Hey folks, I've noticed that when I talk about nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyrsrelsprkq5yjakpgfwn6cvkryudzxrgufvx72vqafwquvtx600yfg3uh5 to friends and family, they have no idea how to find it on the App Store or Play Store. So I went ahead and created this video to explain how to download the nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyrsrelsprkq5yjakpgfwn6cvkryudzxrgufvx72vqafwquvtx600yfg3uh5 app!

The world doesnโt change itself.
People do.
People who want to fix broken systems.
People who believe privacy is dignity, and that financial freedom is a human right.
Fedi is growing.
And weโre looking for Change Makers.

๐ก Human rights defenders protecting dissidents
๐ Local economies taking back financial power
๐ Families stepping outside surveillance systems
โก Communities proving Bitcoin is a tool for dignity
๐ก Villages lighting up satellite internet with sats
This isnโt a trend.
Itโs a movement.
And movements need Change Makers.
Change Makers:
Half-glass-fillers.
Opportunity creators.
Pioneering innovators.
Exceptional doers.
People who reshape reality and expand what is possible.
If this is you, Fedi has open roles across our mission tracks:
๐ Federations Lead
๐ก Human Rights Defender Lead
๐ Community Spaces Lead
๐ Head of Community Connectivity โ SateNet
๐งฉ Mini-Apps Lead
๐ฑ On/Off Ramps Lead

Satoshiโs nine pages are a mandate to:
- build tools for privacy
- preserve autonomy
