Nostr Web Client

> Is the idea of “decentralization” possible in a world where states can arrest CEOs and founders? Nothing can prevent somebody from exchanging funds with one another using Bitcoin or expressing something on Nostr, so long as enough independent people are running a network of Bitcoin nodes or Nostr relays.

It's OK if you like bitcoin, but please understand that it is a transparent coin without privacy. This means that any transactions and even your wallet contents are available for everyone to see and monitor.

This means for example when the Canada protest accepted donations that the State went straight after the donors.

Bitcoin is not used since years for any meaningful financial transaction where a State wants to repress. Everyone has moved to Monero years ago because it delivers that needed privacy.

Please learn the difference, your privacy and indepence very well depend on this.

correct me if i’m wrong, but i see two different characteristics in bitcoin and monero. bitcoin has the potential to store value—given its scale, transaction volume, social consensus, and sec approval. monero, on the other hand, is strong on privacy. having a global currency that fulfills both goals seems a little utopian, don’t you think? (by “utopian” i mean “highly impossible in our lifetime”)

By all means keep using bitcoin to increase your fortune because it will continue going up with all the government support behind.

Just don't forget to convert enough coin in your daily expenses or donations using Monero.

Otherwise there will come a time when crypto quitessentially became casino coins used only for speculation at binance or some other circus. There wil be little difference between calling it "crypto" or calling it forex to make a profit.

There was a reason why we adopted cryptocurrencies almost 20 years ago. Privacy and freedom are not negotiable for crypto users.

Horrible, that applies and hurts too much. Please delete! 😅 😂

btw, nostr should be listed on post-blockchain. It is technology built to survive a zombie apocalypse. When the internet is gone, small places with the remaining local networks will still be using nostr apps fairly OK to send notes and other stuff to each other.

In true right it has replaced IPFS from that list.
