Kind of cool that @primal found a way to get around Apple’s In-App-Purchases by rebranding Satoshis as Zaps and allowing the purchase of it via the App Store and credit card!

I'd add the DCA'ing on Strike is also another way to do it.

I’m starting to believe the only way to onboard people to be non-custodial holders of their Bitcoin is to use pass phrases with their seedphrase. Save the seedphrsse in some password manager, or use Passkeys to protect them, and make the passphrase simple and personal enough that they can remember it. As long as software wallets support pass phrases on top of BIP39, we’ll be good to go. Multisigs and hardware wallets are not the answer for 99% of people.

I just became a #PrimalOG. Proud to support the development of @primal and the proliferation of Nostr!

New social networks require unique value propositions that large groups of people care about. Most people don’t care about censorship resistance or shadowbanning because most people aren’t affected until they are. A more unique front-facing set of features is needed. Zapping is not one of them either because most people still don’t care for bitcoin, let alone lightning. Nostr will struggle until it had a unique value prop. Hell, Farcaster has frames which is cool, but also not a good enough selling point. We’ll need full on dictatorships, be it authoritarian, or communistic in nature, plus ridiculous inflation in the west for any of these platforms to really take off. View quoted note →

Grateful for another opportunity to stack sats!

Stacked so many more Sats this evening! Big fan of @jack mallers @strike!
