Saylor vs Sam ποΈ
Orange is no longer just the color of Bitcoin.
Looking to compete with the likes of Worldcoin, Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, announced that the firm will be launching the Microstrategy Orange Decentralized Identity Protocol.
According to MicroStrategyβs vice president of engineering, Cezary Rackzo, the protocol will allow decentralized identities to be embedded and secured by the Bitcoin network.
Deviating from the stance of Bitcoin purists, the Orange protocol will use its own rendition of the Ordinals protocols to create inscriptions of decentralized identifiers.
These identifiers can then be used to verify users on social media and the legitimacy of important documents such as certificates and medical records.
Rackzo added that the platform will also feature its own software development kit (SDK), allowing developers to integrate applications from the Orange protocol directly into their own systems.
Besides the announcement, MicroStrategy has also published an unofficial draft of the Orange protocol specifications on Github.

[New Essay] Nostr is Identity for the Internet
The Internet needs user-owned identity and an associated open data layer. And I'm more convinced than ever that Nostr will win.
I agree with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m that the long tail of microapps is ultimately Nostr's killer feature. But which will take off next?
In my mind, Nostr will follow a straightforward trajectory - first solving discovery/reputation problems for Bitcoiners, then for early tech adopters, and finally for the mainstream. Here are some examples where I think Nostr based discovery & reputation will shine:
- Global, social payments ala nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm & nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw

Of course the most exciting category of all is the unexpected wave of unimaginable apps that will eventually emerge. Ultimately, user owned identity and open data lead to online trust, which is a beautiful and deflationary force, capable of disrupting predatory marketplace middlemen and shifting the balance from financial to social capital. I.e. a more humane world. (h/t nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj)
