Proof of Work vs Proof of War. What's it gonna be anon

I realised that riding scooters in asia is quite similar to nostr. You have the freedom to ride however you want but people somehow understand what you can and can't do. People could ride quickly or erratically but they don't. Instead rhey follow the social contracts. No sudden swerves. No sudden stopping. Small gives way to big. Pedal gives way to motor. Old people crossing get a special pass. These social rules don't appear as laws. Its just how humans have self organised. Is there anyone to enforce these rules? Not really. Are there many accidents? Not really for the amount of vehicles and people on the roads.

This is in stark contrast to UK and Australia which are 2 countries I have been in prior to here. Rules are set. Police are there to enforce and people are fined into submission. Don't do that or you will get a fine!!! But it also creates a sense of blind stupidity also. Light goes green, go, no need to check for someone running a red light. No one speeds anymore (not advocating for it at all) but they are homogenous people close to self driving algorithmic cars actually. What is clear is that people are also too scared to innovate and self organise even if there are clear social advantages.

Strange how a democracy feels restrictive and a communist country feels free in that aspect.

Do I believe in humanities ability to self organise. Yes to some extent.

Do I believe in humanities ability to self organise with code as the basis? Absolutely.

And that's what I believe Nostr is. Humans organising themselves as they see fit around code. Will we always get it right? Def not. By why should we re-run an experiment of rules and regulations that has already been run and failed. Why not run a new experiment and we embrace nostr.

Nostr, where you never know your actual follower count.

They keep printing and laughing at you.

Buenos días, Pura Vida

Fire it up for another great day!

Who has the best memes on Nostr?

Good Morning people!

Is the corporate media absent from nostr because:

1. They hate free speech

2. They know their words have no value

3. They don’t know how to setup a lightning wallet

signs are everywhere

Good metaphor. People tend to behave like children if you treat them like children, and vice versa

You can onboard directly to the future via bitcoin, lightning, and nostr… or you can pay more to onboard later by playing games with crypto and blockchains with your precious time.

I took the long path, I don’t recommend it, but I welcome

you no less if that’s your path as well.

Pv & Good Morning 💜🧡

When I first really jumped into the rabbit hole of bitcoin Q2 of 2021, I heard many folks saying “bitcoin can do what all the altcoins can do in its blockchain, they’ll be rendered obsolete!”

2023 - ordinals gaining steam, those same bitcoiners “wtf get these stupid jpegs outta here, bitcoin does one thing and one thing well - hard money!”

p.s. I’m neutral on ordinals and here for the hard money, peer-to-peer cash. Just stating an observation

Let's not forget that just like the birth of Bitcoin was a result of 40 years of research, multiple trials and errors, Nostr is the outcome of 17 years of now evident failures from our known "platforms" attempting to connect our world. They crafted false illusions disguised as incentives for us to participate.

The thing is, they only thought about serving their own business model, not the world.

We were fooled, that's ok, now time to pay the bill.

Nostr cannot be undone.
