Received this @Alby newsletter today, I'd have post just a link if it was accessible online, but isn't! Lot of useful links (should be clean from trackers), and poll replicated at the end,enjoy!

Happy New Year!

2024 was for us a year of pivot, releases, upgrades, learning. We are glad to take this journey with you.... and the rest of the Lightning Network. We were closer to our users than ever - through our products, support e-mails, community calls, Buzz newsletter.

Do we have any resolutions? One is already completed - onboarding our users to self-custody. Next one - get them to use it! And... are you making your part?

![](https://m.stacker.news/72315)

We're commited to make Lightning Network strong and accessible. Last year was a great leap forwards in this regard - even if the results are not immediately visible. Thank you for staying with us, logging to Nostr with Alby Extension, tipping with our wallet, giving feedback to the Hub, experimenting with Nostr Wallet Connect. Your usage, feedback, comments drive us and give direction of action. And 2025 will be a year of action, taking control of software we're using, making backups, excercising our sovereignty and Bitcoin's knowledge. Let this - and healthy lifestyle will be our resolutions. 
 
To the next great year together! 
 
For the good start, take a look at our research of the most important news of last month, project discoveries, dozen of new usecases for Bitcoin on the web, and the most important updates from Alby. 
 
Bzzzz!

Earning sats

How do we create a Bitcoin circular economy?

I'd like to see millions of people earning and spending in Bitcoin.

It's quite easy to spend Bitcoin now. Online there's a million places to spend Bitcoin.

Earning Bitcoin continues to be a struggle. Nostr, Fountain, Zebedee, THNDR games and others now allow you to earn a few 100 sats with ease... but earning enough to buy a coffee every day (~3000 sats) is still difficult.

I've often thought that if Uber or Airbnb started to pay drivers, owners in Bitcoin that would immediately allow millions of people to earn sats... but these big corporations are way too slow.

Praia Bitcoin in Brazil or Bitcoin Ekasi in South Africa have managed to build circular economies... but they rely on donations and that is not scalable.

We need a sustainable business model that allows millions of people to #earn sats!

Some ideas here: https://www.stacksats.how/

a public poll where people can zap their preferred art piece to upvote and have them exposed at our ***SATS'N'ART***

There are any tools that enable to create a zapable poll?

We are looking to organize a public poll where people can zap their preferred art piece to upvote and have them exposed at our [SATS'N'ART Exhibition](https://stacker.news/items/847359/r/catoshi) @ Weave Artisan Society Gallery.

I was thinking to use the art territory and create a post for each piece of art, but not sure is ideal, as unzapped posts will soon disappear from the hot section. It will be ideal to have them available in a single page for people to look at them.

Wondering if anyone can suggest a tool that enable us to upload a set of images that people can zap with any amount of sats to have them at the top of the list?

10 reasons I am not stacking sats 👇

alter_native

1. I don't care about wealth and possessions. 

2. Sats in cold storage can do zero work to make the world a better place. 

3. Making a difference in the world is far more fulfilling than hoarding wealth. 

4. We don't get to take anything with us when we leave this body. 

5. I would rather see my children and theirs make a life for themselves and learn important life lessons.

6. Out with citadels,  in with community. When energy and ideas flow, community thrives.

7. Moving and creating is living. I want to live.

8. Who would want to retire? A man with no purpose is no man at all. 

9. Nothing feels better than giving

10. What we give, comes back to us 10x

Let us grow from parasites. Let us lift each other up. Let us support community. Let us be rid of greed and instead be giving. Let the energy flow. Let us transmute and heal. Let us grow. 

A good life is about love and connection. Hoarding wealth is scarcity mindset which is driven by fear. If we want a brighter future, we must let sats flow. And we are so so so early. So let us just be grateful. Clinging to what is "mine" is fiat mindset. Not needed where we are headed.

Let us, let it go.

Thank you for reading
