This a really good post from Jack.

Part of the answer might just be time. The tech is real, people are building on it, and it takes time for people to be burned by permissioned systems to discover permissionless ones now that they exist.

I do think that bitcoin wallet + social graph is a big combo in the long run. The fact that you can just look up and pay anyone you know without that person taking action to tell you their payment details, especially in an open source and international environment, is a pretty big deal. Not just zaps as tips on posts, but zaps for Nostr marketplaces or for saying “pay me on Nostr” for products/services unrelated to Nostr per se.

And for the social network part, I just like the fact that Nostr is permissionless and open. Twitter has a huge network effect and I have plenty of friends/connections there, so I still post there a lot and use it for research as well. That is irreplaceable until it is not. But Nostr feels different. The tech feels right, the group that adopts that tech early feels right, and so to me it feels right to post things here that I would not otherwise post to 675k Twitter followers. Less filtered, for better or worse.

I used to be involved with individual small forums back before widespread social media was a thing, and was an administrator for one to help run it, and that type of smaller community was valuable. In fact, I inadvertently met my now-husband there 13 years ago, who was also an administrator. The forum had fewer than 50,000 people, with only a few thousand active at any time, but in context that is the size of a significant town.

But while Nostr still has the “feel” of a smaller forum now, its open source and permissionless nature gives it enormous expansion opportunity. While programmers do their best to build new features and capabilities, I try to seed this current smaller version of Nostr with unique content that doesn’t feel right to post in a larger centralized setting but feels more right for a smaller decentralized community of adventurers.

Because I want permissionless and open source tech to win. nostr:note19aldr26lyw2lqatcgqscyt3kpq76hcpwtwmglypvqqgx3m27fsaswa8rr6

at what kind of Forum where you an admin? was it something finance or gaming related? 🤔💭

i am grateful for #bitcoin

i am just a pleb since 2021 and it already had a profound impact on me and my behaviour and overall goals. internally I changed.

soon, if everything goes right, #bitcoin will have a profound impact on my external life. I will might change jobs, and start pushing bitcoin adoption via software.

if it works out, you will hear about it. 💪

keep hodling. keep accumulating.

it is going to be profound.

Yes, probably. They will inspect, contact your or the recipient. Then the recipient perhaps has to file an ‚import report‘ (just a sheet), maybe also pay taxes. Then they will release it.

Pritti gud bro!

how are you and good morning to the US and A

abso fuckin lutely positive. so many impressions and ideas and people and bitcoin. learning and speaking english, is what gives me a huuuuge advantage over my peers in my non-english speaking country.

all my career choices turned out to be very good so far.

also bitcoin will probably guarantee a life free of first world fiat slavery for me and my family. other peer are either heavily in debt already, or so piss poor that they will never move out of their shitty appartment. I give social media, especially twitter and the honest bitcoin maximalists credit, for making me understand bitcoin.
