do they get “value”? Who knows All I know is the gamification of it makes me unhappy The “look how many views that got” game There must be a better way of providing video content online… My bet is someone on Nostr is already building it The user in mind, at the centre I look forward to it 🙏🏻

A lesson from my recent @rev.hodl episode is really sticking “Time is a flow, and you have to choose how to spend it” Your day is passing whether you like it or not, so how one allocates their attention, is absolutely crucial to all outcomes It’s a hack An input It makes me really evaluate how I spend my time Very important from a capital allocation perspective

There’s something so amazing about stumbling across new Nostr accounts People I’ve never heard of Posting real stories Real opinions Real life It’s powerful Very powerful Who would have thought… give people a way to communicate that is free of centralised authority, censorship, and a superior form of defensible free speech And there they are Talking Networking Making new friends Building new things Bravely having their say What a world that is opening up for us, abundance, optimism, honesty, opinion, debate, the whole spectrum of free speech A lesson @knutsvanholm gave me once: “if you do not allow people to actually have freedom of speech, they resort to violence” Arguably Nostr is a peaceful revolution Onwards 🙏🏻
