“Bitcoin + Nostr Fixes This”
Perhaps unintentional, but this is an excellent example of how we’re going to win, because this system is simply BETTER.
Nostr fixes* eCommerce friction.
All the “see product, add to cart, search next item, add to cart, repeat, view cart, edit cart, go to checkout, enter billing address, enter shipping address, enter payment method, accept terms, decline marketing, checkout, correct errors, re-enter credit card, checkout….” You get the idea.
All of these clicks adds friction, or frustration, and makes it less likely that your customer actually buys the thing.
Compare all that nonsense to “see photo, pay invoice”… this is bullish!!
*in general, I don’t advocate for consumerism, and a lot of eCom is gross, wasteful, and blatantly manipulative. But like any tool, there’s a light and a dark side, and there’s a middle way.
Obviously, Carlo’s beautiful works the farthest thing from “fiat” consumer culture. They’re proof-of-work-on-paper (or canvas 😉), paid for with hard-earned sound money.
In any case, modern shopping, (whether for art, groceries, or whatever) is often done online. Nearly every business has the internet as a sales channel, because it expands their customer base exponentially. And just like being strategic about where you display t-shirts versus cargo pants, there are best-practices for online sales, and reducing friction is arguably the most important thing after discoverability and a functional platform.
Anyway, I’m stoked to see the impact that these protocols have on businesses being able to sell (and save) in a new, better way. It’s already happening. Feeling bullish.

quoting note16jk…jgg9Don’t tempt me 😂
Jk, but dropping the invoice is an excellent idea. In my day job, one thing we look at, is how to minimize the number of steps or clicks between “see item” and “buy item”.
Making it simple with an image and an invoice is a seriously good idea 🔥
