This is a summary of the whole interview that you can find here.
I started in the NFT world—like many artists—hoping it would be a way to share my art and earn something back for all the time and passion I put into it. And for a while, it seemed promising. But slowly, the illusion faded. The space became more about hype, quick flips, and speculation than about real creative value or human connection. It started to feel empty, disconnected from what art truly means to me.
Then I found Nostr—and everything changed.
With Nostr, I discovered a new energy. It wasn’t about chasing trends or pleasing algorithms—it was about being part of a community that values authenticity. And more importantly: a community that shows that value through zaps. These little Bitcoin micro-payments might be small in amount, but they’re huge in meaning. Every zap I receive is someone saying, “I see you. I value what you’re creating.”
That changed everything for me. It gave me the freedom to focus again on the art itself—not on marketing, not on minting, not on selling hype. Just creating. And knowing that if the work resonates, the support will follow—instantly, directly, and peer-to-peer.
Nostr and zaps brought me back to what really matters: human connection through creativity. It’s not just about earning sats; it’s about building relationships, sharing energy, and supporting each other in real-time.
Nostr—with its open protocol and zap-powered ecosystem—is where I truly found my creative home.
