There is no reason money needs to be both a store of value and a currency - envision #Bitcoin as the global store of value and USDC/USDT (backed by US Treasuries) as the global currency. That is where we are headed.

WTF happened to the Bitcoin Conference?
In past years, they live-streamed the entire event and only interspersed the News Desk during downtime. This year, they are interspersing the News Desk with occasional snippets of the actual conference content.
They have even repeatedly interrupted content sessions with the talking heads news desk.
Why?

2024-07-26 14:36:29 UTC

They cut off a useful interesting session to return to the useless talking head advertisement.

The main channels for ETF investments are institutional and 'unsolicited,' which means wealth advisors can recommend an investment unsolicited. Those channels have not even opened yet, so stay tuned for additional waves of investments.

Waiting for the Bitcoin 2024 conference to start ......
Random thoughts.
It's sad that they are only broadcasting one stage, and that is only sporadically, interspersed with the Bitcoin Magazine talking heads commercial.
Yesterday's broadcast quality was surprisingly amateur: there was no sound, low sound, variable sound, lots of dead air, and an extremely low level of broadcast creativity.
The Blackrock Session and the Bitcoin on the Balance Sheet Session were both excellent.

## Welcome to Nostr.
Nostr is half a million people, and now you, trying to build a better social media space. The protocol is new and still developing rapidly, with many smart developers building all sorts of things. It can be a little overwhelming and confusing for new arrivals. This page is a modest attempt to get you grounded before the noise overwhelms.
## Wallet and Keys
You should have a public key (npub1A2b...) and a secret key (nsec1z1x3...). Share the npub, never share the nsec. Together they serve as your username/password, so don't lose them. You should also have a Bitcoin/Lightning wallet. With those three things secured, everything else is easily changed. We currently recommend [Alby](https://getalby.com/) as the best way to manage both wallet and keys.
## Clients
There are numerous clients with different goals and features. [Here's a list](https://devstr.org/clients/). Use one or as many as you'd like - your wallet, keys, and profile can come right along. So try a client and post your own note - maybe sharing how you heard about Nostr. Congratulations, you are now a Nostrich. Now you can buy an Ostrich at the exotic pet store to serve as a mascot.
## Setup Your Profile
Nostr includes a personal profile with; name, about, avatar, name@domain (NIP05), a name@lightning address (LUD16), and a few other things. Name is usually a handle or nickname. About is a short bio of up to 150 characters. Avatar is any small picture. NIP05 is an optional shorthand address for your npub key; [numerous providers exist](https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified). LUD16 is a shorthand address for your lightning wallet (name@getalby.com). Don't sweat it. You can change these elements later. Your profile is linked to your npub, not your client.
## Build Your Tribe
Like most social media platforms, you will want to build your tribe or who you want to follow. Read some notes, tap on interesting people, and then press follow. Now you will see all the notes they share. Each client is set up differently but all have a 'follow' function. You can search for specific people and follow them, or even follow who they follow. If you use Twitter, here's an easy way to [move your follower list to Nostr](https://nostr.directory/). Again, low stress, you can unfollow someone easily too.
## Zaps
Now for the fun stuff. Most nostriches use zaps instead of likes. Zaps are tiny amounts of bitcoin that you 'tip' people for notes you appreciate (and they 'tip' you). And I mean really tiny, like 20 sats (satoshis - the smallest unit of Bitcoin) which is about half a US penny (ha'penny?) You can easily load your Alby wallet with something like CashApp). Most people find it way more fun and meaningful than likes. It's part of what makes Nostr Nostr. Now go out and Zap something.
## Relays
Relays allow you to tune your Nostr experience. For now, we recommend you leave them be. You will know when you are ready. [Here's more information](devstr.org/relays/) for when you are ready.
## Have Fun and Express Yourself
Some applicable cliches: Attack ideas, not people. We are all on the same planet. Learn daily. Create something. Fix, don't complain. Now go Zap us to a better world.

I am going to the Bitcoin 2023 Conference next week. Just went through the agenda. 2 things stood out.
1. There is only ONE nostr session.
2. The number of $10,499 Whale-Pass-only sessions is very high, making the conference feel very have/have-not and extremely Un-Nostrica Un-UnConference-like.
The theme skewed very 'investor' with only passing interest in societal good. We are all definitely NOT in this altogether. Very different than 2 years ago.
I will NOT be attending in 2024.

NIP-39, by easily integrating all other online identities (old, new, and future), will be at the core of Nostr's long-term success. Only a truly open protocol such as Nostr can be trusted with the challenge of being the source of truth for all digital identities.

#OnlyZaps is surprisingly transformative. Zero friction changes everything. Thank you, Zap you.

Excellent presentation by Daniel Alexis, Wallet of Satoshi @ 2023 Lightningcon Vietnam.
They run the top lightning wallet in the world, bringing great perspective on Lightning's growth and reliability.
$1,000 AUD payments are now common over lightning. Worried about DNS reliance and confusion between email and lightning @addresses. Fan of Nostr Zaps.

I have read the Nostr.wine pitch three times. And I don't get it. I want to get it. I think relays are where the action is. I am currently subscribed to nostr.wine.
We just launched our own topical relay focused on Nostr developers. So I do understand some of the basics.
So plebs. Help me out and explain Nostr.wine.

1. Your sats need to sit somewhere. 2. It costs nothing to keep them on a raspi. 3. Your setup will remain educational. 4. Who knows what the future will bring, so I recommend you enjoy your sovereign rabbit hole.

The US government's Chokepoint 2.0 attack on #Bitcoin epitomizes un-democratic policy making. We must demand public debate.

I am surprised there has not been a bigger reaction to the announcement that Nasdaq will be offering a Bitcoin service by June. We will have a mainstream Bitcoin to Fiat channel, removing the biggest remaining risk to accumulating Bitcoin.

Nostrgram - visually dense, great for learning Nostr design patterns; improvements come at amazing speed.

Devstr is a bolt.fun hackathon project. One of our key goals is to create resources for new Nostr developers. Yes, you can find everything on the Internet. But, Nostr is moving very, very fast, and much of the info is outdated a few pings after it's published. In addition to the usual somewhat static dev info. there are many other interesting possibilities. Because nearly all the projects are open source GitHub, one idea is a GitHub monitor that would track activity, maybe using Nostr itself to publish results in real-time. Nostr Libraries are just now being created, and keeping track of those would be a very useful resource. Nostr development is planned using NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities). Those, too, could use Nostr as a way to coordinate creation, refinement, and implementation.

Devstr is a new initiative supporting Nostr developers and a bolt.fun hackathon project. https://devstr.org/ https://makers.bolt.fun/project/Devstr
The first goal for the Devstr project is to build resources, stories, memes, tools, and processes to recruit new developers to this space. Some possible sub-projects might include a jobs board, dev bounties, badges(underway), quickstart guides (in planning), testimonials, seminars, workshops, hackathons(like this one), and much more.

Announcing the Devstr.org Community.
https://devstr.org/
The quickest way to be productive with a new protocol is to have easy access to other developers that have more experience than you - even if only by a few weeks. Fortunately, the Nostr community is developing a very cooperative support ethos and exhibiting an unselfish willingness to help new nostriches.

Devstr Quick Start tl;dr
OK. You're excited about Nostr, and you want to read as little as possible and want to just 'get coding.'
https://devstr.org/start/
Devstr will create, fine-tune, and continuously update the tl;dr to get started building with Nostr resource content.

"I am a developer looking for a meaningful project.
I have a job, but I would like to work on something more interesting and meaningful."
Look no further than Nostr. After being promoted by Twitter/Square(Block) founder Jack Dorsey in December 2022, Nostr is exploding. The range of potential applications is huge. The protocol and nearly all the current projects are open source. There are projects in numerous languages: typescript, go, rust, python, c#, and others. It is relatively easy to develop in. And the community is incredibly supportive. #nostr #nostrhack #devstr
