Recent Notes
The fact is that there are dumb people and nerds. Pretending one group or the other doesn’t exist is delusional.
People adopt new technologies when they find them personally useful, whether for hard...
Exactly this.
People came to the internet because it was 10x better to far more people, and it sold itself without much/any explanation.
I can shop online, talk with my friends etc
They stayed because it grew fast and got better constantly.
Nostr is not like this because people need to be "educated". It doesn't do *enough* that can't be done already. It has its merits but they do not apply to enough people.
Having to read a discourse on centralisation, corruption, surveillance is too high friction. Some will but this will always be a minority.
@utxo the webmaster 🧑💻🍁 is on the money I think with Wisp.
Make it as simple & fun as possible.
Oh! One last thing...
If NOSTR had porn adoption would soar - sad but true :o)
Its about understanding your audience, which involves realising that as a builder, not everyone shares your vision or thinks like you.
Don't get me wrong, lots of cool stuff is happening & I want/hope for it to succeed but think the current approach and mindset is off.

Don’t let today go to waste.
Smile, laugh, & have fun doing what you love.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy it.
Good advice, but the 12.639844873711834 BTC question is how to find what you love.

It’s called #Nostr
You’re gonna be too normie to understand it.

Actually, I think you are the one who is too normie to understand it (beyond your own self serving interest).
There is a massive difference between not understanding and not agreeing!
The protocol has the (so far untapped) potential - the current social media form is dogshit.
Very few on here are interested in critical debate. As soon as a contrary opinion is spoken the mob descends.
It has the issue of being an echo chamber for the weak minded. The content is very one dimensional. One can learn what there is to know in a very short space of time, then why would anyone keep coming back? Because they need others to constantly validate them, just like mainstream society!!
Given what the NOSTR crowd stand for its a very ironic & hypocritical space.
A quick glance at your profile shows the markings of a zealot, a follower, a member of a movement that cannot think for himself.
Like a broken record spewing out the same propaganda. You are not doing or saying anything original (or true in some cases).
A laboratory rat repeatedly hitting a button for pellets (zaps).
Think NOSTR will disrupt for sure, but certain it won't be in this form.

Richard Hendricks was right on this years ago - "we need a new internet"
Taylor Swift isn’t just a global artist.
She’s a business strategy in motion.
Most people see the music.
Smart people study the moves.
Here’s what professionals can learn from her playbook:

You forgot have parents that are investment bankers :)
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?

Education slipping, borders open, no justice and a shit hole.
For shame.

The point is missed here completely.
It doesn't matter who heads parts of a system that cannot be taken seriously.
Don't pay any attention, do something else that has a more positive effect for yourself and others.

Time is the only resource nobody can make more of.
This is why AI actually matters. It's not because it's cool tech (it is), but because it gives you time back. Hours you spent on busywork, research,...
This is woefully naive (or just blatant shilling).
Do you seriously think people will be able to do their 8 hours work in 1 hour (using AI) and the employer will send them home!?
No. More work will be expected in the same amount of time, it will be less fulfilling as you will be reviewing & cleaning up AI slop & the creative parts will be gone, and existing human capital will be devalued or stripped away to nothing - this is the total opposite of giving back peoples time - its stealing their saved up skills.

It appears now that the enshittification of X is absolute and irrevocable – more than it has ever been in the past. It is the poster child for the dead internet theory.
To the bitcoiners who still...
Its over when everyone stops mentioning it and crossposting garbage.
IS THIS COMMUNISM?
