#Nostr is low time preference, but it is going to eat the whole internet.

It’s the most important technology since #Bitcoin.

The incentives of nation states with their failing fiat currencies lashing out to try and control everything to keep their ponzis afloat, whilst AI-bots come online en masse will render the centralised/permissioned/KYCed internet practically useless and pretty much guarantees this is how things play out.

We’re early, but nostr’s S-curve is going to outpace Bitcoin and drag it along with it. nostr:note1cwhmt7q4n283n4ejhjs2rjcm7a9zpm5q9ewlgej4x5yltvqcxfasj2v33e

Unsure about the "whole internet", but glad to see some growth again. However, I think the relay sare going to melt quite soon.

You have posted previously about the early development of the web and a few people getting together to decide the future of the protocols which made things path dependent later down the track.

I can’t see that happening with nostr, certainly not with this bootstrap cohort of users and devs. Good luck herding those cats!

Let the relays melt - it will force decentralisation.

For the longest time I’ve said this is not made to be a global public square and the very concept of that is stupid.

Nostr should fragment. It should be small communities. It should be a relay for your family and another for the block you live on and another for your kids kindergarten and another for local news and so on.

On top of that we should each have 10-20-50-100 identities; I don’t want my poker playing identity attached to my block identity and I don’t want that identity attached to my political rantings etc.

Expect nostr to grow and centralise first before splitting and devolving into a hydra to avoid capture.

People will be using nostr and bitcoin with no idea that they’re using either - they’ll just know it’s the only way to communicate without bot spam and being gulaged for wrongthink.

Could be. Time will tell!

💯between #nostr and #bitcoin we already have everything in place for freedom. A massive step change. Free speech and free commerce. We could use it now already to upload Wikileaks like content, offer things for sale, and pay with zaps. Peer to peer.
