Patience.

Just keep exploring, zapping, boosting, and sending sats to others. Zap things that you like. This rewards those who like sats and also, surprisingly will broaden the base of ideas and knowledge. Some things might be negative or positive. Who knows?

It's cultivation. Instead of an algorithm to spin you up, you have to choose your own adventure. The platform detects where the sats go and it places those on top by funding.

Personally I have been online writing since Geocities in the late 1990s. In one month here I have been rewarded in purchasing power more than I have in 25 years! The only thing I actually did better was in person 'Zine sales. I could actually pay a bar tab by shilling my Xerox rag. But it was a lot of work. I was lucky also because I had people smarter than me helping to make it look good. I was the sales guy.

Reddit, I have never enjoyed. Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter all of these I would spend more time on writing and all that happened was that I was exhausted by arguing or I would write a long piece and get crickets. For my own blog I tried ads and then I hated them for slowing it down. Ads suck. I know you know this, I know this, we all know this but it needs to be stated. We are providing the content but we are not being compensated for our time on those other platforms. We are mined for fiat. Here ads are done but it is clear and sometimes it is interesting so good for the people who post.

Sharing a post here is very good because automatically your handle is appended on the end as a referral. That's good. You can also when you are out of ideas, take the time to read someone else's work. Zap it if that person took time to write even if you disagree! Or don't. Practice writing. Somethings I've written here a very long post and earned 1 sat. Some things I thought were just interesting earned 800 sats. In the fiat world these are nothing but in Bitcoin these are crazy numbers.

Here is kind of a casino, too. You walk in and fund the house. Sats fly around. Maybe you get rugged in the end. I can say that no one has rugged me worse than I have rugged myself. The team here is really doing something amazing. You have asked a great question. Please ask more questions.

Just hang out with us and help us learn stuff.

Interesting. The words "bitcoin" or even "crypto*" appear exactly 0 times on that letter. More so given that several years ago they dabbled into accepting bitcoin (onchain), then they removed it, allegedly because of the high onchain fees. This means they are very aware of bitcoin.

Are they right and bitcoin will be negligible 10 years from now? Will central banks, commercial banks, governments, regulators and these fiat companies that make a living out of showing a polished UI/UX on top of an overly complex and fraudulent system be the winners?

Or are they wrong in the same way that it seems that Google will be disrupted by AI and these fiat boys are going to receive the lesson of their lives? How can we make it so that 10 years from now bitcoin is the thing and not these ultra-fiat companies and institutions?

Please discuss.

@TonyGiorgio said the quiet part out loud - "For one, I've fallen out of love for Bitcoin and the industry."

its something i've been hearing from more and more people and feeling myself a lot. our industry has lost itself a bit and people are slowly but surely leaving it

It looks like since a few hours ago they have completely blocked the site for non-logged in viewers, and the Nitter instances have stopped working as well. If this is going to be permanent, I agree: Twitter is now a private club for the blue checks and links to it should be considered spam.
