Imo the right way to think about nostr clients might be that they are a kind of web browser. Are there any web browsers you would pay a subscription for? Probably not. I think the question should be, what businesses can be built on nostr (nostr which is, afterall, the worlds largest bitcoin economy), not what nostr clients can be a business. If businesses are making money on nostr, they will be happy to support high quality clients that bring users to the network. Just like companies and foundations support web browsers. Or, maybe a company in the bitcoin space would like to create a free nostr client as way to strengthen their brand, the way Microsoft or Google do with Edge/Chrome That being said I think in the long run anything anyone can do to get more people on nostr and more zaps flowing will be rewarded by the bitcoin gods.

But this is support. Its not paying for features you need.

How come?

I have been thinking a lot lately how bitcoiners would be wise to be more like Mormons, and less like... idk Westborough baptist people lol

Great news! My bank temporarily APPROVED my request to send more than $1000 per day. How kind of them to let me use my own money 😂

Simon is great. I heard him talk about cbdc's 3 years before I heard a single other person mention them

Now that i think of it the first time I had any inkling of an understanding of bitcoin, was connecting it to bittorrent works. The name bitcoin might even be an homage to bittorrent. Satoshi mentioned it in one of his first emails.

So maybe the insatiable demand for bitcoin that pushes us to a bitcoin standard ends up coming from AI agents and not humans. 🤔
