I would love to see a team try to build Strava on Nostr. It would be so cool if anyone, regardless of the fitness tracker or phone app they use, could share their running data on a shared social layer.
It always felt like apps like Strava were great for tracking runs, but trying to force a social usecase when non really existed. Trying to boostrap your social graph from a running app kind of sucks. This is exactly why Strava on Nostr makes so much sense. πββοΈ

UPDATE:
A Farcaster **Client** raised $150M!
This is pretty nuts. Time to put the gloves on and turn things up π€
View quoted note β
Farcaster just raises $150M from all of the usual suspects in crypto vc.
If we want Nostr to win, we're going to have to start moving faster.

NYC is fun. But I want to find a place where...
1. Nice weather 9-10 months/year
2. No/few cars, walkable city
3. Clean streets and public areas
4. Lots of motivated ppl my age building cool stuff.
Any suggestions are welcome π
I've come to the conclusion that Nip-52 Calendars should probably just be their own npubs. Can someone tell me why this may be stupid before I waste a bunch of time, thanks π

Yesterday I was at a jewelry store buying my sister a graduation present. The store owner only wanted to accept cash, no Venmo or Zelle. I didn't have enough cash on me at the time, so I offered to pay him in Bitcoin.
His response was all too familiar, a little chuckle and then an explanation that he doesn't want any Bitcoin because he can't hold it in his hands.
Is there any way to get the concept of digital money through to boomers or is it not worth the effort?
