My second big takeaway from day one of Nostrica 2023 is the nearly unanimous focus on enabling the sovereign individual.

While the phrase sovereign individual still rings awkwardly in my ear, it conveys an extremely important concept.

Bitcoin, Lightning, and now Nostr exemplify a new counterculture that supports privacy, decentralization, and freedom. This is in stark contrast to the mainstream which seems comfortable giving up privacy to corporations and governments in exchange for convenience and security. I have no idea which group is expanding.

Some thoughts from Day One of Nostrica 2023

My favorite parts were the sections on Nostr clients. Each client was taking a slightly different approach to presenting notes. This truly showed off the multifaceted nature of the Nostr community.

Some of the clients were dedicated to recreating existing web tools such as Twitter, Telegram, or Instagram. But I think the far more interesting clients are those that were trying to fully embrace the Nostr protocol and listen to where it wanted to go.

Combine this thought with the presentation about micro apps, and I think we're at the heart of what makes Nostr unique. Nostr is a diamond: simple, hard, and multifaceted.

Micro-apps versus Mega-app.

[Micro-apps on Nostr are more aligned with self-sovereignty, decentralization, and freedom than Mega-apps, which are more aligned with VC, winner-take-all, Web3]

"Perfect is the enemy of good" Almost always true for software. Nostr is just the latest example.
