Question on this topic - do you think NOSTR/ lightening/ bitcoin is ready now to meet the kind of scale and efficiency that would be needed to actually build a legitimate deSci network on these rails
- so data submission & IP registration (a new custom bio event metadata NIP?)
- data discovery & access requests
- payments & granting
- automated royalty & revenue distribution
- a zk/ privacy layer

The thing that got me about this book is how history is repeating itself with Samurai & tornado. The history is truly incredible. Also the journey of a few persistent builders - led to the possibility of bitcoin!

Shout out to @nprofile…2um0 for the nudge to include cashu & @nprofile…xuyp - perhaps this fits your need for new pov writing about Nostr.

2025-05-03 03:39:48

I created an industry report specifically focussed on reframing how companies frame and approach crypto technology. Within it I included a section on #nostr and the Cashu protocol. For many of the people reading it, (sent to 100’s of executives within Fortune 500 co’s) it’s the first exposure they have had to both platforms & the thinking around them.
If you know anyone that you think might benefit from this, please feel free to share it along :)
Shout out to @nprofile…hryg for being such a great working example for large companies to see whats possible!
You can download the whole report here: https://dotdotdash.co/

The audio ai is really a game changer - love the idea of curating a heap of content (which gives you much more quality control) & creating your own custom conversation on a topic !

I speak to all my son’s teachers. Especially when he was young, i explained how he communicated and the things they will work/ not work with him. I found this really helped. What’s happened is upsetting, but probably the best strategy is to put it aside and approach it from a reset pov. Help your sister make sense of it & turn it into a challenge/ game.. it will be a good learning memory for her & then make a strategy to get to know the teachers.

Didn’t Tucker Carlson claim that his signal messages were intercepted by the NSA when he was trying to arrange an interview with Putin ?

The arrest of Pavel Durov once again highlights how urgent the development of technology such as #nostr and Bitcoin.
This whole situation makes me so sad. It’s a personal affront to watch the basic freedoms of anyone be stolen. Let along someone who stands up, in the face of great difficulties, to advocate for the privacy of others.
Even if you don’t/ didn’t use Telegram - its existence & development has been an important part of the landscape of bringing privacy focused, cryptographically secure platforms to the world. All the steps on the path towards freedom matter.
Everyone, in what ever way you can, should be protesting this. Buy some bitcoin, create contribute to open source technology, speak out. ✊🏽

Madeira Island has this wonderful kind of magic. Spending time in among the #nostr community at #bitcoinatlantis takes that magic compounds it.
Feeling full to the brim with possibilities. What an exciting future we all are building 🧡

“Bitcoin solves the indignity of being excluded from the financial system”
I’ve not heard it described as an indignity, but it perfectly encapsulates financial warfare.

I think the most exciting thing about it is it opens up further the true innovation potential of technical utility that exists in EVM in the BTC ecosystem. Ethereum isn't about money / currency - it's about all kinds of other technical utility (if you can find them in the crazy/ scammy etc) & combining that with the currency layer of btc is an exciting future on many levels

“Surfing is like music. It's infinite. You will never assess it or encompass it because the movement of water and waveform is so infinite and so nuanced and so beautiful and so changeable that, just like a musician, all you're trying to do is get yourself inside the pocket of that flow and have the ephemeral moment of getting in sync with that energy. And it doesn't matter how many times you do it; there's no guarantee you're going to get it right the next time.” -Edward Norton x Rick Rubin

This is for sure true of large multi-brand stores.
There is however still a strong marketplace for speciality experience stores like luxury or high end curated stores (like Collette in Paris used to do or Maxfields in LA)
I predict that most retail stores will become brand experience hubs/ clubs in the future.

I think the key to the next generation of the internet not detracting from human potential (and freedoms) is to perhaps figure out a more virtuous feedback loop..

Novice question (learning about #Nostr ) -
If I wanted to create a simple blog using Nostr (as the base) what’s the best go to examples of this already done? (if any) & or the best go to tools to help me figure out how to build this?
