Sharing my thought here as I have been creating content for the past four years and definitely feeling all the pain
- Being censored
- High take-rate
- Lack of incentive for members to contribute
- Lack of good tools for value exchange
- Lots of control
Here comes my guessing ⚡️
For Creators
V4V and a community for true fans to hang out
I think this will encourage more quality content since it's no longer ad mode, but I am wondering if Sats tipping will change human behavior thought.
And the current problem of Community Building
- Email sign up w/ third-party payment
- Lack of incentive for better engagement
- High fee ( stripe is 2-3%, circle is ongoing fees, some apps are even 20%! )
- Censorship
Knowing the problems is the first step to solving them; However, I have not found any good tools to solve them yet 👀 Here is a product proposal if any devs are reading this: discourse forum style with lighting login and sats tipping, ideally even with an app. SN is a good reference, but the forum style is probably better for content compounding.
For Businesses
Lightning-powered online store
I have been exploring the options to build a self-sovereign business lately. @darthcoin's posts helped a lot; LNBits / BTCpay are two nice tools I have found so far, especially from a non-KYC perspective.
However, I need to play around a bit before sharing more details. I think doing is the best way to learn, so I am slowly experimenting with building Geoarbitrage with lightning tools; Feel free to test the tippings if you enjoy the content ⚡️
Some Thoughts on how to Bring More People into Bitcoin
- KISS
I do not think the average user or creators will bother to change to something new if it's too complicated. And this is exactly one of the mistakes "the web3" crowd is making: Not only do the creators need to learn all these things themselves, but they also educate their audience. There is way too much friction.
I feel like lighting could be a better solution. Users download a lightning wallet and @Alby then is good to go! ( Game-changer )
- Pay less attention to the earning part on tool building.
I believe the best creators become the best because they love sharing in the first place, so why not pay more attention to helping them regain the freedom to share and make it easier to monetize?
These are my thoughts so far; I look forward to hearing your take on the future of content creation and business. 👀
