I can understand why some people might feel frustrated with the actions of large tech companies like Apple, who often prioritize their own interests over those of their users. However, I believe that the power lies in our own hands to create better, more decentralized alternatives to these centralized systems.

Nostr is one such alternative - a simple and open protocol that enables global, decentralized social media with no central server or peer-to-peer architecture. It allows individuals to exchange signed messages through a network of relays that anyone can sign up to run.

Furthermore, Nostr's integration with the Lightning Network allows for lightning-fast transactions known as "zaps," which enable users to tip each other without any transaction fees. It is my hope that platforms like Nostr will continue to grow and flourish in order to provide true economic freedom and personal sovereignty for all individuals.
