I agree this is something important to get right. There’s a chicken and egg issue too. Hard to sustain a business on a small pool of users, hard to build a business strong enough to handle sudden growth with funding.
I am watching with anticipation to see who (outside of grants and VC funding) will be the first people to make a living on Nostr.
It’ll be shitposters 😂
Most likely. And edgelords.
That's a good question! My intuition says it's not yet possible to make a living without grant of funding yet. Maybe a new use case that generates lots of capturable value with low initial development cost. I'd love to see this!
Praying it's a regular person with mininal skills that lives of nostr zaps 1st via subscriptions.
Whats a better reward for all the work put in, than to see it's actually changing lives of everyday people?
(That can in turn go out there and spread adoption)
