If you’re in Nostr or Bitcoin spaces just to broadcast your genius takes, you’re missing the point entirely. You’re bringing platform logic to a post platform world.

The opportunity isn’t to recreate Twitter without censorship. It’s to build something genuinely different. A network where relationships are primary and protocol is supporting infrastructure.

This means engaging deeply rather than broadly. It means consistent presence over viral moments. It means being useful to specific people rather than impressive to everyone. It means showing up when there’s no attention to be gained.

It means understanding that the person you help troubleshoot their Lightning node today might be the relay operator who keeps your content available tomorrow. The person you have a thoughtful disagreement with might become a collaborator on a project next year. The small community you invest time in might become the trusted network that provides opportunity and support for decades.

These aren’t transactions. They’re relationships. And relationships are what survive when everything else fails.

The technology gets us out of the trap. The relationships are why we’ll never need to go back in.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
