Good article. You always have to keep in mind that not everyone has technical knowledge, and not everyone enjoys this kind of stuff like we nerds do. If you want to scale, you have to take that into account. Nostr is on the right path. And if not everyone fully gets it, that’s also a feature. Some people are simply better off elsewhere.

Happy new Year from Orbit✨⚡👽🌌

We often confuse a lenient CEO with actual freedom. On X, your voice exists because it is permitted. On Nostr, your voice exists because the protocol guarantees it. The difference isn't just technical. It's the difference between being a guest and being an owner.

New Read on Nostr: Nostr Zap Store – The attack on the App Store monopoly? 📱⚡ 💜✊ Apple and Google act like prison wardens for our devices. 🏰🚫 They decide what allowed to install and extract a 30% tax on innovation. The Damus case proved it: Real p2p economy is considered a threat in their walled gardens. The Nostr Zap Store is the escape tunnel: No central server. No censorship. No fees. Apps are discovered via protocol (NIP-89) and paid via Lightning (Value4Value). It’s early, it’s raw – and it’s the only path to true digital sovereignty. In the article: deep dive into NIP-89 and Blossom, why Apple hates it, and why Android users are currently winning the freedom game.

🔐 The Sovereign Protocol – how to build an unconfiscatable digital identity. On platforms you’re a tenant. On protocols you’re an owner. On Nostr, identity is math: whoever holds the nsec is the identity. Rule #1: Never type your nsec into Primal, Amethyst, or any browser login. Your key belongs in a signer. Period. This guide shows the pragmatic setup: ✅ generate & store keys inside Amber ✅ use Primal via External Signer (client gets npub + signatures only) ✅ GrapheneOS hardening: disable Network permission for Amber ✅ long-term backup: steel > cloud Read it here:

Community instead of algorithms. Here, people focus on tools, freedom, and real values. Open protocols. Ownership. Responsibility. Less drama. More creation. This is how the future starts. ⚡👽
