What do I mean when I say that Nostr is the largest Bitcoin circular economy in the world?
Yesterday, attendees zapped me ~65K sats while I was on stage at Bitcoin 2026. Last night I zapped those sats, and double that, directly to musicians performing live at #NosVegas.
No middleman were needed. There was no 30% platform cut. We had no payout delay. Money was zapped instantly thanks to bitcoin.
This is why Nostr has the potential to disrupt traditional monetization and no one else spends bitcoin or uses bitcoin like we do. Keep zapping. 🤙🏻🫂💜

Produce more.
Been using npub.cash for 6 months to prove s a point that it works. But sure, I had to use Internet from a provider for this and I had to use a phone that I didn't build from silicon myself.
I trust you recorded all those zaps so you can calculate the capital gains and report them to the IRS next April then send them a fiat check.
Good. Well done!
Your statement is misleading. That’s why I pointed out
Hate to be a wet mop derek but 99% would have used a 3rd party. Sorry

They could have, but we can help them with alternatives.

Hell yeah. Nice to meet you too my dude.
Screw x !
In a few months I quit there .. smooth transition of the community and it’s well started
Will Fountain consider implementing live value timesplits? That way when a music show is live, the value sent goes straight to the song being played.
Well done and 100% agree. 👏
