I liked the internet back when it was AOL, my space, dial up, and instant messages
Nostr gives me the same vibe
Bitcoin fixes money and aligns incentives
Nostr fixes communication and online stuff
Yay
It’s like a return to the old days of cool internet and sound money before the failed fiat experiment
Only this time it’s 1000000000000000x better
MySpace reminded me of BBS’. In that, it was essentially your “site”, tailored the way you like it and other people came to you to see what made your “site” different.
💯 everyone’s page was so unique
With different music, u could pick ur favorite or like top 5 friends….
It didn’t feel like corporate America bullshit
Irc, and even yahoochat. Icq and aim user back in the day
I miss BBS’s, my 14.4 modem and my 386 PC
No idea what any of that is…
I’m a regard
Bulletin boards (BBS’s) were the dialup precursors to internet websites. People shared files and heavily pixelated images across telco lines and dialup modems. At the time, a 386 PC was the standard, before Pentium 1,2 and 3 arrived. The first version of Windows gave rise to Windows 95 and the rest is history. It’s cool that anyone in their 50’s nowadays has witnessed the entire lifecycle so far of personal computing and the rise of the internet. And are among the last people in the west to remember what it means to play outside for the whole day as a kid.
