 Yesterday we shared a video on a $400B sh*tcoin called Ethereum.

There's an even bigger one that has fooled millions (if not billions) of people globally AND has a $3.7 TRILLION market cap:

REAL ESTATE.

 Full video here hosted by @adam ! These will be dropping once a week, and we'll also be posting the full episodes to NOSTR soon :)

 Fucking brilliant! 🔥 
 Property, land, buildings, homes, warehouses, manufacturing plants, farms and etc. are essential building blocks of the economy. 
 Sure, but should every person get into debt to own one? 
 Temporary debt is manageable. I wouldn't wipe it out completely. By this I also am focusing more on covenant communities and a common culture therein where one could build a house.

Think Orania 
 It depends on what type of debt. I think the issue is circulation credit vs commodity credit, not in property of real estate.

 Thanks for tagging me @Amanda. 

@kineticfinance, would lobe to discuss. 

Great work! 
 Great work. FYI that pre-roll are two super scammy daytraders. Host on @nostr.build and let us support you directly. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 
 Will do! I just paid 120k sats though for 10gb for a year on nostr.build. 

Outrageous price... I paid less for direct hosting back in 2006 with Megaupload (cloud space is deflationary... or should be) 
 The thing is, we keep prices consistent in sats, and the price of bitcoin has exploded recently.
Even then, 120k sats is ~$7 a month, not so bad!
This includes integration with most nostr clients, Dedicated ‘Creatoes’ hosting and donation page, AI Image generator, S3 backup, Global CDN, access to ALL 1.3mil nostr images/videos/gifs, TOR coming soon, no ads! 
 Just checked also, 120k should get you 20GB 🤙 
 are you sure? i paid this and my account actually says 5GB! not even 10!

 and it says I don't have access to AI creator studio either. Probably a glitch. but at any rate - what you're offering is still not too compelling at current rate.

and also to be completely shut out of my account until I paid for the renewal (no way to see any of my previous uploads) was really uncalled for too

for the price you are charging you should be vetting these things way better. I get that it's early days on NOSTR, we're all learning and building together, and people gotta eat... 

but for creators (of which I am one of the most active on NOSTR) it's beginning to be a turn-off to pay absurd hosting fees... simple data hosting should simply not cost this much. 

the bells and whistles should be separate like AI image gen, donation page etc. for people who want those things. most of us just need a host for .mp4s 
 Thank you for the feedback and apologies for the issue with your renewal, seriously you are the first to mention/ find this bug. Our cheapest account is 69k sats (10GB) and does not have most the above features. Glad to manually downgrade you to this and refund the difference. At $4 fiat a month, I doubt you can find a more integrated, feature rich service! Also glad to fully refund you if not satisfied, no problem, please let us know. 
 i probably only need 10gb so if you wanna zap the difference back that would be awesome. Hope I didn't come off too harsh but just sharing my 2 sats. still really appreciate you guys hosting all my vids here and I'll be sticking around with it for a while :) 
 Ok, just put you in the Pro 10GB plan and refunded you the difference. You can always upgrade later. Please let us know of any issues. 
 Ohh, that looks like a bug, sorry, looking into it. @The Fishcake🐶🐾 
 It is an expected behavior, if you pay in one session and access from the other browser. Simple solution is to logout and log back in. I’ve logged you out from all sessions, so you’ll see a new data when you log in. Not a bug really, just an optimization. 🐶🐾🫡 
 It is not plain storage, so please don’t compare apples to oranges. I know that for non-tech people it looks the same, but it is far from the truth. If you do not like the service you are not obligated to purchase one. 🐶🐾🫡 
 Never forget we have a fully functional free service that supports video is up to 10GB! You can compress using handbrake! 
 Free = up to 10MB … 
 thought it was 300T
