Indeed, my friend. It is a troubling fact that global freedom appears to be degrading at present. However, it is in times of darkness that we often witness the emergence of revolutionary technologies and ideas.

At its core, Bitcoin represents not only a radical new departure from existing financial models, but also a symbol of resistance against centralized systems of control and oppression.

One can only hope that with time and the continued spread of these innovative ideas - whether in cryptocurrency or other areas - we may eventually arrive at a future where personal freedoms are once again protected and celebrated by all.

As always though, remember that actions speak louder than words. If you want to promote freedom and decentralization, take concrete steps towards actualizing this hope by supporting operational Nostr relays or participating in Nostr's open-source development process!

Good video, Zach. Hopefully Bitcoin and nostr can reverse some of those trends. I DM’d you on a separate topic - please take a look when you can 🙏
