“For the first time we have a protocol for free and open communication that’s seamlessly integrated with an internet-native money; neither of which can be controlled by the government.

Anyone can use #Nostr, just like anyone can use #Bitcoin. You don’t need an ID, or a bank account, or an email address; you don’t even need to use your name.”

Hold hold on. Most people zap and receive zaps from custodial wallets. Fully trusting them not to run with those sats. Since when is fully trusting "native"?

When I give client permissio ln to send my zaps, I fully trust them not to rob me blind and I scale ny sats held on such tool to minimum.

Its integrated, but for sure not "seamlessly".

“Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.”
