You had a fantastic 2023. Keep up the momentum - 2024 is for growth. Hold on for a wild ride. Don’t loose faith and keep on building.

Dear #Nostr community,
Today, I want to address a critical issue that’s been on my mind and on the minds of many in our decentralized world: the hypothetical scenario where app stores decide to ban all on-ramps to #Nostr apps.
This situation poses significant questions about the future of decentralized platforms, the role of major app stores, and the resilience of the #Nostr community in the face of censorship (which we probably will see in the 2024 elections).
If app stores were to ban #Nostr apps, the immediate impact could be a barrier for average users to access these platforms through the most common channels (e.g Apple App Store & Google Play Store)
This move could be seen as an attempt to curtail the reach of decentralized networks, influenced by various factors including regulatory pressures, content concerns, or even competitive motives from centralized entities. The tech giants want to maintain their monopolies.
However, the decentralized ethos of #Nostr is not one to back down in the face of such challenges. Alternative methods of accessing #Nostr, such as sideloading apps from websites or using other, more open app stores, would likely become more prevalent.
This situation would not only test but also potentially strengthen the community’s commitment to decentralization, privacy, and freedom of expression.
From a game theory perspective, this scenario presents an intriguing interplay of actions and reactions.
App Stores would have to balance their policies with the potential backlash and the growing demand for decentralized applications.
Users might be divided between those who find alternative ways to access #Nostr and those who are deterred by the additional steps required.
Developers could be incentivized to innovate and create more robust methods for distributing their apps, thus promoting an even more resilient decentralized ecosystem.
The Silver Lining …
While a ban from app stores can be seen as a setback, it could also serve as a catalyst for growth and awareness.
Such a move would bring into sharp focus the importance of decentralizing not just our platforms but also the means of accessing them.
It could spark a larger conversation about digital rights, censorship, and the role of major corporations in our digital lives.
As we navigate these challenges, it’s crucial to remember that the strength of #Nostr lies in its community and the shared belief in a decentralized future.
Let’s continue to support each other, explore alternative access methods, and stand united for the principles of decentralization, privacy, and free speech.
Let’s embrace this challenge as a chance to innovate, grow, and show the resilience of our community.
Stay humble and stack sats,
Mason
Please comment. I realize I don’t know what I don’t know. This is an open discussion around the principles of decentralization and free speech and I want to learn more.

There could be a huge change in the workplace due to AI.
In the future when AI becomes more integrated into society.
Workers will be more efficient and some jobs will be eliminated.
Will the jobs that require leadership and dealing with emotions be more valued?
Jobs that help people become better people. Jobs that hold people accountable (eg. coaching, advising, consulting).
It’s going to be exciting to see what happens.

AI and crypto are allowing real speech and economic speech to happen at a faster rate. When people talk and communicate then things get done. When things get done the economy gets larger. https://image.nostr.build/c39a5dfc23c803e279330b5994e99ae213eef12e858eba7b9ef78bc2c745f142.jpg

Decentralization and open source developers understand the meaning of “let go let God”.
They understand that the world is a better place when it benefits the many and not the few.

AI and humans must coexist, fostering societal growth. It’s crucial for schools to educate students on engaging with LLMs. Companies should prioritize their shareholders by reducing expenses and optimizing resources. Consequently, America needs to embrace AI.

Things have to get dirty before they can be clean.
Let me explain.
We have to frac, burn coal, and mine before we can fully depend on renewable energy sources. The technology isn’t there yet and the energy sector has to grow.
Capitalism has to be so good before socialism can exist. The world has to get richer before abundance is everywhere.
The technology has to get there. It’s not there but it will.
The economy has to get larger. It will get a lot larger over time.
People have to communicate more and Nostr and Bitcoin are major parts of this. It’s the Pax Romana 2.0.
Our current imaginations are larger than the reality that we live in but dreamers got to dream.
These utopian societies that we all cherish in our minds will someday become reality but we have to get a little dirty before we can be great.

If you want to cure anxiety and develop resiliency then hear me out.
Introduce 2 minute cold showers to your day.
They suck at the beginning but you feel great at the end.
Put it on the coldest level and start a timer. All you have to do is focus on staying in & breathing.
Cold exposure is a life hack. Try it for yourself.

Life hack. If/when a recession comes around to the US just fall asleep and try to go into hibernation until it’s over. You will will save yourself a lot mentally agony. Follow me for more life advice.

Remember that Earth gets demolished to make way for an interstellar highway in the “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.
I think there is a big lesson in this.
It shows you how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things so don’t worry about the outcome and do what makes you happy.
One day you could be writing posts on Damus and the next day you could become an alien highway in the blink of an eye.
You will never know when the aliens decide that that want a new highway.
Do what you love. ❤️
