Nostr is the trust layer we’ve all been looking for. Quite simply, you can generate your own npub/nsec and use that as the starting basis for developing your trust relationships.
With an npub (really your nsec), you can sign: your notes and metadata; encrypt and decrypt your messages; and, pay and get paid (zaps and ecash).
Brought all together with relays, what more do you need for a trust layer?
Provable computation for DVMs.

I love this quote so I'm adding this...
"The practical consequence of solving this problem is that Nostr gives us, for the first time, a way for one Internet user to transfer a unique piece of digital information and property to another Internet user, without using a centralized entity"
(not to dismiss the forefathers, a nod to mix network, LAN, napster, gnutella)
