Can’t state it enuff that if the "influencers" can’t make a living off of "the nostr" that they won’t stay & their followers won’t either.

The community is still so small that everyone is competing for a tiny portion of a small group that is willing to pay for anything. This has led to having to build huge offerings in order to gain customers. Unless you’re willing to roll out a global network with additional features at this point being an operator is a passion project.

Yep. It’s a catch 22 for people who simultaneously want a decentralized social network while also wanting to scrimp and save every satoshi they can.

This is why I believe what's needed is to help us all learn how to establish multiple satoshi income streams every way possible. For our goods, for our services, and for our ideas, we establish "bodies" of work attached to our Nostr accounts that are continuously streaming sats into our wallets. Only then does sending them back out again become less painful. It must also become normalized to be on zero fiat (or or close to near zero), transitioning back to slave debt-notes ONLY when necessary to interact with those still in the fiat plantataions. It's also FAR easier to spend anything once full stack sovereignty over nearly all daily basic need has been established. As in clear title to land/house and energy, water, food, and waste management ALL managed on site. Siege proof sovereignty enables a higher velocity of money flows through our wallets. This is the Way.
