This note is from the future, written in the past, addressing the present.

If you’re reading this, #Bitcoin is the only thing functioning as money anywhere in the world today.

Most don’t realize this yet, but there are signs the legacy system is faltering.

You’re already right about most of your assumptions, where you filled in the blanks.

As the ability to account for the future is compromised, the desire to account for it declines.

Things fall apart; The center cannot hold.

Nostr is coming into its own as the world’s uncensorable & distributed social media network. Populations worldwide are keen to own their digital identities outright, and mass exodus from the digital gulags is coming.

Lightning adoption is soaring, for now thru many competing approaches. But everything that rises must converge.

There is much work to be done on all of these fronts to keep humanity and the private property of each from falling to complete state surveillance & capture.

This is the last frontier of freedom. There is no alternative. All in.
