It’s just dawned on me why Nostr is such a positive experience (even right now, with so much likely more to improve) - On Twitter, all of the costs were generally hidden - the advertising, the promoted content and accounts, the algorithmic feed to keep you scrolling.. On Nostr this is now all accruing to the user. There’s still a cost to using it, but it will be defined and known.

All my replies and some posts seem to disappear. Any ideas why? Using Damus and just 4 paid relays.

Bitcoin is both the carrot… and the stick.

Happy New Year to all on Nostr! A quote from John Vallis on #Bitcoin from BTC sessions xmas show “..the most persuasive thing to do is embue your life with the benefits, the principles, the ethics of Bitcoin, and let that show.. people will observe you and whoever is in your life and they will say - why are they so optimistic about the future? - why are they engaging in work they find meaningful - why are they so happy to be hanging out with other [like minded bitcoiners] ..That’s what everyone wants. Everyone wants a happy, meaningful, peaceful, stable, secure life and family. I think Bitcoin is a tremendous tool for creating those things in your life and so I think it’s upon us to maximise its potential.. that will be a very strong incentive in itself.”

So @jack if some of us wanted to voluntarily contribute.. oh I don't know.. say $8 per month, where is that best directed to help this concept fly?
