I personally do not see #nostr becoming mainstream any time soon. Don't get me wrong, I think it is superior, however there is no urgency to use it by the masses Historically free, open, decentralized software projects have lagged greatly to closed for-profit centralized projects The biggest value in nostr will continue to be as a safeguard. It is extremely important to maintain and improve it as it is a "check" that could very well be needed one day (same as #bitcoin) That being said, I do think the potential is there. I'm not technical, only interested in privacy and decentralized projects. I stumbled upon nostr and was able to use it. It works. #bitcoin #nostr #linux #selfhost

I appreciate everyone working on operation opt out. Open source decentralized technology is a safeguard against tyranny. You are all doing very important work!

They got us. Credit card companies got everyone to use their credit cards for the points (1.5-2% back) and now every merchant puts a 3%+ surcharge for using a credit card. Well played
