All exchanges could be Nostr relays. Bitcoin, Ordinals, etc., yes, but equally files, music, tv… “You want to buy and sell X? Sure, just pay to connect to this/these relay/s and be matched with offers from other people!” Payments as zaps is one option, but equally you could build a pretty meaty front-end for coordination between parties during negotiation of sale (hodl invoices, etc.) So early.

Whatever scale Nostr is at right now is such a frustrating sweet spot: feels super local, manageable and friendly; most relays relay the same stuff. Yet, for these same reasons it’s going to explode into big and crazy, like all the incumbent social networks. It’ll be very interesting to see how relays evolve accordingly. Nostr is going to feel very different to incumbent social media, imo, and in a good way.

It’s interesting watching bitcoiners come around to WireGuard and self-educate on VPNs. Previous commentary on it being “too hard” now falling away. It’s like the 2015/6 quest for privacy I encountered (which led to self-hosted VPNs) but this time with a financial incentive and motivation. It tells me that amazing non-custodial consumer UX looms in the future, but it’s likely still 10-ish years away. Where will Bitcoin be by then? Where was smtp/imap at a comparable point in time?

Noticing the huge incentive to go viral with zaps.

ART IS RESISTANCE.

Look upon my relays ye mighty and despair.

I don’t want to wear a computer on my wrist and I definitely don’t want to strap one onto my head.

I can’t wait until I’m rich/important/famous enough to either not carry a phone or only use a dumb phone.

Embedded content in notes and other stuff, transmitted by relays, engaged with by a totally distributed user base, with payments built right into the consumption/engagement. 🤯

About 2 weeks ago I started to think blogging would explode on Nostr. On Friday I told some friends. Over the weekend 2 blogging platforms launched. Shit moves fast here. It’s going to work!
