If a nostr client makes a $5 USD / mo plan, what do you want it to include to consider a great deal?

Would never pay for it.

Have been questioning what true value it has even though its "free".

Not being provocative, would love to hear what value people think they get from it (that cannot be found elsewhere & is not more enriching elsewhere.

Only real reason I have come up with is to help others but appreciate thats vague as fuck.

What do you get from it?

5-8 PRs per day. No delays in developing what users ask for since I just pass it to Claude and merge as soon as it works. What takes me about a week to do, Claude can do in a day. So, it's roughly 5x faster than me.

Spent the weekend + even Monday at 3 different weddings in the north east of England. 3 bloody weddings!! 💒 I met lots of strangers and got lots of startled looks when I explained I make bitcoin...

Second this.

Even speaking with techies / devs, most piss themselves over a new version of some framework that in the grand scheme of things doesn't move the needle at all.

Yet when you talk about Bitcoin. most are completely clueless.

Bugs me that many consider themselves "cutting edge" but don't have a clue about the biggest innovation of our generation!

Being pure consciousness is the answer?

Thats where the magic happens yes.

Your ultimate goal should be to disappear.

(Take Satoshi as an example!)

A diluted version would be to strive to achieve that when possible, and try to avoid any form of ego (again very, very difficult as there are so many traps and they are actively promoted by society & authority).

Think thats a big flaw in all social media - it focusses on likes, follows, identity, etc - pure ego.

You definitely don't want to be a dead-on-the-inside asshole building your "personal brand". This will only hurt you long term.

Many rely on this for making money which is another big issue. It propagates the problem. We end up with false prophets that don't offer anything you can't find out for yourself (often with a much better understanding), and just end up wrapped up in themselves.

Being generous to them they may in some cases offer info in a distilled form, but convenience has a huge cost.

Shortcuts are very rare, if they even exist. Nothing worth having comes easy.

NOSTR can address this.

Do away with the identities - the "big" personalities & make it solely about the conversation & growth. Accounts become anonymous but those offering value can still be financially rewarded.

Everyone becomes equal as any form of id is gone.

I love the idea of solely focusing on conversation and growth. The identification and ego issue is for sure something I'm contemplating. Reading Eckart Tolle again does that. Makes for some interesting introspective moments. How would you go about making an online persona? Making money off podcas...
