When I initially said I was donating the What’s Nostr shirt, some people probably assumed I was upset. Never. I simply wanted the exchange to happen to help support the main concept behind the implementation of Bitcoin according to the whitepaper. I wanted an exchange to happen especially on a protocol that touts the merging of Bitcoin in its apps/clients. If Nostr was of value, why offer the shirt for 30k sats? If Nostr is worth it, then it deserves a higher price tag, right? So thats why I originally set the price at 500k sats. I dropped the price to 175k sats but still there were no takers. I have no idea why. It would have been great for it to happen.
To be honest, Advertising for Nostr was never a losing option in this situation. If someone made the exchange at 500k sats, that’s a win. It would have showed that someone truly valued Nostr. If someone made the purchase at 175k sats, it still would have showed that someone valued Nostr. By giving the shirt away for free to someone who really needed it, a woman received a clean shirt to wear AND Nostr now has a walking billboard in Cape Town. Nostr still came out ahead by now having an internationally placed walking billboard that will probably wear the shirt more often than the average person.
The only person who is at a financial loss is me. But I don’t see it as a good deed loss. The most important thing is that someone has a clean shirt to wear.
