This is how some people reply to me on here. I’ve begun immediately just muting and joking that they need to pay an invoice if they want to be unmuted. Not because I think anyone would be stupid enough to pay it, but because I want to make it clear to these kinds of people that I know what my time and attention is worth to me, and I’m not going to waste it on some stuck up, snobby, pseudo-intellectual bitcoiner elitist.

Doesn’t hurt me. It just wastes my time reading because it’s the same nonsense the Primal haters repeat over and over and over. Pointless to rehash any of it and they just get emotional and insulting about it instead of having a discussion.

I’m going to mute you for being so unreasonable. If you’d like me to unmute you and have a rational discussion then you can pay this invoice before it expires.

“Funding comes from a handful of people, not from follower counts.” 🔥 That’s a key thing to understand when it comes to V4V, and especially when it comes to understanding how to be a creator on Nostr. I still wish clients would ditch follow counts and give us better ways to search and measure who is engaging with our content and how they are engaging.

2026-09-15 16:19:58 UTC

“Hating on Primal” is a tired trope that falls apart under the slightest amount of scrutiny. There are so many options for good Nostr apps, each with its own design choices. If you can’t find a Nostr app you like, that’s a skill issue.

But it isn’t. It’s just a simple algo that ranks recent events by engagement. That engagement can be manipulated/manufactured by people who want to make their own notes trend, but that isn’t the same as what you’re suggesting. And it also still isn’t the same thing as being an ad-driven platform/algo.

Are you referring to their account suggestions when setting up a new npub? I know I was in one of that categories at one point. Not sure if they still do that, but even if so that’s not the same as being “ad-driven”.

Nostr is good for a lot of things, but my FAVORITE thing that it’s great for is giving creators freedom to express themselves, AND giving people freedom to connect and engage with creators and content free from ad-driven algos and censorship.

Cashapp is now paying bitcoin “bonuses” if you hold a Bitcoin balance with them. I have about $10 worth of bitcoin on there and they’re going to give me 6 whole bitcoins as a bonus! 😂
But seriously, if they’re not lending it out as they claim, where does the yield come from? 🤔

Day 10 update with a Monero payment target on my profile to compare zaps and xaps. A couple of observations at the end of this post.
- 908 sats, (70¢, 16 zaps)
- 0.025 XMR, ($12.92, 1 xap)
Running totals:
- 30394 sats ($23.37)
- Avg. zap: 130 sats (10¢)
- 0.1835652 XMR ($94.87)
- Avg. xap: 0.0122 XMR ($6.30)
It’s interesting watching the disparity between the totals grow as each day goes by. Zap frequency is higher, but the total and average amounts for Monero xaps are just blowing bitcoin zaps out of the water so far.
Even more “interesting”, you could say, has been watching the negative reactions from a handful of people on here. They’ve gotten a few reactions back out of me over the last couple days, but moving forward I’m going to refocus my attention and energy. I’m not going to waste my time trying to manage their jealousy. Instead I intend to focus my energy on the people who are actually here to see Nostr become a better place for content and for creators. My gratitude goes out to each person who engages with and zaps/xaps the content you enjoy and the people you want to show support for. You are helping Nostr become a home for creators who want to express themselves free from the control of centralized ad-supported platforms.

I think it was a combination of things. Weekends are usually quieter on Nostr, plus I was on the road so I wasn’t as active. I’m running this experiment for a couple of weeks, or longer, so I can get a good feel for a trend. But yea, in general I feel I can confidently say after 5 years that bitcoiners are just cheap ass tightwads 😂

Understood. Pardon my reaction 🤝 I’ve already gotten several of the typical “bitcoiner” responses to this experiment and I’m not going to put up with it, but I know you weren’t meaning it that way.
Cake wallet has built in swaps from Monero to Bitcoin and then also supports sending via lightning. In the short term, that’s probably going to be my solution until I understand what I’m doing better.

You led in this thread with calling into question our history of knowing each other online because I’m experimenting with something other than Bitcoin. If that’s not how you meant your initial reply then you need to know that’s how it came across. I’ll take it now based on these other replies that you didn’t mean it that way, so pardon my sharp responses. So far I have just kept the Monero. Might swap it for Bitcoin or sell it or spend it 🤷‍♂️

Derek it’s not that hard. Nostr needs more economic activity. The questions you’re asking me are the similar questions new nostr users who’ve never used bitcoin ask. “What do I do with this now that I have it?” I am learning what to do with Monero. I don’t have the answers to your questions yet. Figure it out for yourself and get off your high horse 😂

Someone in the thread yesterday accused me of promoting Monero 😂 I’ll sure as heck promote any new way for creators to monetize content, but no I’m not being paid or asked to promote anything. This is of my own personal curiosity. If people want to have a bitcoin circular economy then they need to start spending their fucking bitcoin like it’s money. Otherwise people are going to spend and accept OTHER currencies. Not hard to understand 🤷‍♂️

Yesterday morning I added a Monero payment target to my profile to compare with bitcoin zaps. @nprofile…jrw8 asked me how it went, so I thought maybe I’d just share an update every 24 hours for the next few days. Nostr activity fluctuates, especially on weekends and holidays, so giving it a week or two should give a better picture for comparison.
First 24 hours:
- 620 sats (≈50¢ USD)
- 0.0086934 XMR (≈$4.66)
I was genuinely surprised I received any XMR at all, especially the first day 😂 I wasn’t surprised at the relatively low bitcoin zap amounts, though, as that has been the trend recently.

BIPs shouldn’t be easy to implement. Consensus shouldn’t be easy to change. The debate about spam is valid. The idea that a small group of people should be able to ram through a soft fork without wide support isn’t. Bitcoin has much larger and broader adoption than it did during the block size wars. Consensus changes, therefore, will be much harder to come by, as they should be.

Anybody else immediately scroll by extremely long notes in their feed? Use Nostr how you want, of course, but long form is there for exactly those types of posts. A better approach is to publish it as long form, and then post a short summary with a link to the full article.
