None are good right now. The amount of times I’ve lost a draft is infuriating. They also don’t format properly. It’s not worth the effort.
When someone takes it seriously and builds something really good, I’ll try again.

New “building in public” blog: Social 2.0
What is Social 2.0?
If Social 1.0 was about billion+ user platforms that transformed into algorithmically driven dopamine monsters, Social 2.0 is an opportunity to build something new and more intentional.
It’s a second chance to build a social layer for the web.
The Social 2.0 era will be marked by the rise of many different niche and micro social networks, each with a core focus or specialty domain.
It will also likely be developed atop a global, open, identity protocol - the leading candidate which I believe is NOSTR - where users own their content, data, followers and identity.
Full intro piece below.
Subscribe on Substack for now.
I will bring it over to Nostr of course, when @npub1l2v…ajft gets Highlighter working properly 😉

2024-09-30 14:03:20

I’m really happy to see this coming together and the community get behind it.
Derek & @npub1hqa…t56s with the support of myself & @npub16c0…6nvr put in a huge effort to get the first “Nostr Booth” done @npub167n…zu3r earlier this year and it was a huge success.
This is chapter 2, and it’s an entire initiative involving:
- 3 conferences in 3 cities over 3 weeks
- 3 full “Nostr days” on the day after each event
- Getting the actual organisers onto Nostr, and have them use it to post updates & activity + encouraging attendees to get on to stay up to date.
- A bunch of cool merch
- Loads of material for @npub1lel…kvyz's new Nostr Film
This is going to be absolutely EPIC, and if you’re reading this, please support. This is a community initiative, which many have contributing to so far, but AFAIK, it’s only 40% of the way there.
I’ve put up personally, and also from @npub15xd…t3l3 considering it’s a Nostr business.
Well done on the hustle so far @npub1hz5…tysa

True. There’s only one way through hell though - and that’s the keep going.
Nostr UX sucks in comparison to what else is out there. I’m certain @npub15xd…t3l3 1.0 will also suck. But that’s the only way, with limited resources, that we’ll get anywhere. Gotta keep building, iterating, refining.
That being said, I 100% agree that nowhere near enough focus is placed on the user. Right now, it’s all on development. Which may be warranted. I just wonder when the shift begins to happen…

Very good. I did a huge language deep diver a decade ago. The best I ever came across was the “Pimsluer” method. Guy was a genius.
I picked up conversational Spanish in 30 days.
I didn’t continue unfortunately - life gets busy - but I’m sure if I did a whole 90 days, and then stayed in a Spanish speaking place, I would’ve been flying by now. The good thing is; I can understand pretty well, and a lot of that is residue from the Pimsluer stuff I did.
Definitely worth checking out.

Bitcoin has the luxury of time far more than Nostr does.
Why?
Because fiat money is actively collapsing. The need for bitcoin is stronger, and while it’s a more significant change (money is the base language) it’s got time on its side.
Nostr on the hand, if it doesn’t achieve some sort of escape velocity in the next 2-5yrs, is going to be relegated to the fringe because centralised providers are “good enough” for most people, and/or other networks will emerge (see the work TBD is doing for DIDs, and there’s much more).
The mistake is to think their paths are equivalent. They’re not. Bitcoin has a century to win. Nostr…a decade or two. Or somewhere thereabouts.

2024-09-03 16:05:10

I appreciate the comment about the book. And I promise it will be the best Sats you’ve ever spent.
I’m also glad you’re not against marketing. But my position is that, for every 10,000 we’ll build software products, only a couple really achieve scale - and that’s due to (in some cases luck, but) superior go to market.
Cold card is case in point. It’s far superior to Ledger. But ledger outsells it 500:1
Now..this is fine for a general product like that. But network live and die by the density.
It’s very easy to lose network density and to get anti-network effects if messaging and go to market unclear.
We can have the best product/protocol, but if people don’t know where it “lives” in their minds, it’s all for naught.
I recommend Andrew Chen’s work on Network effects btw. His book “the cold start problem” is absolutely fantastic

2024-09-03 16:01:50

Yes it would’ve, because nobody would’ve know about it.
Had Silk Road and Wikileaks not existed, or Roger Ver, Voorhees or Antonopolous to evangelise in the early days - bitcoin would’ve disappeared.
The very fact that businesses sprouted up, people discussed it, and entire communities of evangelists emerged is what got bitcoin the attention it needed to develop economic mass.
There’s no way around effective marketing and messaging.

2024-09-03 15:59:57

- reply

I used to think that too. But look at the behaviour. People pass around “numbers on a screen” which don’t really mean much. There’s no significant net bitcoin entering. It’s mainly the same amount of bitcoin just switching hands amongst the same people.
So what’s happening, if we’re being objective, is that people are treating zaps more and more like likes or other reactions.
We need to think about this further. It’s far from an economic model like mining

These kind of responses are so tone deaf it’s not funny.
- Zero concept of how networks actually work and grow.
- No idea about network or anti-network effects.
- Ignores the fact that bitcoin had intensive marketing from the beginning,
- AND blind to the fact that bitcoin is a financial network, with a direct financial incentive to participate (something Nostr doesn’t have).
