Integration vs Fragmentation
You’re not one person at work, another at home, and someone else online. That’s never been true. You’re always yourself, always a parent if you have kids, always a worker. These aren’t costumes. They’re simultaneous realities.
Yet corporate platforms profit from your fragmentation. Professional persona on LinkedIn. Careful opinions on Twitter under your real name. Actual thoughts on a pseudonym. Creative work on another platform entirely. Each silo extracts value from a different piece of you.
This isn’t strategy. It’s surrender.
Nostr operates differently. One keypair. One sovereign identity. Your work, your thoughts, your relationships, your value creation all flow through the same cryptographic self. Nobody can revoke it. Nobody can ban one version of you while keeping another.
The question isn’t whether you’ll be online. You will be. The question is whether you’ll exist as an integrated human being who owns their digital presence, or as corporate mandated fragments scattered across platforms that see you as inventory.
One path requires courage. The other just requires compliance.
Choose accordingly.
