“It is sort of backward to say that it has become too expensive to live in Los Angeles. Los Angeles made itself illegal.”

Are we underestimating who is poor?

Michael Green has caused a bit of a dust-up with a piece that was picked up by the Free Press, and which he followed up on at his substack newsletter.

GM PV Demographics are destiny: we need more Gen Z Bitcoiners and Nostriches or else we end up with a demographic problem not dissimilar to Japan. Our cultural vitality is not age-agnostic.

Had a wallet bug I had to get back to desktop to fix. Couldn’t zap for a couple days while I was AFK. Totally changed my Nostr experience. Zapping, for me, is essential.

The open web was built by both non-profits AND for-profit companies. Nostr is no different. People talk like the open web was built only by idealists. Volunteers. Academics. Non-profits… that’s only half the story. The modern internet only exists because for-profit companies open-sourced foundational tools. 🍎 Apple: WebKit — the engine behind Safari and the original base for Chrome Swift — modern safe systems programming mDNS / Bonjour — local networking standards still everywhere Apple showed: open-sourcing core infrastructure expands an ecosystem far beyond one company. ⸻ 🔵 Meta React — the #1 UI architecture on Earth React Native — cross-platform revolution GraphQL — new API mental model Meta proved: open protocols win when the tools become better than the walled gardens they came from. ⸻ 🟢 Google Chromium & V8 — the engine of the modern web and Node.js Kubernetes — the backbone of internet-scale infrastructure Go — DevOps and cloud language standard gRPC, QUIC, HTTP/3 — the pipes the modern web runs on Google demonstrated: openness + corporate incentives can push entire industries forward. ⸻ 🪟 Microsoft TypeScript — the language that saved JavaScript VS Code — the most-used dev environment .NET (open) — enterprise backbone Microsoft taught: the market rewards you for empowering developers, not trapping them. ⸻ 💜 Here’s the Nostr Parallel For-profit companies didn’t fight the open web… they built huge chunks of it. Nostr is the same story, just happening in real time: • independent devs • researchers • open-source maintainers • AND startups building real businesses on an open protocol That mix is the magic. Nostr isn’t “against” capitalism or commerce or profit. It’s against permissioned choke points. Companies built Web1. Companies built Web2. This time, companies are helping build something different: a web where the incentives to build and the incentives to stay open are finally aligned. [transparency note: this post was LLM assisted through several prompts, but the idea and argument are mine]

This place is awesome. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’m having a great time. GN
