Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account for which it is understood he doesnāt control directly.
When thinking about the future, this feels like such archaic technology in the present. This is a world where the SEC account was compromised not that long ago and posted market-moving false information.
If a president has nuclear codes, he arguably should also have a signing key for any important communications.
I completely agree with you Lyn but it might be a couple more Presidential election cycles before that's in place. Great note you posted yesterday on Nostr!

Look who understands the initial function of the SHA-2 algorithm!
Apt comparison, but most officials need training in this tech before touching it (which of course, they wonāt do). A good chunk of my below 35 y/o peers donāt even know what a āsigning keyā is
A president holds the nuclear codes, which surely takes a bit of training. Gotta add a Nostr key to that trainingā¦
Lol I like the idea of thatāmake the training a prerequisite for accessing nuclear keys: āNo nukes for you until you finish your Nostr key training!ā
Itās *literal* theatre

Believe it or not he first broke the news on Pinterest, but nobody picked it up.
šÆ I'm pretty sure the Nuclear Football has more user verification than Twitter, but I wouldn't be surprised if there have been many lapses in security after what we saw w/ Trump's assassination attempt.
The 2fa is on phone and his battery dies..
very true.. ..proprietary platforms require too much trust that can not be fully verified.. ..open source is the only way forward
At this point Iād rather not have Sleepy Pedo Joe anywhere nuke codes
In a similar vein, the idea that people are pasting nsecās, unfettered access to their digital identity, into multiple clients is going to look archaic.
If itās not-your-keys not-your-coins, the same holds true for your identity. Everyone needs FROSTR
Wen Frostr? š„¹
Not looking forward to rotating into a new npub that hasnāt been compromised when there are real solutions for putting keys into mobile wallets
You wouldn't need to rotate into a new wallet, just generate Frost shares for your existing npub

Agreed - it seems like āforcing blockchain into everythingā at first, but you quickly realize the very real use case with how many impersonators there are on social media now adays.
With how often official updates are announced on social media in today, itās not hard to see how it could be a national security concern.
This is a very good point. Plot twist: Biden didnāt drop out but was hacked.
Well, think about it: most senators, congress men, and politicians are well into their sixties at minimum, many at seventies and eighties.
I think there has not been such a generational difference between general population and politicians ever. A sign of decrepitude and dementia, which is very appropriate to describe the state of the entire nation.
ideally nuclear codes become just as obsolete as centralized media
It's just me or 99% of the people is sleeping on this? or perhaps there's a 10% that have no idea that Nostr exists and would cheerfully join in. The future is bright ā”ļøš«”
oh yeah! i forgot about that time when the sec was hacked and they mis-announced the btc ETF approval
Imaging a future where world leaders have private keys for Nostr communication is wild. We'll see it. We just need to be patient.
Imagining a future where you use the same private key for both nostr and atproto decentralized ecosystems (I already do!)
I see a future where the atprotocol doesn't exist.
wouldnāt be surprised if he doesnāt even tweet himself. Too risky for his team in his condition.
Literally could have been Elon going:
sudo -POTUS send_tweet
It is still NOT on https://www.whitehouse.gov/ :-) .. at least I couldn't find at a glance ! It should be front and center !
šÆš
Well said!!
āļøThisā¦.this thought changes the way we should look at digital identify on social media/the internet
the nostr is the only place where truth will survive
Would be cool if he comes back today saying he got hacked and is still standing.
Troll a whole news cycle.
Ten hours later ... GM from Europe.
The Whitehouse has a website! Which they still haven't updated. 
šÆš¤
I have better and more secure coms than potus?
If he doesn't control the account what makes you think he'd control a signing key?
The same message also went to Threads and Instagram and whatever other ungodly corporate advertising supported surveillance media the office uses though right? Wasn't like a Twitter Exclusive.
and yet you can't leave your engagement bait habits back on twitter
This is the last time a president gives control over his personal social media to his staff.
Twitter is like Miami and NOSTR is like Paititi or El Dorado
I agree with this take but... just as a password could be compromised a nsec can as well. Don't get me wrong, Nostr is much better but it doesn't fix this fully.
