At this point, we should just be a bitcoin protocol. Fuck it.

When everyone has an easy account like Strike or a wallet like Bitkey, they will come here.

I just asked ChatGPT how many users the social crypto app Public does have, and it says it believes it has one million users. 

Eventually we will be all using Bitcoin. Right?

Maybe we need a client that can act more like Public and Robinhood. 

ChatGPT says Robinhood has 15 million users. 

Anyways, just a rambling thought.  

 GM, I have been super somewhere else mentally the last few days, but I am starting to be more present now. 

I spent all day yesterday organizing the newsletters on substack as a backup to Habla News. The Zap Cooking newsletter for December is coming along nicely. 

SoupBox.substack.com 

I love their template for drafts, pretty sexy with the gallery feature and the buttons for messaging and subscribing. Got to play with the newsletters. This stuff I geek out on. 

Last night, I went through the second audio interview for SoupBox and will be having a listening party with the guest (possibly) on Friday evening, East Coast time. Will post more details later. I really enjoyed this interview. I hope you can attend and say hi to us. Maybe zap the guest! 

I will be interviewing the third person soon, then I am coming for you. And you. And you. 

I am thinking I will post a new podcast bi-weekly. Every other Friday, there will be a listening party on zap stream. 

Anyways, I will now take a deep breather. ✌️I have been up all night.

 The second SoupBox episode is now edited and should be out this week.  

 If you are a part of a group that acts like this (watch this video) on a decentralized platform, you are the problem and you are fake as fuck. You make me lose hope for humanity.

Hello and welcome back to the cozy autumn days with Zap Cooking! I’m thrilled to bring you another issue of our monthly newsletter, a space where we share our favorite moments and celebrate our vibrant community.

In this issue, we’re excited to revisit highlights from Nostr Valley, where Zap Cooking was proud to sponsor and connect with friends in a truly special celebration. It was an incredible honor to see so many of you make the journey to join us for the first annual event—a milestone in Nostr’s history and a testament to the strength of our community.

As always, thank you for being a part of this journey. Your continued support, contributions, and readership mean everything to us. Here’s to more shared moments, connections, and, of course, great cooking!

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Zap.Cooking newsletter!

What began as a simple idea and a collaborative effort has grown into a vibrant community. Food, in its unique way, transcends culture and connects us all. It’s at the dinner table where we break bread and share our lives. Here, we’ve created a space where people come together to exchange ideas and celebrate a shared passion for cooking and culinary excellence.

This is the Nostr way—a community built on shared ideas and a constructive culture. We are excited to embark on this new journey of sharing a newsletter with friends of Nostr and Zap.Cooking. We hope you enjoy this fresh approach and look forward to many shared recipes and conversations.

Bon appétit!

SoupBox & Zap.Cooking now has a Substack! We just posted September's newsletter, and we will be posting October & November shortly. Although we have a lovely bunch of people on here to share the newsletter with, this is an opportunity to draw in a foodie crowd to Nostr with recipes, reviews, interviews, short stories, art, pictures, and more. Instead of having people show up and not understand what is happening on Nostr, we can curate topics on Substack, teach others about the growing protocol, and introduce them to fellow Nostr foodies. Please review the first one and see if we should add anything. 

Substack has great features, and we hope one day this company will join Nostr. 

Also I would love to get regular contributors like @Rustypuppy with microfictions based off of zap.cooking recipes (started Oct 2024). If you post a new recipe or have a food company, please let me know!

Thank you to @AccessTribe for having me. I appreciate you. 

 Good morning! I will be taking a break from Nostr. Be back soon! Xo  

 Someone smells so good on this plane. I'm sniffing people.  

 Dear Nostrville 2.0,

I thoroughly enjoy these intimate gatherings. It's nice to sit down and have face to face chats about life. At each Nostr event I get to meet a couple new people who I simply adore.

Thanks to the other housemates that I am not entirely sure what their Nostr handles are. Thanks for watching out for me at the end of bar hopping and getting me back safely. 

Thanks for the lovely conversation about bees from the beautiful nostr:nprofile1qqsdv7ds7ny5ssc8wvqujgzgpjwj7tgje8ax6yp49cf5avwqsg56exspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny8azw0e and her hubby. 

Thanks to b, I don't know how to tag you, for the delicious crab cakes. You are an absolute beauty. 

Thanks for dancing with me @sasha and singing for us all night at karaoke. Beautiful voice. 

Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqs0qlstrtcxddyrswrrvzs69janw3pf48a64dvnqflnlnfm6w6uxecpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un8qyxhwumn8ghj77tpvf6jumt93az68j for being such a delight as usual.

Thanks to Nashville and Bitcoin Park. Growing up around private social clubs, working in a variety of them, starting in my teens, I was super curious to see the actual location. It's beautiful and now I know what the set design is made of 🤫 I wish you all much success. 

As I wait for my flight, I can't help but think how different my life has been the last few months. I am super grateful to have met you all. I hope Nostr succeeds, and if it doesn't, I will cherish these moments. 

Until next time. Xo 

Sarah
