 yeah, experienced entrepreneurs building can really help. tho the ways to build businesses here feels far more uncertain than in traditional tech which is why it probably hasn’t attracted tons of traditional entrepreneurial energy. it’s more niche/fringe/hacker entrepreneurs (which personally i love!)

do you have categories of content you’d like to make more? stuff you’d like to hear? for example, i was thinking it’d be fun if there were a book club of sorts on nostr 
 My interests are broad and not always consistent. I enjoy reading about space, watching space / physics related things, knowing what the design community is up to. I also like random creative stuff video content, startup discussions, reading opinions on AI and where that might be going, thinking about human behavior / psychology. History and philosophy is also something I enjoy watching reading or hearing about. Writing is interesting too. 

These are just some of the topics that catch my attention but random stuff that doesn’t fall into those categories can be interesting too. I can find most of this between X(when I had an account), YouTube. I even thought some of the content on TikTok was pretty good (not the dance videos). 
 Well I don't know if this is #nostr's business model but I can give you some ideas, for example:

- Reports Posts (graphs and stats) about current app usage (users, trending, topics, location, gender, age, etc.);
- Monthly e-newsletter via DM (app development, team, strategic plans, Bitcoin news, etc);
- Podcasts and Channels (Fresh and Fit, Pearl Davis, Nich Fuentes, etc.)
- Competitions (like, re-post and comment to win sats or rewards);
- Bitcoin weekly lottery (Bitcoin rewards);
- Coaching or training;
- DIY videos (art, survival, tools, science, physics, etc.);
- #nostr LIVE dates ❤️;
- #nostr Xmas LIVE;
- etc.

 
 I think Dave and Cody have excellent survival skills to teach people, they already have an X account but I don't think they are monetizing it, Bear Grillz, Candace Owens, Whatever Podcast, etc. I also enjoy watching law enforcement videos such as CopsTV, Law&CrimeNetwork, etc. UFO's or UAP's never get any prestigious cover even after we know they are real. I also think we need IQ, and Puzzle testing challanges (earn Sats or Badges).

 
 Oh yeah, I’ve been discussing puzzle/testing ideas with friends for a long time. I’ve had in mind it’d be fun to start a “Nostr/Bitcoin Global Gameshow” where you can compete with everyone to win sats. I think it’d be really fun! 
 Yes I totally agree, I like the way THNDR Games designs their games, simple, fluid, they have matches, leagues, rewards, badges, and connect with #nostr. 

However I would also look beyond traditional gaming and think of how users and companies could gain more insights on #nostr through quick voting on various topics or issues, answering questionnaires, surveys, election simulation, etc.
