 Are you even a "real" Bitcoin content creator if you are not on Nostr? I mean, I'd rather get a few sats than fiat. Yes he can always buy sats but he still earned fiat not Bitcoin. On Nostr you earn BTC and that it is just mind blowing! 
 Do you work a fiat job earning a regular recurring paycheck?  
 Nope, housewife, mother and homesteader. 
 Your family has no fiat income at all?  
 Let's just say a minimilistic life is very doable ✌. 
 Not arguing that, and kudos to you. Living the dream 💜🫂 My point wasn’t to dig into your life 😅 but rather that for any bitcoiner depending on a “fiat job” to pay the bills and save sats for the future (which is most bitcoiners), creating content on platforms like X or Tiktok may simply be comparable to clocking in at some shit job you can’t wait to leave for something better. Nostr is better, but the earning potential for creators here is not such that they can leave other platforms behind.  
 Agree. But I know how  fast social media income can just dissapear. I made a proper income by sewing goods solely on through Facebook and suddenly I went from 600-700 people seeing a post to 20 if I'm lluckily. Facebook killed my business, but again I build it on a platform controlles by someone else. Algorithms and ads will eventually kill the creator.

It will be good to at least use Nostr as well, because Nostr will be getting bigger and better. In the beginning people did not want Bitcoin and now businesses are buying it. The best part is, if content creators start building their following now on Nostr, they will have a head start above others. 

Sometimes we invest our time into something that does not pay in the beginning but if you keep at it, it will eventually. 
 nonetheless, he's earning altcoin in a totally fiat mechanism. yes, he has to pay bills, and this is a fiat justification 
 I'm suspicious of anyone that doesn't have an npub but at the same time I give some benefit of the doubt. They might not have heard anything interesting about nostr yet even if they have heard of it. Crypto minded people might think it sounds pointless at first because it's not blockchain-based or p2p.

They still have time to realize it's a good idea to get here before the issues are all fixed, instead of only after
