Gm,

Freedom is not free (and more expensive than 1000 sats one time) and we will see even more beloved relays close down overtime.

We need more plebs running their own relays and more clients doing relay discovery.

Thousands of people all relying on a handful of relays is not the winning formula for nostr. That is neither decentralized or censorship resistant or economically viable.

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

He ain't lying.
