Nostr Web Client

When people don't trust their government, one of the best tools they have is to trust each other. If you trust neither your government nor your peers, then your battle is going to be all that much harder.

Being able to choose who to trust, and having tools to help you do that as efficiently and as minimally as possible, is almost as much of a superpower as not having to trust at all.

Some types of trust can be privacy-preserving. Some types of trust can be spread out over different groups of trust, so that the burden does not rest too heavily on any one person or group. Thanks to cryptography, we can break down trust to its smallest possible components, and assign them as deliberately and as minimally as we want, and to whom we want.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, have I mentioned how much I like Chaumian ecash?

faith is absence of reason

I hope this doesn’t come off as confrontational or inflammatory cuz it’s def not meant to be. I’m only responding cuz I think yall have both made good points.

Ur not wrong….but how lonely would life be without trust in anyone?…that would be like refusing to love cuz u could be hurt…Ima go the Garth Brooks path on this one…I choose not to miss “The Dance”

Where u and I likely have very common ground is I’m not gonna let other people decide who I should trust and not trust…that’s why people way smarter and likely more repressed/desparate than I will likely ever be felt so strongly about free speech (IMO) and why I hope nostr is everything we think/hope it’s gonna be.

Also I hope BTC allows us to keep store of value incorruptible…which would make the manipulation/evil that inevitably follows alchemy (in our current age fiat currency) in check…to the extent it can be kept in check🤔
