What do I mean when I say that Nostr is the largest Bitcoin circular economy in the world?

Yesterday, attendees zapped me ~65K sats while I was on stage at Bitcoin 2026. Last night I zapped those sats, and double that, directly to musicians performing live at #NosVegas.

No middleman were needed. There was no 30% platform cut. We had no payout delay. Money was zapped instantly thanks to bitcoin.

This is why Nostr has the potential to disrupt traditional monetization and no one else spends bitcoin or uses bitcoin like we do. Keep zapping. 🤙🏻🫂💜
