Question about buying art: Would you be more inclined to spend #bitcoin on a piece of art you saw on #nostr if it arrived framed and ready to hang vs just a print that you’d need to frame yourself? Feedback and insight welcome! #asknostr #artstr

If you’re in western Massachusetts, or anywhere in MA, or the Hudson Valley, or Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, let’s connect. Don’t see much New England representation here on #nostr, it would be nice to make friends and grow the community in the north east. #grownostr #bitcoin #newengland #massachusetts #connecticut #hudsonvalley #vermont #newhampshire #artstr

Would you say that you’d feel much more inclined to buy someone’s product or creation if you could pay with #bitcoin? #asknostr

Just, regular cream?

Who is the British equivalent of Jack Mallers? Someone who can speak in plain English about #bitcoin and explain it to beginners but with relevance to the £GBP instead of the $USD? #asknostr

Just saying hi. PappasBland is the collective work of Diana Pappas and Tom Bland, photographers and partners in work and life (FYI Tom writes the notes here). Today we work together as photography partners under the umbrella of PappasBland, producing fine art prints of our work for collectors, helping our clients tell their story with photography, and pursuing our personal projects – all while writing an ambitious newsletter where we debut our newest work in the form of monthly art drops. We are based in the beautiful Berkshires in western Massachusetts. It would be great to connect with other artists in New England, interior designers, art consultants, and business owners in western MA or the Hudson Valley. If that sounds like you, zap and say hi! #nostr #newengland #massachusetts #artstr #photostr #photography #artists #grownostr

You should check out as a really great food + #bitcoin brand.

Absolutely, we’d have to stick to offering framed prints within the US. Shipping those overseas would be very costly, and there’s the customs issue you mentioned. Unless we used a printer + framer within each territory and dropshipped the work, but we’re not a fan of being so hands-off and never even coming into contact with the artwork. Thanks for the feedback! -Tom

This is really cool, I love how she got set up on Strike following your conversation. Introducing people to something new that opens up their knowledge and experience is such a buzz. Congrats! -Tom

Probably Alien. -Tom

Ha ha, he knows what’s up.

Perhaps the value of art made by humans actually increases dramatically in the era of artificial intelligence?

Try Bo Burnham: Inside Sheng Wang: Sweet & Juicy Both are on Netflix. We enjoyed!

Congrats, Happy Father’s Day! #7 for me. -Tom

Not going to happen. A few house or senate seats here or there is a better target and would provide plenty of leverage. -Tom

Good to know, thanks

A few seconds of coastal #connecticut.

Yeah, I love the ‘Bitcoin is money, use it as such’ mantra but at the same time I don’t particularly want to part with the sats I have!

In #connecticut today. Anyone using #nostr here?

We enjoyed this yesterday. #photostr #massachusetts #berkshires #newengland

It depends on the chemistry of the cells, but with regards to rechargeable camera batteries you are probably correct.

Congrats! Where did you complete this certification? Is it at a physical place or an online course? -Tom
