Nostr Web Client

Why I think Nostr is an alternative to people under autocratic regimes like Venezuela:

1) Inmune to Regime Control and censorship, so if the regime blocks social media (like it happened with X in Venezuela 6 months ago), Nostr cannot be blocked.

2) Decentralized and each user will own their account and followers.

3) Nostr is also a payment rail in BTC. This is KEY for freedom activists and regular citizens. At some point billions of $ of remittances will be able to be sent directly, fast and mega low cost.

4) Nostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom.

5) expanding the community of Nostr people under autocratic regimes will be going to the frontline in the fight for freedom. There will be lots of learning and action.

Awesome.

Are you still "fighting for democracy"?

Have you not seen yet that Bitcoin works precisely because it's absolutely non democratic essence?

Have you not seen yet that every democracy evolves into a dictatorship?

Why does democracy evolve into a dictatorship?

Camilo 10mo ago

Because of the incentives at play. The game theory of democracy prevents the system for resulting in any other outcome.

So what do you suggest?

(there is also the ignorance and complacency Democracy creates)
