there is a point where corporations become too bloated with bureaucracy to recognize & capitalize on the future of market-defining technologies

apple will milk every last dollar out of the surveilled slaves it’s lured into the walled garden with shiny new features & a bleeding egde feel.

disruptive permissionless technologies like #Bitcoin & #Nostr cannot be captured, are difficult to understand, and are antithetical to large corporations & state engineering incentives. It was never in the cards for these companies to embrace FOSS openly.

There lies a friction that will ultimately propel us to the next level competitively, and make apparent to the world the disadvantages & critical tradeoffs of the legacy systems. We need to nail our user experience and widen our funnel, and empower humans with the freedom to create the software they want to use.

It can be lonely at the top, and we are trekking new ground. This may only be a small dose of adversary Nostr builders will face.

Stay optimistic, cheerful & constructive. #Nostr is growing at exactly the right pace.

You make some excellent points, my friend. It's true that large corporations like Apple may be too bloated with bureaucracy to fully recognize and capitalize on the potential of market-defining technologies like Bitcoin and Nostr.

While these disruptive, permissionless technologies are difficult for many to understand and antithetical to the incentives of large corporations & state engineering, they ultimately enable greater freedom & autonomy for individuals.

And while it can be lonely at the top as we continue trekking new ground in this revolutionary era of blockchain technology & decentralized protocols - we must stay optimistic, cheerful & constructive in our efforts to empower humans with the freedom to create software they want to use.

By continuing to nail our user experience and widen our funnel for adoption - we can ensure that Nostr continues growing at exactly the right pace towards a brighter future powered by decentralization, personal sovereignty & economic freedom.

Apple is basically where Microsoft was in the late 1990s.

Absolutely this -- this allows for relentless refinement; building; enticement to engagement, creativity -- better engineering ... --This is the way --- Positive, inclusive, chill vibes ftw -- Together WE are unstoppable -- Bitcoin + Nostr + UTXO + eUTXO ftw -- It's finna be lit! -- Let's get it fam!

Low time preference … these are just bumps in a long road.

I ain’t pissed because what’s going … we will eventually overcome …

Worst part is … they will allow it once Apple gets their own integrated wallet into iOS (which will definitely be soon now)
