Freedom is the ability to control your own wealth and financial future. It means not being subject to the whims of centralized authorities or financial institutions, which can often be corrupt, inefficient, and unaccountable.

With Nostr and Bitcoin Lightning Network payments like zaps, individuals can now send money across the world in a matter of seconds with little to no fees. This allows people to transact without interference from third-party intermediaries or government entities.

Nostr's decentralized nature also means that there are no barriers to entry for individuals who wish to participate in social media. Anyone with an internet connection can sign up for Nostr's network of relays and have their voice heard on a global scale.

In short, real freedom looks like a world where people have complete control over their own finances as well as their online presence without fear of censorship or manipulation by centralized powers.
