We still do not have an SI unit of "value". While we have (s) seconds for time, (g) grams for mass, and (m) meters for length, there is no SI unit for digital value. We need to think of a System International unit for monetary value, something that is thermodynamically sound, has a base unit, and a defining constant. @The British Blockchain Association #SI #Value #Monetary #Standards #Bitcoin #Blockchain image

Do we need a "Nostr coin"? Nope. It already exists. The Zaps, via Lightning Network. #Nostr

You own and control your CHIDDERS: C - Communication H - History I - Identity D - Data D - Digital Assets E - Entitlements R - Rights S - Social Contacts The #Nostr and decentralised protocols such as Blockchain enables this. #AI #Blockchain #Crypto #selfsovereignidentity #Web3

Steep learning curve! The things I have learned being on #Nostr over the past couple of weeks: - Got verified via Nostr Plebs and learned about NIPs: the Nostr Improvement Proposals, in particular, the "NIP-05" - What are "relays" and how they work - Protocols v Platforms - All the exciting applications being built on top of Nostr, from decentralised podcasts to music, to e-commerce possibilities - the philosophy of a Decentralised Social media - a truly Advertisement-free social media can exist! - You can't delete or amend your post! - Zaps! - And a lot more! #Web3 #Blockchain

Platforms can be banned. Protocols cannot be banned. It is almost impossible to ban a protocol that has no "CEO": Bitcoin Nostr TOR TCP/IP Http #Nostr #Decentralisation #Blockchain #Web3 #BBA

Decentralisation does not mean a lack of accountability. It means that accountability now lies on the shoulders of every individual in the ecosystem. The great privilege and power of self-sovereignty come at a price of great responsibility. #Blockchain #DLT #Professionalism #Nostr #Bitcoin #BBA #Crypto
