Satoshi started the motor of the world.

Yes, although I personally don’t try to fit Nostr into that metaphor. Nostr is cool, but subtracting ourselves from traditional social media isn’t as impactful as subtracting ourselves from the fiat economy. If you really didn’t want to use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. you could just exit it all and only interact in the real world.

Bitcoin fits the metaphor much better. Satoshi is a figure similar to John Galt. I’ve had many people ask “who is Satoshi Nakamoto?” And nobody has an answer. Leaving the fiat economy and entering a Bitcoin one where there are hard rules attached to reality and nobody acts for the sole purpose of benefiting others is very similar to Galts Gulch. It’s also actually impactful - every dollar we give away makes the dollar a weaker form of money. The “wall of energy and encryption” is similar to the invisibility shield concealing the valley, except it’s in cyberspace instead of in physical reality.
