The ask is the most crucial part of #v4v. It's not begging, it's explaining a very new model to those who might not know or may know but have forgotten. Don't ever be shy about the ask.

I think lightning and nostr proved a very important concept that may have gone overlooked.

Using completely open protocols and freedom incentives, you all donated over 3.5m sats to me with one ask. This is actually a serious amount of money. No VCs, no boards, no strings. And we are still very small.

I hope this signals to other developers to take a chance and build on these protocols. The community highly values this kind of work.

I am extremely humbled by the outpouring of support, it did make me a bit emotional if I'm being honest. It's highly motivating to keep building, and it basically proves that nostr and lightning is definitely gonna make it.

Thank you all again so much 🥺🥺🫂🫂🙏🙏
