Seems like a plus factor - web5 (dApps, SSI like to your DIDs, IPFS, and data walllet) would encourage users on the current internet to take back their identity. I believe TBD’s biggest challenge and their most important role will be, not so much in creating this, but in educating people globally to take back their identity from gov’ts and commerce.

Nostr operates at the application layer, meaning it can sit on top of TCP/IP. It re-imagines and liberates the web interactions from your existing caged situations. TCP/IP itself is a decentralised architecture. The early days that mentioned in this talks - Usenet, Telnet, Gopher - were all decentralised protocols on application layers. While HTTP and SMTP were also decentralized, they inadvertently allowed a few large players to gain massive control, which in turn enabled gov'ts to exert influence over these entities to control large populations of people

Re-imagining a new app layer like Nostr is a lengthy process. Rebuilding architecture like web5 using OSI is also lengthy process. While they are different, both serve the same goal of liberating users in taking back the ownership of their identities
