GM
It’s hard to explain what it feels like when NOSTR actually clicks.
There's a moment when it stops being just Bitcoin virtue signaling and becomes something real.
You notice your need for social media fading.
Because this actually feels like a tool. And more than that, a solution.
There’s a kind of peace that comes from using something open source.
It reminds me of when we believed the U.S. were the good guys.
Like checking in on a positive news story in the paper fifty years ago.
Open source protocols are the good guys now.
And here’s the surprise:
Bitcoin works.
It works exactly how we hoped it would.
Using Bitcoin on NOSTR feels like a nonlinear return on your time—like you’re actually moving toward a real solution to most of what’s broken in the world.
NOSTR is also where the most honest questions get asked.
And where a calm, focused group of people work through them—because they have real skin in the game.
You don’t need to rage-consume NOSTR.
You feel better stepping away.
Because what’s happening here actually makes you want to think more clearly.
