Very good way to raise funds for worthwhile projects.

As of now, creators need to apply to have their project hosted on Geyser, but eventually, the goal is for creators to self-start their own campaigns.
There's a lot to criticize Ethereum for, but if there's anything at all that we can take away from it, the power of crowdfunding through digital assets is immense. You see this project raising hundreds of thousands of dollars and also either bottom-up or top-down support initiatives.
That really helped me understand and has helped us connect the dots with some people in the Bitcoin community. You know, this is actually really valuable and we need to build a place for Bitcoiners to actually support the Bitcoin ecosystem into actually flourishing.
We are Lightning-native, meaning that every Geyser project has a Lightning Address, which means that you can fund a Geyser campaign from any [Lightning] wallet. We’re essentially connected to the Lightning ecosystem that is an open protocol and we don't just connect via API, we connect through this permissionless protocol.
Geyser Posts are a bit like a Medium, but where people can tip bitcoin. That's still in the making though — maybe it will be a few months before it goes out. We have more plans around Bitcoin, like Geyser Drops. Essentially, just like on Stacker News you can earn sats, on Geyser Drops, depending on your reputation and how active you've been, you can earn sats that you cannot withdraw, but you get to use on projects.
