This is a response I got yesterday when I suggested that the student protesters use Nostr and Lightning Zaps to build their networks and exchange value in a way that doesn't feed the corporations and systems that have us under their thumbs:
"Dude, they gotta use whatever social media they know will quickly enable their movement to reach the most students ASAP. No non-corporate has anywhere near the kind of coverage they need. And they can't gain quick access to the supplies they need using non-govt currency, that hardly any of them have or know how to use in the first place."
So, I guess he's saying that we are required to use the chains that we are bound by.
how about no.
