committed to building a transparent commercial real estate industry, nostr’s progress shows the way. #proptech

after watching the ai video @jb55 shared, i found myself diving deep into a rabbit hole. the progress in ai video is enormous. imo, we might soon enter a (short) ‘weightless’ time where it’ll be hard to tell what’s real. this could lead to a total shift in trust paradigms, maybe even pushing us back toward face-to-face relationships, which are harder to fake. this got me thinking about true digital identities (not just emails) and the importance of protocols like #nostr. if i can sign a note with my nsec, why not a video or photo? but the big question haunting me: how do we confirm identity without relying on government-issued documents?

what do bitcoin and real estate share? scarcity. btc's supply is locked, and so is the planet's—150 trillion sqm of land, 350 trillion sqm of water, and the entire troposphere. where do they differ?

curious how many startup/tech founders own some bitcoins. there's probably no group that better understands what’s behind this chart. so many similarities between btc and startups – pmf discovery, adoption based on trial and error, early user feedback, never-ending ups and downs, the sense of doing something important for others, breaking the status quo, ongoing passion for tomorrow, etc. this is what drives me to be here: the sense of building the largest startup ever launched in history.

I was never a bitcoiner. I’m not a developer. I’m not an open source creator, more a consumer. I’m a proptech founder solving fragmented information in commercial real estate. My goal is to unlock data and create a more transparent industry where ppl compete based on skill and exp, not just what they know. This isn’t such a big issue in the US, but it’s a huge progress decelerator in Europe. A few years ago, I read “Token Economy” by Shermin Voshmgir and drafted an intro concept for a real estate information protocol. Then, a few weeks ago, I discovered #Nostr, and I haven’t been this excited in a long time. The concept, even if not adapted directly, is literally an instruction for creating decentralized information-sharing protocols. And that is something that must change the status quo. Yesterday - finance, social media - today, information and business - tomorrow. Thank you guys 🤙

today, #nostr -like protocols are influencing the general public. one day, they will transform big industries and corporations. open source = transparency transparency is the measure of human progress

#nostr feels like early twitter - no ads, no politics, just a bunch of friendly ppl and their thoughts.

when it comes to #AI there are dommers everywhere, talking about machines taking over one day. but what I see every day at work are happy ppl who no longer do dummy copy-paste jobs.

seems like I’m the first #proptech soul in this decentralized bay 🏴‍☠️

any proptech folks around?

hello, world! #introductions
