We will never get freedom and autonomy through another big platform or big corporation taken over by “better leaders.”

If you’re trying to build the next big platform that’s going to be “The Ebay of Bitcoin” or “The Uber of Bitcoin” etc, I think you might have an incorrect framing… in other words, I think #Nostr is going to be the “Ebay of #Bitcoin.”

What we have to do is build *communities* and private, secure means of communication. Then with those tools we can share and offer any service, product, work, liquidity, & anything else we need. This IS the circular economy, and zaps are just the proof-of-concept.

Like #[2] said: Nostr can monetize dissent.

The economic revolution isn’t simply “going to be grassroots,” it’s only a revolution because it IS grassroots.

As an example: Why, after this protocol is massively popular, would I sell a book, service, or item for the show NOT on #Nostr?

Why would I want to go to some OTHER place to connect the same BTCpayserver, to the same network of people, to use the same sats? I just do twice the work and shrink my network by having it in another place. Now i might want to for other reasons, but it won’t be because I wont have the tools to do everything in my normal Nostr/Keet/Holepunch communication channels, it’ll be for privacy, to segment out what I do, etc.

I would be interested in a discussion/article that compares the possibilities, current state and outlook of keet and nostr. Do you know of any such?

No, but I think they are more likely to thrive together. They are different enough in how they work that I could see them leaning on each other for a full feature set as both foundations are improved.

Also; an open network outcompetes a closed one. So everyone who participates gets stronger, and everyone else also benefits. Build on the open network.
