 How do we determine what is a "legitimate buisness" vs someone simply selling stuff? 
 Simply just selling stuff no longer legitimate? 😯  
 Are you a buisness if you sell a dozens of eggs per months on the side? 
 Let the gatekeepers decide 🤡

What prompted this note btw? 
 The sense that people aren't taking me seriously.

I still have a lot of work to do for it to happen. 
 You are crushing it! It's not easy forging a new path and building something unique. Can definitely feel like people don't recognize the work (and sacrifice) involved in doing something like that. 

Also it's easy to forget that for all it's awesomeness, Nostr is still social media, there are still the popular accounts that get all the attention and their 'influence' decides what's what for the masses. 

But all that really matters is you and your customers 🤝  
 With my leather crafts I feel like I'm just selling stuff. Financially I'm not big enough to become a legitimate business. I do have business with one shop here who actually buy my crafts on a regular basis
