I think we’ll see a shift in computing trends over the next 10 years. Computers have become so relatively affordable, and governments have become relatively tyrannical, it’s going to change how people interact with both.
This will start in the West and as the stack develops it will be adopted by the East later on.
Rather than running a phone and a laptop which seems to be roughly the default, people’s device counts will increase. Many more “nodes” will come online whether in ones own home or used amongst friends/family/small communities and these will become hubs both to keep prying eyes out of their shit, but likely a big driver will be piracy as people just won’t be able to afford all these subscriptions that are being foisted upon us by Wall Street led tech companies who demand recurring revenue for everything.
Privacy tooling on phones will never be perfect but more and more people will recognise the problem of over-zealous governments wanting to surveil everything and they’ll find ways to splinter their comms and decouple different online identities to make it more difficult to track activity.
Nostr will be the perfect protocol for this. Different identities, different networks/relays, keeping your meatspace KYCed identity away from your social media and your entertainment and your finances etc will become more prevalent.
It seems a bit cypherpunk today because many frogs are still in the simmering water but what we’ve seen in the UK is coming everywhere and people won’t forego the internet, rather they will adapt to stay ahead of the tyranny.
I’ve posted about this before: note1h83…46k2
#Nostr isn’t going to be a global town square. How we see it and interact with it daily today isn’t how it will be in 3-5-10 years.
It is going to ‘fragment’ into communities. Think neighbourhoods, cities and regions. Sports clubs, special interest niches, hobbies.
The growth will come as Bitcoiners go out and rebuild services on nostr apps to replace fiat alternatives. You probably wont see a lot of the growth directly because it will be in pockets that you will likely have no interest in, but it will come and it will be glorious to rebuild the internet into 100,000 Lichtensteins that no Government or Agency or Parasite can quash.
