We will never get freedom and autonomy through another big platform or big corporation taken over by “better leaders.”

If you’re trying to build the next big platform that’s going to be “The Ebay of Bitcoin” or “The Uber of Bitcoin” etc, I think you might have an incorrect framing… in other words, I think #Nostr is going to be the “Ebay of #Bitcoin.”

What we have to do is build *communities* and private, secure means of communication. Then with those tools we can share and offer any service, product, work, liquidity, & anything else we need. This IS the circular economy, and zaps are just the proof-of-concept.

Like #[2] said: Nostr can monetize dissent.

The economic revolution isn’t simply “going to be grassroots,” it’s only a revolution because it IS grassroots.

GM!💧☀️🤙Waking up and thinking about how my twin daughters recently turned 19.

It feels like a lifetime ago, and paradoxically like yesterday, since I was holding their tiny preemie baby bodies in each of my arms.

Cherish the times when they are young, but also cherish the times when you can have adult conversations with them. 😄

Yeehaw 🤠

- Open protocols don't die easily

- nostr can't go bankrupt

- All accounts already exist

- Social media is only the 1st use case

- It's an identity and reputation layer

- Many "stupid" things will run over nostr

- (Calendar sync, TODO apps, etc.)

- Private relays will be big

- Pay-to-write is not a paywall

- Paywalls (pay-to-read) = stupid

- NIP-07 kills usernames and passwords

- It will improve massively over time

- Time and attention are horrible graph currencies

- Sats fix this & enhance the social graph signal

- Special clients will replace whole networks

- Pivot to nostr or perish
