yeah its crazy if you make something of value people want to pay you

Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten over my bitcoin podcast addiction. Lately, I now how an ancient history addiction: “Tides of History” great podcast. But… the point. It’s interesting that archeologists describe economic activity in ancient times as “craft production”. They also describe how societies grow to gain “greater complexity” in their crafts and their cultures. In a way I kind of see Nostr+Bitcoin following something of a similar path. Literally the most popular products in my feed would not be an uncommon line of work, 3000 years ago. @Ben Justman🍷 out here making wine and shipping it across the Mediterranean to Egyptian kings @Leathermint really really loves Linen. So did the Egyptians. Cotton didn’t come around until much later. @SoapMiner Idk did they use soap back then 🧼? I know they had tallow. @Gigi the traveling philosopher, preaching the good word to kings until he wore out his welcome riling up the townsfolk @Mapletrade living deep in the forest. Undisturbed except for when trekking into the village to find a trade. I hope over time the goods available for sale using bitcoin and discovered and connected using Nostr keeps increasing in complexity, and value. We will break out of the “craft” stage at some point, there will be too much competition. We will have an Industrial Revolution.
