Bitcoin allows us to store, send and measure value but it does NOT help figuring out who to trust.

Think about it: yes you can accept sats in exchange for your services and products almost trustlessly with bitcoin, but what about the other party?

When I buy anything, I need to put trust in my counterparty to give me what he promised because it is very hard to recover from a deal or trade gone wrong. We need to focus on prevention of conflicts which is more trust between parties beforehand.

This kind of trust comes from people, not money. And I prefer to put my trust in people I know in the first place, and then widen the circle of trust further to degrees of separation.

Nostr turbocharges this trust because we are bootstrapping communities and markets where all communication is signed and standardized.

Communities bootstrap markets which in turn feed more flourishing in communities in a virtuous cycle (quite similar to how bitcoin is monetizing).

Bitcoin is the most trustless.

Nostr can become the most _trusted_ .
