It's hard to not be demoralized, watching everyone fall over like dominoes. I was so excited to work in FOSS. I had no idea that this much free money was sloshing around. I was maybe too idealistic.
We're trying to create systems for people who don't care about Nostr. I want to build something that is good enough, that someone will actually pay us to use it.
I know everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I genuinely like the idea of having real customers and solving real problems for them.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. 🫂 GN
You're not nuts and I fully support what you are saying.
There is no such thing as free money. Strings always attached.
You have to the right mindset.
I still wish there were a way to pay others outside of #bitcoin. Genuinely.
If developers want #Nostr to grow they are going to have to accept not everyone will (possibly initially) desire to be Orange pilled. That may be a tough pill to swallow.
Biggest red flag I ever ignored was when The Red Pill was on Reddit. Felt humanity would never be so stupid to buy into that garbage. Then the Red Pill ideology was taken over by a large swathes of toxic masculinity… I know it’s possible.
Idealism is a noble pursuit. To hold onto the belief we can attain the impossible outside of all logic takes faith in ourselves. Personally, it has been heartbreaking many times but I’ll always push for good. I know the power of a small group working together towards a goal. Seen it for good and bad.
All Love my friend 🫂
