gm nostr,

i’m dimitrios paolo, founder of candestra.com, a private fund focused on building long term value through early bets in projects and businesses i believe in

the current landscape is increasingly hostile to freedom of expression. centralized platforms monetize attention, suppress dissent, and optimize algorithms for control

ai is shaping thought. social graphs are gatekept and ownership is abstracted away from individuals and into the hands of a few.

but nostr is different. it may be imperfect but it’s real. i’m here because i see long-term value in systems that can’t be turned off

i’m looking to support, fund, and build alongside others who believe in this direction

i think it's time to make nostr the home of the new internet.
