Just published a new episode: "Mo Users Mo Problems" In this episode of Soapbox Sessions, Derek shares the Nostr predictions he made for 2025 and how true they became (or how they missed). Heather didn’t make predictions over the past couple of years she’s been on Nostr, so she makes 2026 New Year’s Resolutions instead. They talk about the need for better privacy solutions and the decline of traditional messaging apps like Telegram. Heather and Derek also discuss various aspects of social media management, the need for better on-boarding experiences in Nostr, and the future of e-commerce and music apps. They emphasize the importance of spending Bitcoin within a circular economy and make predictions about the growth of Nostr and potential challenges ahead.
