How can Nostr be dead if someone wrote a fictional love story about two people building an app together that uses the protocol?
And then published it to read for free on Nostr.
In the very app the characters build.

It's not new. But those are with tokens or delayed payments. And usually scams.
We're matching people with promoted videos to get paid at the rate *they* set. In Bitcoin instantly.
And we're offering that during a social media experience.
Let me know if you find another app doing this.

Not sure what you mean. Ads exist now on social media. This isn't a new idea. We're simply presenting another business model for how that digital promotion would work.

People who want to find cool blocks in the city to add to their corner (21 account feed) or neighborhood (no cap). Or they can visit someone's neighborhood and watch the blocks that person likes. Billboard is discovery in NextBlock. There is no algorithm.
And you get paid and then can zap it out to content you like. So you participate in the circular economy of the city. You fund what becomes premium content overtime.
And you see the price for your attention. So we look for a match every Bitcoin block. Rest of the time, no one stealing your valuable attention.

But Bitcoin and Nostr adoption is the goal. For the masses.
I also wrote a fictional love story about the all this tech. It tricks normies into learning about the general concept of permissionless and freedom technology. And how NextBlock works.
Tiktokers are smart. They'll catch on quick.

I agree so much with all of you.
We're about to launch @nprofile…y7w5 with a business model we've been very loud about.
It uses Nostr. A vertical video app. We reimagine social media as a city where everyone gets their own block.
And you can buy a billboard for your block if you want to promote yourself. Citizens of the city can opt in to be paid directly to watch your billboard. All in Bitcoin!

Good morning Nostr!
Highly recommend accidentally deleting all the people you follow so you can slowly and intentionally rediscover all the lovely Nostriches.
I love it here. Don't let anyone gaslight you about it being dead. Less is more while we build.

I hear you. Hopefully you'll feel differently when we launch. I believe what we're building will solve a lot of problems people face on social media.

We're building something really exciting at @nextblock using Nostr. I believe it'll bring the mainstream to Nostr and Bitcoin. Building new things takes time but I think lots of cool ideas will take off soon. We're still so early.
Understanding what Nostr actually is can help build that long term conviction to keep paying attention to it.
But as the main place to get your social media fix, no I don't think Nostr is there yet. And that's ok.
But it's coming 🙌🏽

This is why you shouldn't care when someone tries to tell you Nostr is dead.

You can just...
take your time building and prioritize family and creativity 💜 once you've stacked enough
We are cooking up so many things. For the pod and @nprofile…tcnq. And publishing more of my book soon.
I forget to market it or even announce things at least on Nostr.
But so much is coming! Soon!
The billboard app will launch soon. You can sign up now for early access. And we're rebranding the pod. Will start recording when it all aligns.
We're trying to not live a rushed life while we build. Enjoy our child. Let the ideas flow. Marinate.
So excited to share it all with you soon. In the meantime, go read my book. It's for anyone who is on Nostr right now. The pioneers. As they brave the normie world and try to escape it. 💜
And check out what @nprofile…962r is designing for @nprofile…dlfg. No AI art around here!

"Your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven."
Orange/purple pilling can feel so impossible because people are usually acting against their self interest. In all parts of their lives. They can't imagine something better so how could they pursue it?
The Attention Protocol story happens in a universe where Bitcoin and Nostr are undeniable. The love story is modern. The problems are relatable. I wanted to give non technical people access to this world. Teach them the basics. Help them imagine what could be possible. Then guide them into Nostr to comment/engage about the book.
Share/read it with someone you've been trying to educate. Let me know if it's helps. 💜 (act 3 coming soon, sorry the war has consumed me)

Loud Iranians supporting the war are intimidating the ones who don't support the war.
So maybe you are confused why you're hearing that Iranians are happy right now. Some of them are.
The ones who understand U.S. history are very worried and unhappy. And specifically patriotic Iranian *Americans* oppose this unconstitutional war. Because Trump is acting like the Ayatollah. Without congress.
Please, let's all be rational as we consume information about a "group" of 90+ million in Iran and 5+ million diaspora.
Most people do not want to be bombed.
