A non-technical deep dive into NOSTR with onboarding for beginners based on an in-person presentation and workshop ran tonight with @Cripto Panas a fellow Bitcoin educator ⚡️ We onboarded a few new Nostriches 🙌🏼✨ Would love for this video to become a reference in the space, if you can help make that happen thank you! I open-sourced the slides, you can use them at your own meetup!

I'm working on a video and in-person presentation about #Nostr for non-Bitcoiners. Been digging into the numbers ( let me know if you spot any errors) and it's pretty fascinating to see: #YouTube Creator: - 30% cut to YouTube - 20–30% Income tax Leaves about $25 for every $50 earned. If you save that $25, after 8 years at 10% inflation YoY, it would be worth about $12 in today’s purchasing power. #v4v Model: - No middlemen - 20–30% Income tax - No capital gains taxes if you don’t convert to fiat (most places) - +45% CAGR if you hold it long term If held for 8 years, $25 of sats would be worth ~$553 at a 45% CAGR. Considering 10% inflation YoY it could buy $258 of goods in today’s purchasing power in 8 years. It’s clear v4v isn't sustainable short-term without savings or another form of income, but it operates on a completely different timeline. YouTube ads and other mainstream monetization models are firmly rooted in the fiat world while v4v is about manifesting the reality in which we wish to live; a higher timeline ⚡️✨
Tired of #YouTubeAds and fiat incentives? I was too - but haven't paid for Premium or seen a mainstream ad online in the last 2 years. I also broke the fiat incentive by de-monetizing my channel #v4vOnly Find out how to never see a YouTube ad again without AdBlock, Premium, giving up privacy, or wasting any time or money. And please share this video, because YouTube probably wont lol
I just went to the post office in Portugal to ship a parcel to the US. Tracked at 700g it usually costs 25€. The postal agent told me I'm not allowed to send products to the US, only documents, and that if the parcel contains documents, the cost is 100€. She told me the new pricing has been in place since Monday. I don't watch the news..

Portugal's CTT suspends postal service of goods to the US
The Portuguese company said the measure comes into force Tuesday 26 August.
 That's not a 20 or 30% tariff, that's a 300% increase which clearly affects SMBs directly (once again) and is a deterrent to commerce altogether. Also looks like another excuse to print money, just 11 billion ya'know lol. Part of me is surprised at 100€ to ship less than a kilo of paper in the mail, another is like 'to be expected;' it's just fiat being fiat... https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/portugal-rolls-out-11-billion-package-help-economy-weather-us-tariffs-2025-04-10/ Looking forward to figuring out teleportation, in the meantime, this system is such a deterrent to human progress... 😑 Grateful for Bitcoin.
