Hello Nostr! For my first post, an introduction feels appropriate with Nostr, but why is that? Why do so many of us talk about our discovery of Nostr like we just discovered the next best thing? We don't act that way with any other social media.

Simply, I think it is because we have discovered the next best thing. And not just the next best thing, but the thing that will change online communication forever.

Nostr revolutionizes social media and is fundamentally different from anything else due to how our information is shared through relays and different clients instead of a single source. This change alone has the potential to disrupt current social media, and is the path forward to #freedom communication channels for the world.

My journey to Nostr started with #Bitcoin. I first heard about Bitcoin in 2020, but didn't really start learning about it until late 2021. I heard about Nostr from the Bitcoin influencers and podcasters I listened to. My understanding of how Bitcoin worked was fundamental to me understanding Nostr and it's importance. The Freedom provided by these two beautiful inventions is set to change the world in a way we can't fully see yet.

The note app Obsidian is also a big part of this start for me. I’ve wanted to improve and organize my thoughts for a long time, as well as learn better ways to articulate my thoughts, so this will also be part of my journey doing that.

So here's to the start of my journey with the future of social media, communication, and freedom.
