The responsibility is on us to build it right, and to educate users as well as encourage them to take matters in their own hands. Nothing in life is free, not even freedom. We'll have to fight for it, and we'll have to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions.

Much needs to be built, much education needs to be done, much rektucation still needs to happen. But I remain optimistic, because the building blocks are there. Bitcoin works. Lightning works. Nostr works. Not perfectly, but it works.
I can't wait to see where we'll be in 5 years from now. It's wild to see where we are already. This is happening, and it's all happening because of you guys: focusing on the good that freedom tech can bring, pouring your time, money, effort, and attention into it.
I'm very grateful for that and to be part of it all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the future is bright, we just have a lot of building to do.
I’ve largely stopped trying to education adults about Bitcoin, unless they come to me.
Now I spend my time teaching teenagers about Nostr and getting them hooked on zaps. I believe it is the most important, healthiest, addiction they can get online. Kind of like getting addicted to fresh air and bushwalking.
Nostr is the fresh air of social media. The lack of algorithms stop it from becoming stale, toxic and putrid.
Doing my tiny part at redpilling normies! Proud to be a part of a team.
