My teenager has spent many hours this summer making #Minecraft videos, and trying to meet the YouTube criteria for monetizing his work. I'm trying to help my teenager understand the value for value proposition of #Nostr and #BTC using the #LightningNetwork. Me: "You should learn and educate yourself on the #Nostr protocol instead of trying to meet YouTube's criteria for monetizing your work. #Nostr is where the puck is headed. Teenager: "No one is going to give you #Sats for creating content". Please help me prove my teenager wrong. 😁

Wood fired, sourdough crust, pizza tonight. 😋

Another newbie question: why don't I see a lightning icon in my profile on Primal? I believe I have my lightning wallet information entered correctly as my profile on Nosta.me has the lightning icon.

Nostr profiles. Nice and easy.

Those who have their healthcare needs paid by an insurance company wonder why their premium continues to rise. Here’s one likely reason why.

Newbie question: when paying a lightning invoice, a network fee is added to the amount paid by the sender, but is a network fee deducted from the receiver as well? For example: Bob sends Alice an invoice for 20,000 sats. Alice pays the invoice by paying 20257 sats from her lightning wallet (20,000 sats to Bob + 257 for the network fee). In the example above does Bob receive 20,000 sats, or does Bob receive 20,000 - network fee on Bob's end? #Lightning

Depressing to see how much value the dollar has lost. When I was a kid someone making $100,000 was well off, but in 2024 you'd need to $400,000 to have the same purchasing power. #inflationTax

#Bitcoin doesn't have this problem.

Encouraging to see presidential candidates holding crypto. While this article doesn’t specifically say Trump holds #Bitcoin, I have to believe he has a stake in #Bitcoin.

CNBC

Trump owns more than $1 million in crypto and made $300K on branded Bibles, financial disclosure shows

Trump’s public positions on crypto have shifted since he first took office, when he said the digital currency was a scam.

Finally set up an account and looking forward to exploring the Nostr protocol. Really liking the decentralized approach and excited to see where this grows! #introductions
