When people schedule meetings with you then don't show up 🤔

If you are new and don’t get the hype about nostr, here is a quick recap of why it’s a big deal:

1. Network effects - when everyone builds into the same protocol without permission, you get all sorts of interesting interactions. All of them are then easily discoverable by your followers. Example: start streaming > access the entire nostr network without lifting a finger. Without the walled gardens, information travels further and faster to reach more people. This is probably the most powerful aspect of nostr.

2. No need to keep re-building your audience. They follow you no matter where you are, which app/client you are building or using. The moment a new app comes online, you have access to those new features plus your entire audience and their broader sphere of influence. This is massive for startups because one of the biggest challenges of startups is reach. Nostr makes reach much easier not only through the follow functions, but also due to the nature of the broadcasted note.

3. Cheaper infrastructure - the cost to host things is spread across relays. Instead of paying for massive server infrastructure, you can spread your costs to relays. They are still paying for it, and you can even pay for it yourself with a private / hosted relay, but you always have the cheaper option.

4. Ability to add nostr functionality to existing apps. Want exclusivity on your customers and data but the ability to tap into nostr? You can do that. A good example is Fountain podcast app - a hybrid model that works. Now, most apps that benefit from social interactions can also benefit from Nostr.

5. Zaps - yeah, not even first on the list! Frictionless, one tap payments (or no tap payments? - stream on budget), to anyone, anywhere, across client, across OS, across everything. 🤯

6. No need to identify yourself. No emails required, just sign an event with your private key and nobody has to know who you are. Relays will have your IP unless you mask it, but otherwise you limit your exposure to hacks. As long as you don’t share anything you’re not willing to be seen out there, you’re fine. Can’t have identity theft without identities 😂

7. No deplatforming. A client can ban you from using their services, but you can just use another client. There’s literally no way to stop anyone from accessing nostr short of taking down all relays and all clients. This will slowly become an impossibility over time as the number of clients for each use case explodes in numbers. The only thing they CAN do is limit you from their audiences - like Apple wanted to do with Damus because of zaps.

8. Entirely new use cases never before seen - with this level of flexibility, you can create services that have never existed before because they were literally not possible. The sky is the limit, go wild with your imagination!

There are probably so many other reasons, but these are my top 8.

Nostriches,

Today, on Nostr, I am announcing my candicacy for the President of the United States.

As a presidential candidate and software developer, I have conducted extensive research and analysis on the cultural, economic, political, and social events that have shaped our world. In light of this knowledge, I am here to present a compelling argument for why Bitcoin can be beneficial for governments and why it has the potential to replace traditional fiat currencies like the dollar.

Financial Inclusion:

Bitcoin offers a unique opportunity to promote financial inclusion, especially for the unbanked and underbanked populations. By leveraging blockchain technology, individuals can access financial services and participate in the global economy without the need for traditional intermediaries. This empowers people who may have been excluded from the financial system, promoting economic growth and reducing inequality.

Reduced Transaction Costs:

Traditional financial systems often involve high fees, especially for cross-border transactions. Bitcoin provides a decentralized, peer-to-peer system that enables instant and low-cost transactions. By eliminating the need for intermediaries such as banks, governments can reduce transaction costs for both individuals and businesses, fostering economic efficiency and international trade.

Security and Transparency:

Bitcoin's underlying technology, the blockchain, provides enhanced security and transparency compared to traditional financial systems. The decentralized nature of the blockchain makes it resistant to hacking and fraud, safeguarding government finances and reducing the risk of corruption. Additionally, the transparent nature of blockchain transactions enables greater accountability and public trust in the government's financial activities.

Monetary Policy and Inflation Control:

Bitcoin operates on a predetermined and transparent monetary policy, with a limited supply of 21 million coins. This characteristic can be advantageous for governments in managing monetary policy and controlling inflation. Unlike fiat currencies subject to manipulation and inflationary pressures, Bitcoin's scarcity ensures its value is not eroded over time. Governments can leverage this stability to maintain price levels and protect the purchasing power of their citizens.

Technological Innovation and Economic Growth:

By embracing Bitcoin and blockchain technology, governments can foster technological innovation and stimulate economic growth. Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including finance, supply chain management, healthcare, and more. By positioning themselves as leaders in this emerging field, governments can attract investment, create job opportunities, and drive overall economic prosperity.

Now, you may be wondering why I am the ideal candidate to lead our nation during this transformative time. As a software developer, I possess the technical expertise and understanding of blockchain technology necessary to navigate the complexities of integrating Bitcoin into our financial system. Moreover, my extensive research and analysis have equipped me with the insights needed to make informed decisions that benefit our country and its citizens.

I believe in a future where technology empowers individuals, fosters economic growth, and enhances government operations. By embracing Bitcoin, we can create a financial system that is more inclusive, efficient, secure, and transparent. Together, let us embrace this opportunity for progress and build a stronger and more prosperous nation.

Thank you, and together, let's forge a bright future for our country.
