“Think of Bitcoin as a bank account in the cloud, and it’s completely decentralized: not the Swiss government, not the American government. It’s all the participants in the network enforcing.” – Naval Ravikant

Nostr in 3 quotes ⚡️ 1️⃣ “The simplicity, openness, and speed of development makes Nostr special. The real power is going to be the microapps people build on this and how they seamlessly work together.” @Jack 2️⃣ “Nostr is an open protocol: Unlike the old social media "platforms" where the platform-owner (FB, Tiktok, Twitter) gets to decide who can speak—and what can be heard. If a platform is a silo, a protocol is a river: no one owns it, and everyone is free to swim." -Edward Snowden 3️⃣“(For Nostr to succeed) We probably need a handful of other Jacks.” @Fiatjaf Bonus: "Nostr is the best trojan horse ever invented to bring the world's population into Bitcoin." @Gonzalo 🙏 Please repost 🤙 Pura vida 💜 Links: - Jack Dorsey: @nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspqqhszhat - Edward Snowden: @nprofile1qqsgfhhxuemwtwm8kjk5uppv7uxtmp5pz4wm2dv59lxx5pfnsk98ysqpqq2dp6kl - Fiatjaf: @nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gpqqcndacp - Gonzalo #[0] - Fortune article:

Here's why Bitcoiners are flocking to Nostr | Fortune

Exactly how high is the ceiling for the decentralized social network?

“Bitcoin is absolutely the Wild West of finance, and thank goodness. It represents a whole legion of adventurers and entrepreneurs, of risk takers, inventors, and problem solvers. It is the frontier. Huge amounts of wealth will be created and destroyed as this new landscape is mapped out.” – Erik Voorhees

Nostr was the best trojan horse ever invented to bring the world's population to Bitcoin #stillearly #few

Nostr vs Twitter

“If you like gold, there are many reasons you should like Bitcoin.” – Cameron Winklevoss

Am i the only one having trouble accessing member.cash?

Does it ring a bell? Internet in 1990's and Bitcoin in the 2020's. We've seen this movie before, and more importantly, we know how it ends :) P.S. Image from twitter account @ AltcoinDailyIo

“Bitcoin, in the short or even long term, may turn out be a good investment in the same way that anything that is rare can be considered valuable. Like baseball cards. Or a Picasso.” – Andrew Ross Sorkin

“Bitcoin is a very exciting development, it might lead to a world currency. I think over the next decade it will grow to become one of the most important ways to pay for things and transfer assets.” – Kim Dotcom

“Just as it got easier to use email, it will be easier to use Bitcoin as people invest in it and become more familiar with it.” – Gavin Andresen

What happened in February?? According to SimilarWeb, the traffic to Nostr web clients fell quite a lot. Causes? Maybe mobile took over? Maybe a web client i didn't track took the #1 spot? What's your take? And btw, what web client do you use? I pretty much check them all every single day 🤣 P.S. Traffic = monthly visitors | PV = Page Views per visit

“Bitcoin is a technological tour de force.” – Bill Gates

“Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement and the ability to create something that is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value.” – Eric Schmidt

I first discovered Nostr back in Feb 14 of this year. The very obvious use case I saw was "a decentralized Twitter". But then it got more interesting. The second use case I found was "owning your follower list". In today's social media world, what you actually own is your email list. Forget about your large social media following: you don't own it, you don't control it, it's not yours. On Nostr you own your follower list. It's still early, but content creators are coming to Nostr. Besides owning their followers list, they'll monetize every single note they publish. Zaps are a great extra revenue source for content creators. My two sats.

“Bitcoin is really a fascinating example of how human beings create value, and is not always rational, it is not a rational currency in that case.” – Alan Greenspan
