“Freedom is not free.” Neither is following someone on your social network built on Bitcoin’s base layer. Nostr is free. ORS costs sats per interaction, requires a Lightning facilitator, an indexer, a cache, and an AI filter. One of these is freedom. The other is a business model. This is pure materialism and degeneracy.

FREEDOM IS FREE. because Bitcoin is free. It was Satoshi’s gift to everyone. It was void of charge: simply convert your debased pseudo money to sound money… or mine it with your time and energy. Shipped with care and with no desire for fame. No strings attached. No development needed. No VC fund. No corporate entity. No ruler or hierarchy allowed. And not a single sat was asked for in return. But most of all - It was not meant to be a data storage pyramid scheme… Just money. #bip110 View quoted note →
