Bitcoin has always felt very punk but at the same time an act of selflessness, a generous gift.

With this in mind the technology was born and intentionally shared to be interpreted by others.

I would argue it was shared from a place of openness and without fear.

These alt coins may feel far from the original spirit of Bitcoin but I can’t imagine Satoshi creating something like this and not expecting the world to take it upon themselves to reinterpret it.

I can’t pretend to know what the original intent of what Bitcoin was meant to be.

But Bitcoin feels like something that’s meant to keep moving energetically, to be utilized of course but also shared and most importantly never hoarded, rather spent freely.

I think I can see that spirit happening here with Nostr but so far it’s just a feeling - not obvious. But I’m still learning, and am willing to be patient and open to hearing other perspectives.
