Am I dreaming?

Bitcoin and NOSTR enabled the formation of Web Of Trust in both money as human interaction.

What this implies and what happens next may be hard to comprehend.

But here is my take.

While distrust and nihilism undeniably prevails globally, it pushes humanity into corners of fear, stagnation and conflict.

States are failing, politicians are corrupt, government spending is out of control and hyperinflation is looming.

In the past, there was no alternative, people had no other option.

WOT pulls these people in like a magnet simply because it is only alternative option.

Once people unchain themselves from doctrines of the state

and experience WOT, they never go back.

WOT is human evolution.

It punishes frauds, bad actors and immoral behavior that end in devision and wars.

WOT incentivizes positive behavior and universal social norms as respect, taking responsibility and makes it easier to contribute to society.

WOT will only grow stronger and will enforce rationality and morality. It will enable human flourishing on an unprecedented scale.

We all have pieces of the puzzle here and I like to explore this further going forward.

What do you think? Am I dreaming?

I think you’re on to something here. It feels like the internet in the early 2000’s. Before algorithms started messing with all the incentives.

Yeah, it is remarkable to witness how these algos create 'allergic' reactions and push technology to counter it.

exciting times to be alive for sure!!

WoT is a big thing here on nostr. The big question is whether this concept can reach a wider audience.

The current system has a pretty attractive incentive system: take loans, buy real estate, beat inflation and turn a blind eye to the zero-sum-game implications.

There is great potential in the cross-weave of Bitcoin and nostr, though i.e. the prospect of becoming wealthier and freer by withdrawing from the status quo.

Yes, that is why I am bringing it to attention here. Strong ideas travel fast.

For me it is clear, all that flat clown world shit will end because humanity wants to thrive.

The debt based society will be put to rest in waves and historians will look back describeing this phase as an insane experiment destined to fail by design.

It’s impossible to predict how things will turn out but the sense of optimism amongst Bitcoiners and Nostriches is worth the entry fee!

Well... I think I can be quite sure at this point that we cannot eacape the debt doom loop anymore and also its consequences.

So, imo you don't have to be Nostradamus to realise the music will just stop in room A and will continue in room B.

That said, gold people are predicting this for decades, but it could not work because it was centralized and easily corruptible.

WoT is something else. It is the new base layer that will be available for eternity and it can only accelerate bc it has no gatekeepers.

Agreed. I have been trying to imagine what this will look like in the long term because it will make it harder for new people to reach a broader audience, but maybe that is fine.

The appeal of a social media site with a cap on how many people can be reached is a tough sell and the spread of ideas would be slower for those outside the WOT.

It might create greater inequality in influence. I'm having a hard time envisioning all the game theory and implications, but I also think nostr is in its infancy and many of these things will be tweaked as we move forward.

Well said, any Bitcoiners out there that write science fiction?😏

There are a few for sure. I need to brain on this a bit. Might have some ideas about how it will evolve

Very good take, I fully agree. I feel the same, think your not dreaming. Or perhaps we all are. A dream you have alone is just a dream. A dream shared with many other people becomes reality! I recently joined Nostr, like the vibe! I post about Bitcoin and related topics only. Will give you a follow.

Great, thanks for providing the signal! Followed.
