Here's the latest Bitcoin Infinity Show episode, as always out on Nostr 1 day early! #NostrFirst And this time, we have @Derek Ross joining us for a Nostr deep dive! Recorded in person at @thenostrworld before @hodlhodl's Baltic Honeybadger in Riga, we dug into plenty of questions and topics that we had about Nostr and how to use it best. We took much of what we learned from Derek to heart, and we've embraced a Nostr first strategy with all our content, and we're looking for new ways to use Nostr to its fullest extent all the time. Thanks again Derek for joining us!

They took the purple pill. Literally. I gave Luke a crochet pill that nostr:nprofile1qqsfpuyj8re4zneync4nx0npr8h0f95hqg8e2m7hkeejecgcm5d48jcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wfjkc6t5v4ejummjvuhsz8mhwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yhxgetjv44k2mmnwvhx6ef0g9a028 made 👀 Check it out when you have time. nostr:nevent1qqs2mmmqalhdpnp5tn8l4jp37yzwu8upfwazrupr3ae5uk2jqwt3t0cpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qh727rfzm6hk9egx5yr602hxszezu0pyl2l7azwuvttlvf67uepyqxpqqqqqqzwk68m3

Thanks @knutsvanholm and @lukedewolf Enjoy your conversations and gained a bit more insight on how to use NOSTR more effectively in the early stages. @tigs and nostr:npub1cyla8qgt9gv8y6ydv8s2prt89h8afc0sr2kaz64ryjmlpdrzxm4qwlh53qallowed me to stumble my way onto NOSTR initially and pointed out the idea of NOS2X which I had no idea about as an infrequent user. Thanks @Derek Ross for your clear explanations. It makes sense that NOSTR be more like how one behaves in The Real World. It does feel that way so far!

Here are the YouTube and Twitter links for our episode with @Derek Ross Help us spread the word about Nostr by liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing on those platforms! And brush your teeth too, of course!

We're hosting on nostr.build for the video and our usual podcast feed (for Fountain). And then we're only posting on Nostr the first day. YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms are the day after. Let us know what you think of the episode Jake!

Sure, but keep in mind, you have to host your podcast somewhere, and if it's not with a host you have to manage the RSS yourself. Spotify for podcasters is probably the most "custodial" podcast hosting option. Using a traditional podcast host with a local backup ready to go is probably a good option. Right now we're hosting only the video on Nostr.build but maybe we should do the audio as well for that reason.

Guys great episode. Thanks for sharing Couple of thoughts: - @Derek Ross loved the “Derekisms”. Fave was “enraged & engaged”. Plus, the idea the purple pill is the entry to the orange pill. I wonder, what’s the best way to make that happen? Making nostr-only content that is then easily shared by users? Therefore enticing others to join? - I went to save the episode to my Spotify episode lists to listen to, which is a habit I’ve crated, for working through all content I am researching. I stopped myself, “use Nostr jake”, and came back to Nostr with @primal and bookmarked it. The video played great & I enjoyed it. Is there a video focused client that could be used to save, create playlists, discover etc, podcast content like this? - I love the idea of releasing all content on Nostr a day early. Any kind of advantage such as that to differentiate its importance is cool. Did you come up with any others? Going Nostr-only is a cool concept, but you immediately walk away from all the eyeballs on legacy platforms

Hey Jake, glad you enjoyed it! Derek is an awesome Nostr educator, and he definitely cleared up a few questions from our side. For me personally, the answer to getting people into Nostr is a combination of things. First, make nostr-only or nostr-first content. We can't afford not to share our podcast and books as widely as possible, so we share everywhere, but going Nostr first is our way of prioritizing Nostr. The other thing I'm doing is telling people about the Primal app. They get a wallet built-in (with light KYCnot ideal, but baby steps!), so they can benefit from the zaps and learn more about Bitcoin that way. As far as video apps, @zap.stream is the closest I can find. We wanted to use them for our full episodes, but apparently the integration with @nostr.build pro subscription doesn't work. If it did, we'd post our episodes on Zap.Stream and save to Nostr.Build. We're probably going to post show clips from there in the future eaither way. More apps will come, I'm sure! For us, releasing content a day early is pretty much the compromise. But we will do nostr only for some things - stay tuned! Appreciate you Jake, hope all is good in your world!

Thanks Luke Yeah it really is. A great project. Typifies value 4 value in a way. Bitcoin knowledge is incredible when delivered in the right way at the right time. Awesome focus on self sovereignty as well in terms of the self custody advice etc 🙏🏻
