thanks, i need to read more on bluesky.

i think the biggest challenge today is figuring out who we want to speak to.

“find your niche and then go one level deeper” is usually a solid starting point for growth. nostr is amazing, and i know exactly what promise i’m into. the trick, though, is defining a group out of the cyber early adopters (probably all of us here today).

i’ll start with my personal 4p that led me here:

persona:
i’m a startup founder (in the eu) with 10+ years in proptech. i had a bitcoin story years ago, similar to what Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) described once (“old discs turned into a multi-million dollar mirror”). i’ve always been into privacy and osint.

problem:
i never had instagram or facebook - it’s just not me. i like good conversations and interesting people. i tried twitter, but hated the ads (problem 1) and even more, (p2) the algorithms serving up the same quasi-influencer content (“ten ways to this…” and “what i’ve learned from…”).

this led to a third problem - every social media platform today is a selling tool. if not through ads, then through influencing. ads are annoying, but influencing feels fake, and i don’t want that in front of my face.

product:
that’s how i ended up on nostr, probably through some article on jack (npub1sg6…f63m) involvement. i read the paper, explored tons of websites (com, org, band, watch, you name it), and found @primal available on iOS. here i am.

nostr promise:
i see no ads and no influencers.

value-for-value and full control are the promises that hooked me.

if ads show up in my feed, i can switch clients. if i encounter annoying influencers, i can mute them.

last but not least—
i’m still short here, but i already like you guys. i enjoy reading your notes, discussions, memes. you’re a bunch of smart people, and that’s a promise hard to deliver on the web 💜

pv 🤙
