The chat with no phone number and no central server to shut down. Powered by Bitcoin and Nostr.

Your keys don't ask "who are you?" They ask "can you enter?"

Keys grant access. IDs beg for permission.

Attempting to KYC the internet is a misunderstanding of how networks work: you can fence the platforms, but you can't fence the protocol.

You close the bathroom door. 👀 That doesn’t make you a criminal. it makes you human.
We’re moving away from platforms that monetize your brain to tools that protect your autonomy. Read the interview with @JeffG on the mission behind White Noise and the Marmot protocol.

GM. The best way to predict the future is to build the tools that make it possible.
The last time you were robbed? Probably five seconds ago.
We accept a 100% tax on our digital lives. We feed the algorithm our thoughts, our networks, and our time. In return, we get served ads.
