Exacto. El libro explora de manera muy amplia el tema de la libertad (y la falta de). Aplica para todas las personas en el mundo que estan privadas de sus derechos (economicos, participatorios, basicos, etc.). Por eso me ha parecido muy lindo ver como esta comunidad se ha unificado para luchar juntos por un mismo ideal, el cual usa como fundamento la libertad de cada individuo, lo cual termina siendo una fuerza importante para el bienestar de toda una sociedad. Y no es solo luchar, tambien es construir. Ahi esta la magia.

Something that would be cool to see in later versions of nostr front-ends would be different "views" that basically crib social feed styles that different audiences like.

For example, an Instragram type photo view (which you just swipe over to from the standard tweetstyle pane, or whatever). This is not just a raw dump of every photo on the nostr relay spool (which are as of right now mostly tweet-style), but only the ones people metatag to appear on this pane (for example, indicating they match a fixed aspect ratio, or are just intended for the photo-scroll, or whatever).

By supporting different ways to tag user posts to display in different views (or just handle it invisibly), front-ends can enable Nostr to become basically the "master" social media site that doesn't just replace Twitter, but replaces everything. There's no reason Nostr can't queue up short-form TikTok style videos for you, or long-form YouTube style ones, or Facebook-style event planning, or hell, even a LinkedIn style feed of CVs. All of these sites are just a collection of tags, content refs, and views. Users can just check and uncheck the panes they want to be able to swipe through.

Nostr can be anything to anyone.

Good Morning

Woooow buenos días 🌞

I've been dealing with Bitcoin since pre-2013, and I've gotta say I've never seen it feel as powerful as it does on Nostr. The instant, effectively-free transactions that spring from having so many people on Lightning Addresses is like arriving on a different planet.

Most people's experience with Bitcoin payments -- if they even have it -- is a 30-60 minute wait for mining + two-plus block confirmations, and a fee that made it feel dumb to send less than $20. Most people don't want that. They don't need that. They will never care about that. Some do -- I did -- but it's a permanent minority. This is what makes lightning-fast settlements a big deal.

When normal people and businesses realize that global money transfers can be borderless, instant, free, and only take like two clicks, I think things are going to get very interesting. Still need to cover a lot of road on the privacy problem, but this already feels better than everything naked on-chain.

The hardest problem has always been making it easy for people who don't care about Bitcoin to accept Bitcoin (tender resistance) -- without requiring them to start caring about Bitcoin.

The way you do that is by making it "better than money." We're not there yet for everybody, but for the first time in many years, I caught a glimpse of how it might be possible.
