Dear Apple, I am willfully rewarding content. Simply because I like it and wish to see more of the same kind of content in my feed.
There is nothing you will ever be able to do to stop me from doing so. You cannot take the pleb out of Nostr, but you sure can take the pleb out of Apple.
Nostr is the home of the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Weโre not fond of rules. And we have no respect for the status quo. You can quote us, disagree with us, glorify or vilify us. About the only thing you can't do is ignore us. (You have shown that you couldnโt) Because we change things. We push the human race forward. And while some may see us as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Apple, you are in a privileged position to embrace the new world. You are cash rich. You build technological wonders both in hardware and software. You connect us. You understand the importance of data sovereignty, the importance of integrating payment, the importance of that place where art and โengineeringโ meet.
Embrace Bitcoin, mine it, enter the energy race (you already are in the computing race)
Embrace the Lightning Network. Run your payment nodes, you are already in the payment business.
Embrace Nostr. This is not a Twitter clone. These are the foundations for a new web.
