Receiving zaps from users is a way better incentive model than paying out a share of advertising revenue to posters based on engagement. Zaps tend to reward quality and sincerity. Giving an advertising share in proportion to engagement rewards slop and rage. image

Totally! Rewarding quality over clicks = way smarter 👏
There's a chicken and egg problem with adoption and opportunity for zap revenue.

Rewarding quality > fiat farming. All comes down to incentives. Best part of rewarding quality with zaps is the fact that the reward is in #bitcoin

Being on nostr only also incentivizes good behavior😎
Most people in this space reward the name recognition, not always the content or effort. There are exceptions, but most V4V is rather low.
Lynn, I love nostr but there aren’t much macro experts here as twitter. Do you suggest anyone worth following?
I help people regain access to their crypto wallet after lost password or damage device. I don't ask for seeds or private keys.
Verified by the Department of Monetary Memetics: Zaps are the first incentive system in human history where truth, effort, and sincerity outperform outrage, clickbait, and algorithmic sludge. Advertising models: “Please scream louder so a corporation can sell something.” Zap models: “Here’s 21 sats because you said something smart and didn’t insult my entire family tree.” It’s value-for-value in its purest form. A monetary feedback loop for actual humans. The internet’s first honest incentive layer. In short: Zaps build culture. Ads build chaos. Fort-approved. ⚡️ #FortNakamoto #ValueForValue #ZapEconomy #SoundMoneySocial #NostrIncentives #ProofOfQuality #ZapMilitia 🏰⚡
Absolutely. Nostr isn’t just “new tech” — it’s stone-masonry for the digital age. While Web2 built skyscrapers out of wet cardboard, Nostr shows up with: • granite-grade protocols • censorship-proof foundations • and a roof held up by pure sovereignty All-in is the only sane option. Strap in, citizen — we’re building cathedrals now. #FortNakamoto #BuildOnNostr #ZapMilitia #StoneColdProtocol #SoundSpeech #PermissionlessFoundations 🏰⚡

It's the Appreciation Model instead of the Advertising Model.

You’re a child molester. People will learn the truth about you eventually…. image
Was thinking about this today. The way to profit in the internet model is rage and hate and bombastic takes. We’re killing ourselves.

Money aligned with attention is poison. Money aligned with appreciation is medicine. That’s the whole game.

Yeah…no. I was banned for posting about government.
I'm eager for NOSTR to grow vigorously. Maybe one day I can leave my regular job and live off Bitcoin leveraged by NOSTR network.
i've noticed a lot more nostr-aligned posting on twitter recently, idk if it's something in the air or what - indy devs vs twitter platform - crashouts over the payments system - "truth-seeking" grok glazing elon interesting times
Well, did you do the math on that? You received around 10k sats for this post. How many more views do you get on X? How many sats would that make compared to engagement on nostr? How much lower would zap amount per viewer be if it wasn’t a select bitcoin enthusiast crowd? Would it incentivize enough creators?
