Is nostr not the purest form of free speech we have today?
Like bitcoin, this empowerment is not provided by laws or rulers.
It's enabled through code & people who share a desire to express themselve without needing permission.
I think nostr needed Bitcoin, but also doesn't need it.
Agree with your post. I think you put it nicely at the end. Btc needs it, because I believe we are seeing Nostr build the “use case” right before people’s eyes.
Btc doesn’t need it because “tick tock next block”. It just works and the honey badger dont care.
I was thinking more along the lines of nostr needing Bitcoin.
Zaps are cool but they're not strictly required.
Permissionless digital money expand's nostr's usefulness, but it's not required.
We've been using encryption for decades & cryptographic key pairs are not unique to bitcoin or new.
Without Bitcoin uniting us & teaching us the value of freedom & responsibility, I'm not sure it could have emerged.
