GN nostr
Been talking to friends and colleagues these last few days about NOSTR and the potential it has for the creative industry.
What’s missing here is good content. Quality art, animation, design, music… There is definitely a need. For the sake of simplicity let’s lump them all under the banner of “creative”.
Right now, the venue for creatives is places like Instagram, YouTube, Spotify… all the other alternative platforms such as Oddysee, Rumble, Minds, etc., get overlooked because those platforms are - for the most part - “not what they are use too.” It’s not the stereotypical demographic for creatives.
But when these people post their work on the mainstream platforms and monetize, mainstream takes their pound of flesh. Instagram and Threads… there is no monetization, and the incentive models are definitely broken… yet people still continue to post their content there.
The opportunity for creatives, and it’s a big opportunity, is that posting to NOSTR they get to retain their data And when it comes to monetization; it is direct business-To-consumer. No middle man.
As I’ve explained it to my colleagues: Imagine a small studio (you) and you produce a short form piece. You publish to NOSTR. You make something that people like and appreciate. They ZAP you some Sats. It’s direct. You’re already monetizing. The incentive to keep getting Zaps is to continue to produce quality content to your market. You don’t even need a large audience.
Eyes open.
They’re getting it.
When the creative industry figures this out… (and NOSTR is still around)… It’s going to change things in a HUGE way.
Living on Bitcoin (Japan edition) tip:
You can buy a QUO Pay card from Bitrefill which works at over 60,000 stores in Japan.
The card comes in two denominations: ¥5,000 and ¥10,000 ($30 and $60).
If you're a reasonable spender, this is more than enough for the week.
The QUO Pay works like a norm Visa card at the select stores; all you do is show the QR code at chrck out.
The Visa prepaid I got from The BTC Co didn't always work. You have to make sure you get the international Visa prepaid, however, sometimes your device might get flagged and you won't be able to use the card at all. Happened twice to me.
QUO card was the better option with the least amountnof friction.
