The creators and developers on Nostr are some of the first people on the planet, to earn Bitcoin, rather than buying it. Just as their patrons are some of the first people on the planet, to spend Bitcoin, rather than selling it. Nostr is the first global Bitcoin economy of scale. And we were here. We are legend.

Stay humble, stack zaps
Yeah, that's why I tell my bros to just keep building and writing. Stay calm and type. If Nostr is really going to make it as a protocol, everyone who learned to use it and build with it is going to be ahead long-term, regardless of how their current project turns out. This is like learning to make webpages and applets in the 90s. I know because I was there.
I think it's the sign that we're now senior team members. It actually takes a lot of knowledge and experience to be able to train someone without crippling your own productivity. It isn't fun to do until it isn't hard to do. Like with everything, I suppose.

who will be the first to earn a whole coin in the nostr economy, or rather can we know the amount of total flow of sats?
Agree. This account is a nym… but I am a content creator on the other side and seeing how the world works over here is priceless to understand both my content’s real value and what the future will look like post advertising models only…
When noncoiners ask about getting into BTC, I always recommend they EARN sats! Since 2020 I've helped guests on the Bowl After Bowl podcast set up wallets to stack sats via value split as boostagrams roll in -- and boosts keep rolling in FOREVER once an episode is published! When the person finally builds a node, switching the value tag is simple. In 2021, I was able to use Zeus as a POS at a Bitcoin Blockparty and sell handmade jewelry and crystals for sats, which were delivered right to my node! And last December, a highschooler earned her first sats last working as a lighting tech at the Ainsley Costello concert in Minneapolis. The future is ⚡LIT⚡!
for the longest time #Sats didn't feel like #btc till I discovered #nostr and boom someone zapped me 3k for a long post ..then another .. I couldn't believe it was happening .. a writer getting paid for her work .. that is not how it was supposed to be .. it changed everything.. later I discovered other features of #nostr .. this thing is deeper than anything todate .. it was hole of rabbit holes .. wow

“Spend bitcoin, don’t sell it” - I’ll steal that if you don’t mind.
