NIP-57 is blowing my mind right now. We can sell a product directly from nostr, and have an invoice that proves the customer paid. We can setup a products page with a new private key and have our own storefront.

And the truly amazing thing is this all runs on Bitcoin. We don’t have to know anything about our customer, just that their public key shows proof of payment.

We are witnessing the birth of a cypherpunk society in realtime 🤯⚡️🧡

Nostr is elegant in its simplicity. It lacks many anti-features, such as:

* Paid advertisements that fill your feed with noise.

* The Algorithm, which distorts the reach of accounts and messes with your curation in unknown ways.

* Arbitrary limits on the length and type of content you post.

* Unpredictable rules around how embedded media gets rendered.

* Nanny warnings about posting negative language.

* Unencrypted DMs that can be read by admins.

* An ever-looming axe over your head that if you violate the increasingly complex and ever-changing terms of service, your account will be censored.

Nostr is freedom.

Good morning my new neighbors!

Nostr is much better with friends or without friends? Thoughts?
