Few understand this.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.

This is what makes it the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity of all time!
TBH I don't understand it. I assume I need a client to access the notes on relays but I don't understand what's so unique about a 'client dot com' that it can't be seized by government. Or maybe Nostr's resilience is based on the whack-a-mole premise? So long as government can't become super-efficient at whack-a-mole, I guess it makes sense. View quoted note →
Yes, this is how intellectual property actually works. Freely available for people to copy, hard to forge an identity once you've earned someone's trust/brand recognition.
